Chilly air .....

17th April 2024 (Wednesday)     09.30 .... It's a nice enough morrrrrrrrning but there's a chilly

breeze from the North.   Anyway today is going to be a 'relax and unwind' day;  and it started well .... I slept until 07.45.   I must have been a tired boy after the stress of the last couple o' days.   No 'plan' for today.... though I might go round the villages on the bike if the air warms up.     

14.30   There's little chance of me going out on the bike;  the air is colder that it was this morning, due to the wind freshening and we've had a heavy shower o' rain.   I've been working on the computer generally relaxing.   Myra left a message to remind me that the Friendship Lunch was at Colinsburgh today, but I was outside and by the time I picked up the message Myra would be at Colinsburgh.   Imagine me missing out on lunch;  sadly the car is in 'dry dock'.   I won't go out on the bike today, but I might take a walk up to the seat at the 17 th green later; it's protected from a North wind.

20.30    It was hot in the back garden this afternoon (where the patio is going to be) so I am hoping that the weather is kind tomorrow so that I can start painting the shed you see in the photograph.   Funnily enough painting the shed and the Hutte is one of the few jobs I can comfortably do...slowly.  I 'set up my 'scaffolding'' this afternoon!   

Lovely evening ... but cold!
I haven't heard from the garage: but I'm hoping they will manage to do the car before the weekend.  The forecast isn't bad for the weekend.... more or less typical April weather..... so I could get around on the bike.  I didn't go out on the bike today because of the cold wind....  and the chance of heavy showers.

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...
