Damp and breezy ....

30th December 2022 (Friday)     09.45 .... There’s a touch of “dampness


 with a bit of a breeze” this morrrrning;  I can do nothing with my hair on damp days so it’s a ‘bad hair day’..... not a morning for going out to play or be seen.    However, the weather is going to brighten up in the afternoon;  so bring on the sunny spells. 

Though feeling slightly under the weather I’m vertical, and feeling brighter than I did yesterday; I should get out to play tomorrow.

11.30   Happy me... the Lochgelly Weather cam is signs of the rain cloud layer starting to break up;  that said, the rain is somewhat heavier in ‘The Royal Burgh’ at the moment.... it’s ‘bucketing doon’!   Em and John are off to the shops just now... I had planned to go with them but I’m not at 100%  just yet... though I feel that I am on the mend.   I might lie low for a couple o’ days.     


20.30  Emily and John had an adventurous trip to, and back from, the Fisher and Donaldson, Fudge Doughnut Factory in Cupar;  they had to make various changes to their route due to flooding and eventually came home by way of St Andrews Kingsbarns... the coast road.   We did enjoy the fruits of their labour!...Steak Bridies and Fudge Doughnut’s.   I had intended going but changed my mind because I still felt ‘under the weather’.

After lunch we went for a walk;  Emily and John went up to Chapel Green then home by way of Sea Tangle Road.   I went up to the seat at the 17th green;  I’d planned to go further but my legs were a bit shaky.... like after having the ‘flu. I presume it’s form of flu virus that I’ve had for the past few days.   I have to say it’s not too bad a virus, but, like all viruses, it weakens the muscles.   The next couple of days will be rest days.

Em and John are at Kirkcaldy, staying with their friends for Hogmanay.   I really


enjoyed having them here;  John did most of the work that I hoped to have done before they arrived.   I just couldn’t get going.  However, the bug didn’t seem to affect my tongue:  I talked a lot.

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
