Heavy rain .....

 8th October 2023 (Sunday)     08.45 .... When I looked out at 06.00 I thought "Alber ma boy....


go back to bed";   it was raining heavily then.... and still is.   I should be competent on the new computer by the end of today!   Actually, the wind is forecast to veer to the West and the rain to clear away to give us sunny spells: I might get out on the bike by the end of the afternoon!   In the meantime it's practice on the computer;  and maybe even do some drawing.   


21.00   Normally I do not like wet days, but I was able to get the hang of the new computer during this wet spell, so I never got disgruntled.... in fact I am a happy boy.  It's an ill wind that disnae blow some good right enough!   Mind you the rain prevented me having a run around in the car; I'm hoping the roads are clear so that I can visit Alice.   She is bound to be needing annoying.

When the rain did stop I got the bike out and did a tour of the villages;  up to Chapel Green then along to The Terrace (Elie) and home by Liberty.   Loads o' folk were out walking (and biking); like me glad to get some exercise.   I had hoped that the sun might break through but that didn't happen.   Maybe tomorrow:  'sunny intervals and light winds' is the weather forecast for our area.

Liberty - Elie.

I've had a busy day, not physically but definitely mentally:  I'm really happy to have been able to do some of the 'stuff' I've done on the computer today;  the brain cell will be tired tonight.   I'll make the chocolate after this update, then see what I can find on the TV

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...
