Misty, damp and cold....

10th March 2024 (Sunday)    08.30 .... the sky is heavily overcast, so not much to attract the eye

'Blob' on the mooch.

skywards this morning.   It's damp, but the light rain mentioned in the forecast, has yet to arrive;  though it looks like it could rain/drizzle at any time; not the bonniest on starts to the day,  That said, 'Blob' was in a good mood, twittering away to himself in the Rowan tree. when I went out to feed him.   He's 'in love' because he didn't chase a second  Robin that came down to feed.   

20.30   I've been busy on the computer and  around Ivy so the weather hasn't been a problem for me;  apart from not getting out for exercise.   I fed 'Blob' a few times but never went further than the gate.... I didn't even go for the paper.   The weather has been slightly better than expected .... but never bonnie enough to get excited by thoughts of the beach etc.  The only photo I got was one of 'Blob' on the mooch.  The others are from the Alber' Archive.

When browsing the archive I came across some photographs that could mean  another project.   I'll have three to keep me occupied   The writing up of the 'Kinneuchar Project' is coming on;  I was in mid flow this afternoon when  migraine kicked in (weather) so that brought a quick end to all 'work'.   I have been 'resting' ever since.   That happened at 17.00;  a better time to have one than first thing in the morning.   

9th June 2011.

Good news regarding the weather tomorrow;  we should have sunny spells at some point.    The wind is still going to be from the East so it won't be warm, but it should be considerably brighter.    We like bright and sunny.

22.30   I'm feeling content after a reasonably active day of the computer.   It's always better when the sun shines, but I have loads to get on with on days like this.   Tomorrow I'm looking forward to visiting (and annoying) Alice.

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...
