Breezy and cold, after a wild night .....

12th April 2023 (Wednesday)   08.30 .... There’s a wintry feel to the air this


morning, but the wind is moderating after a wild night. The street is dry so the rain has moved away, but showers are mentioned in the weather forecast.   I have towels to wash but will leave that washing until we have a ‘good drying day’ forecast.   Today is going to be a 'rest day':  I'm going to visit Alice and do a wee shopping in Leven;  I don't need to buy food as in real food;  Janice left loads of food in the freezer.... I only need milk 'n stuff;  and top up ingredients for the 'Emergency Ration' tin.

16.30   I’m sorry to say that I was in ‘couldn’t stop talking’ mode;  so Alice’s lugs are now in need of a ‘rest day’ .... or two!  However it could be said that I have had a ‘rest day’;  because I certainly haven’t done much work.   Oh .... I did the wee bit shopping etc, scoffed a bowl o’ soup, an Empire biscuit, and a piece of carrot cake:  all energy giving succulent, so I’m feeling frightfully frolicsome now.   Finally....the 'Emergency' Ration tin is no longer empty!   It's a bonnie afternoon but  rather cold:  I'd get the bike out if it was warmer.

21.00   Well... it has been a bonnie enough day in between the showers.    Some of the shower clouds were big and their contents very damp.   Not a good drying day.


I’ve had a quiet day;  I even fell asleep on top of the bed in the afternoon.   I don’t have a plan for tomorrow;  ‘light rain showers and a moderate breeze’ is forecast.... the moderate breeze being from the ENE and that doesn’t agree with my breathing tubes, so it’s unlikely that I’ll be on the bike.   I  have plenty projects to pick up, Kinneuchar Kirk being one of them, so I’ll probably do a bit on that.   I have different drawing projects going at the same time and work on any one of them depends on when the mood takes me.

After an enjoyable day I’m going to have an early night in bed;  although I don’t have a ‘plan’ I might get up early I have a short run on the bike before the streets are busy.

I get my COVID booster jab on Saturday (Ainster); so that’s one day I can’t go out on the bike.  I would forget totally about the jab if I did go biking; and Saturday is forecast to be a bonnie day so it will be very tempting.

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
