Feeling frisky ...

12th January 2023 (Thursday)    10.00 .... the sky has clouded over since I


was at the harbour;   light rain showers are forecast for KY9.... and I’m looking for with sunny spells.   We had a ‘red sky in the morning’ sunrise, which I caught from the harbour.   After morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee  I might do  some ‘ousework.  



12.00    That’s the ‘ousework done;  I am now a enjoying morrrrrning coffee, before  having a mosey up to The Hutte.   The ‘plan’ is to go up to Myra’s for a cuppa in the afternoon;  and to see Jim’s National Service medal.   I should get one of them.

The weather has been kind to us so far today;  which is why I am contemplating getting the bike out to go to Myra’s.  However ....there is a cooler air around now and the wind is forecast to freshen so it’s more likely to be the car.


16.30    There was ‘nae chance’ of going to Myra’s on the bike;  it was raining.... and still is: Mostly in the form of long blustery showers.    I enjoyed a coffee, chat and goodie with Myra;  and I’m impressed with the National Service medal.   From Myra’s I went up to the Kirk Notice Board to get the Lanchen Greig phone number:  I have an appointment (blood) at the Adamson on the 23rd.   I then had a quick drive to the harbour and came home by way of Kinneuchar.

20.30    There’s a fair old wind tonight but the showers are forecast to peter out overnight to give us a good drying day tomorrow.   The lights have flickered a couple of times... presumably caused by the aforementioned wind.  

I have ‘nae plan’ for tomorrow, but, if it is a good drying day I’ll get the spare bedding


washed.  That reminds me I have a downie to insert into its cover;  that’s always good for a laugh.   I’ll do that after this update.

I’ve had an enjoyable day... and a reasonably active one.  I’d have like to go out on the bike but that wasn’t to be today.    I phoned the WRVS (Kirkcaldy) who run the Lanchen Greig but there was only an answering machine so I did as I was instructed and hope to get a reply tomorrow.

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
