Damp ....

19th November 2022 (Saturday)    08.30.... There’s a touch of dampness


in the air again.... which is disappointing ‘cos the roads were dry earlier:  in fact I was thinking of getting the bike out to go for the paper.   Anyway I’ve been for the paper.... and down to the harbour:  the rain was heavy then, so I didn’t take any photographs.   Ye Gods... if this weather continues I’ll have forgotten how to take a photograph.   Never mind.... we could get a few sunny spells later, though 'strong winds and light rain' is the weather forecast.

20.00     I wouldn’t call the weather we’ve had today ‘the best’.... but, compared to the past couple o’ days it has been ‘bonnie.    Iain, who had intended travelling down yesterday, but cancelled because of the inclement weather, arrived at 10 o’clock this morrrrrrrning.   Since then he has a fixed the shower unit (which had been out of order since Wednesday).... so I am happy to say that I am ‘clean’ again.  I have a bath ....but  they are expensive things to fill nowadays.   Just a reminder;  all this extra money we’re paying is going into somebody’s pocket!


Iain and I have been busy today;   Iain fixing things and me puttin’ the kettle on for cuppas,.... and producing food at regular intervals.    We never got out with the cameras though I took a couple of shots of a blue patch in the sky.

There’s a warning out for more rain spreading our way overnight, and be with us until tomorrow afternoon.    Never mind .... ‘nae dust’ to land on the computer monitor screen.   That’s where a lot of it seems tae end up!

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...
