Overcast and damp .....

10th January 2024 (Wednesday)    08.30 .... It's a nice enough morning, even though the sky


ismostly overcast with a spot o' drizzle now and again ....'drizzle with a moderate breeze' is the weather forecast..    This is a 'rest' day for me after the exertions of yesterday... in fact it could be a 'lazy' day;  though I'm actually in the mood for working on the computer.   I'll do that after breakfast.... and had a couple o' cuppas. 

14.00    We've had perfect weather for me having a 'lazy' day... and 'lazy' I have been;  however I found the 'Train Truckers' on Channel 74 and spent the morning watching that and drinking tea/ coffee.   Being radio-active hasn't made me feel active.  Actually I had migraine earlier so that is most likely why I was feeling lethargic.   Right now I'm doing some research before writing some more of the 'Kinneuchar Project'.  At the moment the weather is dreich, and looks like being so for the rest of the afternoon; I will only be going out to feed 'Blob'.


18.30    Ye Gods ... I've just been out at the bucket and the weather is 'orrible;  in fact it had been 'dreich most of the daylight hours .... but it seemed to be heavier when I was out.   Actually I have been a busy boy on the computer, so the weather hasn't bothered me.  I'm hoping for a bonnier day tomorrow.




22.00   Light cloud and  a gentle Northerly breeze is the forecast for us tomorrow... and there's a good chance of sunny spells, but it will feel cold.   Who cares aboot it bein' cauld when we have 'sunny spells' and the feel good factor they bring with them!   I haven't got a 'plan' for tomorrow... it depends on how  'bright and breezy' I feel.  I'll continue with computer work now and again.
The workmen are making progress with the  cable works on Ferry Road but it's tricky digging job because of the gas water and electricity connections going into the houses.   
I see that Paula Vennels has done the right thing handed in her CBE; when you think about it; it wasn't her fault that someone recommended her for an Honour!

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
