Misty and damp....

19th May 2024 (Sunday)    08.45 .... Everything is wet after a night of heavy mist.... and it's still


misty and damp.   I can't work up any enthusiasm for this kind of morning;  however, the sun will eventually burn the mist off; I'm enthusiastic about that ....but it might take a while.   West is the place to be this morrrrning.   

19.00   The sun didn't really get going until 14.00;  not only did it make me feel brighter,  the temperature went up a couple of degrees!.... but it was never really warm exposed to the cold Easterly wind.   I said the 'West' was the place to be so West I went;  all the way to Methil to visit Alice.    Methil felt slightly warmer than Ferry Road did... but not much.  For some reason Alice does 'happy' most of the time... and 'happy' is contagious.   We had a cuppa  then Alan (Alice's son in law) arrived on his bike, so we had another cuppa and a good old natter.   Alan went off to do some shopping in Leven, and Alice produced a lunch that she had prepared earlier.... a very tasty Chicken Chasseur, followed by a favourite sweet....a 'nae calorie' 'Eton Mess'.   That girl spoils me.  We then had a mug o' coffee before I set off for home, after a relaxing few hours.  

I've had ' a sandwich 'dinner', now I'm wondering if I could manage a hirple to the beach.  I'll see how I feel after another cuppa.   


20.30   I've been to the beach.... I'll now have the cuppa that I meant to have before going to the beach.  It's nice evening but the East wind clobbered my breathing so I never got further than  Nana's seat.   I should have thought about that before I went.  Anyway I enjoyed the wee bit exercise, but it was hard work coming home.  I'm going to have that cuppa now!

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
