Light showers .....

27th August 2023 (Sunday)      07.30 .... That was disappointing: When I first


looked out Ferry Road was dry;  by the time I’d showered and got ready to go on the bike a shower (they are mentioned in the forecast for today) had drifted over.    I’ll have another cuppa because I’m feeling positive .... and it’s only a light shower: Light rain showers, with a light breeze, is the weather forecast for KY9.


10.30    Not only did I go to Elie for the paper;  I actually got the paper!   It’s a quiet kind o’ morning,  but the threat of light showers has been changed to ‘thundery showers’....I’m not liking that.  The sun is trying hard to break through and we should have sunny spells soon;  hopefully the thundery showers will miss us.  The bike battery is being charged in anticipation of a bonnie afternoon/evening.   


15.30    The showers have been annoying;  but I’ve made good progress with the pencils.... and I’m still looking forward to getting out for exercise in the evening.   I came in to have a cuppa and check out where the thunder storms are.  So far we have missed the thunder, only catching bits of the showers: just now thunder storms are active from Yorkshire, down the East coast of England and in the southern part of the North Sea.... so the evening might be dry.   The nearest thunder storms (to us) are around Carlisle.



19.15    Now that the bike has a fully charged battery I’d hoped to go out this evening, but the threat of showers made me change my mind:  I’ll have a decent ‘paper run’ tomorrow morning;  assuming that the showers have moved away and the sun is set at ‘warm’.   ‘Sunny intervals and a gentle breeze’ is the forecast.

The inclement weather meant that I had a good day with my pencils;  I meant to take a


photograph of the latest drawing but got side tracked.  I’ll do all that tomorrow before I go along to Methil to visit Alice, who is housebound with a sore knee.

Forget yesterday’s comment about Nadine;  I read the resignation letter that she sent to the Prime Minister.   I wonder if she sends Christmas cards?

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...
