Early morning showers ........

16th October 2022 (Sunday)  07.00.... I’m fired up and ready to go.... but


there’s a rain shower passing over just now so ‘going’ is on hold for a while;  the forecast is good and we should be basking in sunshine by mid morning.   I’m hoping to go out on the bike sometime today..... after the air warms up a bit.   

17.30    I’ve had a reasonably active day;  but the asthma kicked in mid morning and that put the brakes ‘on’ the planned activities.   However  it cleared up after lunch; I don’t know what was in the air but it gave me a ‘rest day’ that’s for sure.   I made Eve’s Pudding .... this time with  more apples than recommended in the recipe so that I ended up with a better ‘apple to sponge’ ratio.   Hey I like that; very Delia Smith.

Rires Farm.

I did think of going out on the bike but decided that would be a step too far, for the breathing tubes.... so I had a short run in the car.   I must get up to Balcarres soon, preferably on the bike, to get the autumn colours.   We’re supposed to be having ‘strong wind’ tomorrow so I’m hoping it doesn’t strip too many leaves off the trees.

I’m feeling brighter again after a tricky old day.   The washing has been brought in and will be ironed this evening when watching the tele.

21.15    With the asthma mysteriously ‘kicking in’ I’ve had a funny old day;  however I’ve enjoyed myself  but would have been happier if I’d been able to go out on the bike or down to the beach.  From what I saw on the Country File ‘next week’ forecast.... Tuesday looks like being the best day for biking.  As I mentioned above, tomorrow is going to be


‘sunny with strong winds’.   I’m hoping to go to the beach at sunrise time, before the wind freshens; but that depends on how I’m feeling.   I’m feeling frolicsome now;  just when I’m going to make the chocolate!   I’ll put the TV on and have a look at the News; it, the UK News, has been entertaining lately.   Actually I think it's time we had another Reformation.

6th October 2024 (Sunday)    "Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary"  to Brian and Moira". 09.00 .... All the Fife Weather cams are showing overcast skies.   The Anstruther cam looks the bleakest!..... the Lochgelly the least bleak.  The Easterly breeze has brought the weather in from the North Sea.... and  'sunny spells' are not mentioned in the weather forecast, but ... sometimes the sky looks promising!   It's a good day to be inside.  Luckily I, (and all the other guests), are celebrating Brian and Moira's Golden Wedding Anniversary in the Lindsay Room at Kinneuchar Castle. 10.30     It's still raining, but the sky looks promising now and again;  the sun might break though in the afternoon.  I had a walk round the patio in the light rain; very refreshing.    I'm having morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee before I start to get organised for Kinneuchar Castle. 20.30    We had a really pleasant family and friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

16th August 2024 (Friday)  08.30 ...It's a lovely morning but a layer of thin cloud is taking the Jackie. edge off the temperature so we have a chilly start to the day;  hopefully the sun will burn off the cloud to give us a sunny and warm(er) day soon.    The Auchnagatt 'troops' are expected to arrive about 10.30:  and I am organised .... and looking forward to seeing Jackie, Hazel, Catriona and Iain in one photograph.... a rare occurrence nowadays!  20.30 .... I got the photograph that I wanted... all four (soon to be five) of the Lawrie Family of 'Backhill of Inkhorn' (Auchnagatt) in one place!   It has been a most enjoyable day.  We had lunch at the very popular Cupar Garden Centre Restaurant (it was busy) followed by a browse round the garden centre:  the 'troops' did proper browsing:  I had quick browse followed by a catnap in the car.   The middle of the afternoon is my siesta time; and especially so after a good lunch!   And it was a really good lun

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
