Damp ....

3rd April 2024 (Wednesday)    08.30 .... I've been for the papers (remembered to get them), and had


a run down to the harbour.    It's a beautiful morrrrning for taking atmospheric, wet look photographs from the car.   I've done aw that;  now I'm going to have breakfast and read the papers.  Oh... I don't think I'll be going out on the bike today!

10.30    Both papers have been read and I ended up watching 'Peppa Pig'.   I wouldn't say that 'Peppa Pig' is the most exciting television to watch; but definitely different!                                I am having morrrrrrrning coffee just now, after which I'll have another go at uploading the video of the car journey from  Lundin Links to Elie harbour.   Click on the coloured link.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w7CaMJf26A&t=45s&authuser=0


17.00    Wellll .... there has been much dampness all day, and heavy dampness: so heavy in fact that the car is back in Ferry Road.   Actually Ferry Road has been busy today;  and I don't think it would be folk making for the beach.   Unless they were wanting 'wet look' photos.   I've had a lazy day;  Shona came by but was only delivering fruit loaf that she'd been baking... so Puku is starting his diet tomorrow!
I've done some research but most of the time I have been browsing the TV Channels;  including the 'News'.   The Middle East continues to sink to new depths!  Even President Biden of the USA said that the killing of aid workers (including three from the UK) was 'outrageous'.   The same President Biden could have stopped supplying the weaponry that's being used to do the killing weeks ago;  now that would be really doing something about it.  Oh I know all about the evil of October 7th... but, the roots of the problem go much deeper than October 7th.  
The Pope said in his Easter message "arms don't bring Peace".   That has been proved in every war up to now.... and this one will be no different.


22.30    It has been one wet day.... thankfully tomorrow is going to be drier.    Tomorrows forecast is "light cloud with a moderate breeze" ;  not much to get excited about, but definitely better than today.

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
