Dreich .....

16th September 2023 (Saturday)    08.15 ...The Fife Weather cams are all


showing grey... but... two or three of them are showing a paler grey.... we could have a brighter afternoon!   At the moment the weather is exactly the same as it was when I went to bed last night.... grey, wet and miserable looking;  in one word ‘dreich’.   Today’s weather for KY9 is ‘light rain and a moderate breeze’;  the moderate breeze is from the East so it’s cool.   It’s a grand morning for hibernating;  then waking up to sunny spells in the afternoon.

21.00    The weather brightened up, as was forecast, and we enjoyed a bonnie afternoon and evening.   I brightened up the grey morning by visiting Alice, who has near enough recovered from an allergic reaction to ‘something’.  Alan (her son in law) was doing a wee bit of DIY so Alice had a busy morning.   It’s good to have her back in action; Alice has decided to give up doing the ‘twist’. 


There seemed to be a lot of ‘strangers’ around Ferry Road this afternoon so I worked in the garden and started to attack the ivy bush up by The Hutte.  The ivy (bless its spreading tentacles) has started to attack the scaffolding surrounding the new build.   The ‘broon’ bucket goes out on Friday (22nd); it will be full.  When I’m working in The Hutte every time I have a cuppa, or take time out’, I can’t miss seeing the ivy; hence the decision to crop it.

 I didn’t go out with the camera today but had a browse through a Folder in the archive earlier this evening so today’s photographs are from 20 years ago.    

Sunday’s weather forecast is reasonable.... “light rain showers and a gentle breeze”... so


I plan to go for the paper early and be back in Ivy and in ‘rest mode’ before Ferry Road gets busy.... if it’s not raining first thing.

It must be cold .... the central heating has come ‘on’.   I’m off to make the bedtime chocolate and browse the TV channels.

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...
