Overcast ......

5th January 2023 (Thursday)    10.00 ....I don’t know what was in the air at


06.00 this morning but the breathing tubes were struggling just a bit.   A few puffs of the inhaler sorted it, but it was uncomfortable at the time.    All is good now;  I will have a wander up  the Ferry High Street to post a letter after breakfast.... and another calming cuppa.


11.30   The sky is a bit threatening looking just now, so I’m going to have a run up to  Kinneuchar, in the car, for a change of scene, and to post the letter.   My breathing has settled down but it’s not a good asthma day that’s for sure..... so I’ll spend the afternoon staying warm in Ivy, and drawing.    The asthma always bothers me at this time of year.  Mind you, it has been bothersome since I had COVID.


20.45    I enjoyed a short walk in Kinneuchar....it would have been longer but it started to rain;  but I’d taken a few photos before that happened... and I posted the letter.  Kinneuchar was quiet:  and it was too early to visit Shona so I just came home.   Most of the remainder of the day I spent in Ivy simply because this has not been a good day for me being out;  something (I think it was the weather) had triggered my asthma.  However I have been shredding paper (it’s the grey bucket tomorrow) and sorted out some preliminary sketches of the back of the ‘Ferry Corner’ houses that had to be demolished in 1947.    The final sketches are how Sydney and Jimmy remembered the area.

‘Strong winds and sunny intervals’ is our weather for tomorrow so I might go somewhere (in the car) for a change of scenery;  I suppose it all depends on how my asthma is in the morning;   I’m feeling fine just now.

The aforementioned ‘strong winds’ are to be with us through the night and tomorrow


morning.... beginning to moderate after midday.   At the moment the wind is freshening so we could be in for a wild night.... but it isn’t raining.   Mind you we will have a bit of wind chill to cope with tomorrow.

I think it is ‘chocolate and browse the TV channels time’ again... after a quiet but fairly productive day.

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
