Mild .....

 

21st October 2022 (Friday)     07.15 .... the sun rises at 07.57 this morning


and sets at 17.58, so we could have 10 hours and 1 minute of ‘sunny spells’.  There are two very welcome changes with the weather this morning.... it’s not raining and it’s mild.   I might get the bike out to go for the paper.... assuming it stays dry; ‘Light cloud and a moderate breeze’ is the forecast.

09.45    We had a light rain shower when I went for the paper so I took the car;  I’ll go out on the bike after breakfast.   When I was out I went and  had  a wander round the harbour and noticed that moves are afoot for ‘Crane Our’ (Monday 24th).    I’m feeling brighter today and should get the drawing board lined later... when the sun breaks through.


16.30   It is a long time since I pasted paper so I enjoyed lining the drawing board, even though it wasn’t proper paper hanging;  as in ceilings or walls .... but I’m happy.  

I eventually went out on the bike, but only as far as Chapel Green then up to the Pony Field;  it was pleasantly warm but quite misty.... in fact there was a bank of low cloud at the other side of the Balcarres ridge.   There was something in the air that agitated the breathing tubes, which I why I didn’t stay out long.

 19.30    I’m tired.... I didn’t think that paperhanging was hard work!   Oh well tomorrow will be a rest day;  having said that the weather dictates what I do,  and tomorrows weather is slightly ‘iffy’..... ‘light rain and a gentle breeze’;  hopefully the light rain will be in the form of showers in between long sunny spells;  otherwise it will be a drawing day.    I’ll start the ‘back of Ferry Corner’ because that’s on my mind just now with the work at Ferry Lodge beginning soon.   

The villages are busy... in fact the villages are always busy, as are the roads around the


East Neuk;  and The ‘Royal Burgh’ is a community once more.   Maggie would like that.

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 f...

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 l...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
