Wet .....

14th March 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... Low cloud, with rain, has drifted in from the North Sea


and is to be with us for the whole of today;  it is not a play day.   Sunny spells?.... No sunny spells.    In fact it looks like being another unsettled, mostly damp, weekend.   I was hoping for a bonnier day for my visitor(s).  The camera is ready for action.... as is the button pressing finger!    Must 'go'... slight flap on this morrrrrrrrrring.  Actually I'll delay the flappin' and have another cuppa. 

19.00   This has been an exciting day:  my Very Important Visitor arrived bearing goodies.   Well Mum and Dad were i/c but Henry will take over in time.   I forgot just how small babies are, and how completely dependent they are on Mum and Dad.  An absolutely beautiful miniature human.  His vocabulary is limited to a wailing noise.... but he knows when he wants something!.... and so does Mum and Dad.

Emily, John and Henry set off for Cumbria (John's mum and Dad's place) about 14.00;  I sat down with a cuppa after a very exciting couple of hours... and promptly fell asleep.

Henry.

21.30    The weather has been dreich.... but that didn't spoil what has been a very enjoyable, exciting and emotional day.   Emily and John are coming up again in May when the weather should be 'bright and sunny' and we should be able to go for a daunder to the beach.   

This weather brought on a migraine an hour ago so I'm having a couple o' pills with my 'orlicks, and will get orf to bed after this update.   The rain is to be with us overnight and into tomorrow;  that means I won't be in a hurry to go anywhere in the morning!

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...
