Cool and overcast ....

19th February 2023 (Sunday)     08.15.... There was a red sky along the



Lammermuirs this morning...the rest of the sky was a 'not very interesting grey';  drab would be the best way to describe it.   The air is cooler but not frosty (4C):  the actual weather forecast for KY9 being .... (22.5 second pause) ....“strong winds and a light breeze, with a low chance of precipitation”.   Not the most stimulating start to the day.  I don’t think I’ll be going far on the bike!

19.00   I’ve been busy on the computer for most of today;  but I took time out to go to the ‘Store’ to do awe bit shopping.    I realised that the lassie on the checkout was from the USA or Canada.   When I asked her she told me that she was originally from New York;  it was then that I realised I was talking to Gail, who is married to David, a friend and fellow ex Craw’s Nest employee.    We had a good blether while checking out and caught up with each other.   It’s a small world right enough.


I never went out on the bike but did go down to the beach at sunset time;  the sun had broken through an hour or so before sunset so the day ended bonnie.... albeit breezy as the wind had freshened.   Judith was out walking her dog;  as were a few others on the beach and bents.   ‘Harvey’ appeared;   now ‘Harvey’ is one of those dogs that it could be tricky deciding which end the lead went onto;  until he starts to dig!   And ‘Harvey’ digs.   He digs a hole for his ball to the depth he likes, drops the ball in the hole, looks at it.... then picks up the ball and moves on to begin the whole process all over again.   Harvey shifts some sand on his walks!   It’s harder work being ‘Harvey’ than it is being ‘me’!

22.00   This has been a funny old day for me....I had a migraine (weather) in the middle of the day so that took the wind oot o’ ma sails:  however I managed to get some work done on the computer.  I’ve taken a couple o’ pills and will poodle orf to bed after this. 


KY9’s weather forecast for tomorrow is ‘strong winds and drizzle’ which is not good;  but  I should finish the computer mission I’m working on.   Must ‘go’... slight ‘Flap On’;  got a kettle tae switch ‘on’.

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...
