Overcast ....

15th February 2023 (Wednesday)    09.00.... We have a mostly overcast sky


this morning... and there’s a ‘low chance of precipitation’ before morrrrning coffee time (11.00);  followed by sunny spells in the afternoon.   I haven’t been anywhere so far; I’m feeling sluggish and choked up with a heid cauld... and;  I have muscles ....some of them to be sair.   This could well be a stay in and warm day;  now that I have new reading glasses I’ll be able to draw without straining my eyes.   The Varifocals glasses were not good for drawing.

I don’t think I’ll be going to the Colinsburgh Lunch.... I’ll see how I feel after morrrrrrrning coffee. 

20.30    The lassie from Govan’s phoned to let me know that me new distance glasses (spectacles) were ready so I had a cuppa, then  louped intae the car and went to Ainster to collect said glasses.    They are definitely better than the varifocals for clarity.... and once I get used to physically changing from distance glasses to the reading ones I think this will be better for my eyes.   Anyway I now have both pairs of new glasses;  and I was home in to go to the Colinsburgh Lite Bite lunch at 12.30.


There was a good attendance at Colinsburgh;  in fact another three tables had to be brought out to accommodate late arrivals.   As well as the ‘Lunch’ we had some of the local school kids and their mothers in so all ages were well covered;  not just the elderly.   It was a very enjoyable hour and a half of good food and happy company.

Back at Ivy I had another cuppa before settling down in front of the tele to have an afternoon nap.   It lasted just short of an hour.   Since then I have had a ‘lite bite’ dinner, watched the ‘news’ and played with some of the photographs I got today.

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...
