Breezy ....

28th January 2024 (Sunday)    08.30 ....It's a nice morning with a wheen o' clouds scuttling

'Holy Willie'.

across an interesting sky;  the weather forecast is breezy with sunny spells in the morning, and light rain later in the afternoon.  The wind has freshened since I got up, but it's a surprisingly warm wind for this time of year.... so, though cloudy (just now) it's a pleasant enough morning.  I'm vertical.... and almost ready to do things.  

16.00    I don't now what was in the air today but it didn't agree with my tubes.... so I didn't go far from the door.    I managed to get photographs of the Katherine Villa demolition and the roadworks for the Alber Archive but that was as far as I went.   Actually, now that I think of it,  I should have taken the 'Hurdy Gurdy' as it has seat attached.    Anyway I enjoyed the short walk and look forward to cleaner air tomorrow.

19.38    19.6C at this time of year;  the new record temperature for January.   Climate change seems to be speeding up;  and it's going all the way up to the Artic.  It was warm here, but the biggest difference in out weather is that we're getting more wet weather.   That was a good thing today by the way;  the rain cleared away whatever was agitating the breathing tubes.

Katherine Villa site.

It will be interesting to find out how the Balchrystie - Elie road closure is going to operate over the next seven weeks.   If the weather is kind I might get the bike out tomorrow and potter my way up to Kinneuchar;  the weather forecast is good.

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...
