18th December 2023 (Monday)    08.30.... 'light rain with a fresh breeze' is the weather forecast


for the morning, with an improving forecast for the afternoon that includes the chance of a few late sunny spells.   At this time, the sky is overcast with a damp look to it;  we could have a reasonable morning  (with the chance of a light rain); and it's warm.... with only a light south westerly breeze.

16.00   I delivered the last (?) of my local Christmas cards;  I've been working off an old list so there might be a few more as I remember them.   I'll put a card up on FB and on the 'blog' just in case.  Anyway I had a wander round by Rotten Row this afternoon and chatted to Ken (Murray),and  Eleanor and Ron.   An enjoyable walk on a bonnie, if slightly cooler than I expected it to be, afternoon.   
The water table has rise so much with the recent rains that the electricity sub station (Ferry Road) is flooded and overflowing onto Ferry Road;  luckily the actual unit is above the water level.   Ferry Road is going to be 'Closed' for two weeks beginning on the 8th January to allow work to stop the ingress of water.


22.30    Tomorrow's plan is to go to Leven and deliver cards to Janet, then go up to Methil to have a cuppa at Alice's before we visit Scoonie Care Home:  I might as well do some shopping when in Leven.   Iain is coming down on Friday then we travel up to Auchnagatt on Saturday for Christmas with Iain, Jackie and the 'troops', Hazel and Catriona.  I intend going for some major road driving when the better weather is back with us.... Springtime so that I can drive up to Aberdeenshire in the summer.
 
Main Street - Kinneuchar.

We have 'sunny intervals' coming our way tomorrow... but it's only one day of sun stuff, as we then have mixed weather for a few days.... including gales on Thursday.  That said it is still mild for this time of year.

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...
