Misty and damp ...

7th May 2023 (Sunday)     09.30 .... We’ve had a lot of (much needed) rain


overnight and we still have occasional spells o’ drizzle, but it’s an improving sky so we should have sunny spells later.... probably round about lunch time.   I am actually thinking ‘bike’.... there’s a lot of water on the roads but it’s a calm (and warm) mornin....; so it all depends on how the weather situation develops.   I’ve been for the paper and down to the harbour;  now I am ready for breakfast.



10.00   The wind has freshened slightly  and the air feels colder with the wee bit wind chill off the sea;  so...the biking idea has been shelved and the kettle switched ‘on’.    I’ll go biking on Tuesday.... after the wind has veered to the West.  It's now time for  morrrrning coffee before loupin’ into action with the pencils.

20.00    I had a quiet day drawing, reading the paper and dozing in The Hutte.   We ended up with a bonnie afternoon but the haar was never far away .... you could feel it in the air, so I’m glad that I didn’t yield to temptation and go out on the bike.   I must admit I was sorely tempted.   Anyway I got a good bit of drawing done so I’m happy.   And I read ‘Oor Wullie and 'The Broons'.   No wonder I’m tired.


The weather for KY9 tomorrow is a bit iffy;  we’re down for ‘heavy rain and  a gentle breeze’....with the rain moving in by midnight tonight.   Pollen won’t be a problem.   It will be a good day to (it’s the last day) visit the History Society Exhibition in the Toll Green Hall tomorrow;   ‘Open’ from 10.00. - 16.00.   We should get 'sunny spells' in the afternoon.








22.45    I missed the first third of the Coronation Concert but what I did see was impressive;  all of the entertainers were famous names  (some I’ve never even heard of) but everyone at Windsor seemed to know all of them:  the crowd certainly enjoyed themselves including King Charles, Queen Camilla and other members of the Royal Family.    Luckily Alice phoned me to remind me that it was ‘on’ or I would have missed the whole show.

I’m havin’ a ‘JT’ (Janice Toddie) before going to bed as I seem to have the beginnings of


a cold;  and I don’t want that.   Put another way;  if I do have a cold I want rid of it before next weekend.   Must ‘go’ flap on... JT to make!

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
