Sunny spells ....

 

13th January 2022 (Friday)    09.00 .... its not the bonniest of mornings... the


sky is mostly overcast, with a ‘clear sooth’ (usually means rain within 12 hours), but I’m anticipating a good drying day so have a bedding wash going through the machine.   I’m a happy boy.   No other plan as yet, but when the ‘sunny spells’ come I might get the bike out.

18.45    I didn’t get the bike out.... but the washing dried ‘in nae time’, and has been ironed.   It was the perfect drying day.    Mind you I’m not that keen on ironing big sheets but I they have been done so I am content.   I should say ‘tired and content’.  

I took the car up to Elie for the paper.... and had wander round the kirkyard (and photographed the kirk tae bits) when I went to visit the Memorial Garden.   The graveyards of Kinneuchar and Elie are full of departed family and friends.... but the memories are alive and sharp.   I wasn’t being maudlin’.... I just fancied a wander round to the Garden.


Slight moan ahead.   Rishi Sunak and Nicola Sturgeon had a constructive meeting in Inverness;  at long last we have a ‘grown up’ conversation between the UK and Scottish Leaders.   Now if ‘grown up’ spread to both Parliaments we might get somewhere.   In times of crisis Party politics just doesn’t work.  Moan over.  



22.30   I’ve had a satisfying day;  though I flagged a bit in the evening..... I fell asleep.   Nothing new there right enough;  but I was watching Sean Batty at the time and missed the last 10 minutes.

The weather forecast is ‘nae bad’ for tomorrow... ‘light showers and a fresh breeze’


should give us some interesting clouds.   I forgot to make an appointment to have my haircut;  with me having a bug in the weeks before the Christmas its overdue.

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
