Feeling frisky ....

20th November 2023 (Monday)    07.30 .... Apart from Anstruther the Fife weather cams are all


showing a mixed sky;  the Anstruther cam is showing a very dark sky.   The weather forecast is 'light rain with a moderate breeze' .... more or less what we can expect at this time of year.   As ever... I'm looking for sunny spells by lunch time.   I'm going to have breakfast then get organised to go to Elie surgery (blood test).

18.45   Funnily enough I actually enjoyed my visit to the surgery.... even though it was to have a phial of the 'royal' blood taken by Catriona (Nurse).   We chatted for a while;  I did most of the chatting.   I had a run out to the car park at Woodhaven to get a photo or two of the lighthouse etc.... then went back to Ivy for another cuppa before making for Methil to visit Alice...who had been experimenting with the slow cooker.... and boy..... the result was tasty!    Alice was going to Kirkcaldy after lunch so I gave her  a run to the Bus Station (Leven) on my way home to the Royal Burgh.


Back at Ivy I spent my afternoon asleep in front of the tele.   When I woke up I felt fresh and thought about going out on the bike;  but  the temperature had dropped considerably so I made afresh cuppa and actually watched a nature programme.... all the way through   Having had a braw lunch at Alice's I only had sandwiches for dinner.   Since then I have chatted to 'M' (NZ) and will now make a fresh cuppa, before settling down to do some drawing and look for something to watch on the tele.   


22.30     'Sunny intervals and a gentle breeze' is our weather for tomorrow;  the gentle breeze being from the North so it is going to be cold.     I might go out on the bike in the middle of the day.... when the temperature is at it's warmest (forecast to be 7C so not very warm).

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
