Light rain ....

11th July 2024 (Thursday)    07.45 .... We have an overcast sky, with light rain and a light NW
Clydesdale.

breeze just now;   so a damp start to the morning.   The forecast,  "cloudy with a chance of precipitation at times", isn't 'iggzactly' the most cheerful for the middle of July.  On a positive note;  the pollen levels will be low..... and, this is a bonus.... we're not having to buy costly sun cream.   

19.30    we had a spells of light rain in the middle of the day; apart from that it has been a nice enough day.   I went to Methil, (via Colinsburgh Filling Station to feed the car) to have morrrrrrrrrning coffee with Alice but she was out, so I did some shopping in Sainsbury's and had coffee when I got home.   I'm becoming used to the roads being busy now.... but you daren't take your eye off the road to admire the greenery!.... and the countryside is looking bonnie just now.

I watched Stage 12 of 'le Tour' in the afternoon.... with a few catnaps as it was a 'sprinter' stage.   The scenery was lovely and the commentators do describe the various chateaus and villages the cyclists were passing so not totally boring.
'West Lodge' - Balcarres Estate.

I had planned to go down to the beach in the evening but the breathing tubes are not operating at their best tonight;  must be the weather.... or something in the air.   Jackie is off to St Andrews to an evening guitar ensemble... so I'll find something to watch on the tele.

21.45    It has been a lovely, quiet evening.... and it's going to be a bonnier day tomorrow.   "Light cloud with a gentle breeze is the forecast", so I might get the bike out.... especially if sunny spells come our way.

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...
