Nice morning ....

 18th July 2024 (Thursday)    09.00 .... Although the sky is mostly cloudy there are promising signs


of possible sunny spells to come.... and it's warm, with only a light breeze from the SW.   We've had some overnight rain but it's fine now.... but light showers are mentioned in the KY9 forecast.

19.00   The sky has been overcast most of today, but at least we've had very few showers.   As planned I have had a relaxing day;  anything I have done (and needed doing) has been done.... slowly.   I went to the Skeith Centre,  Anstruther;  from there I went home by way of Balcarres. It wasn't the best kind of light for taking photographs from the Balcarres ridge but I got a few usable ones.  The car has been booked in for a new timing belt and service (1st August).   Having done all that I then watched the last hour of Stage 18 of 'le Tour'. 

21.00    Apparently walking in the rain is good for us..... the raindrops hitting the ground etc. release positive ions that make us feel good.   So, that explains why, on an overcast dry day, I feel 'low'.... but doesn't explain why I also feel 'low' on overcast rainy days.   Probably 'fake' news!


I've just discovered that Michael and Janice (Sussex) arrive on the 31st July... and go back home on the 9th August.   I'd turned over two pages on the calendar and thought they were arriving on the 9th August.  I am a 'silly' boy.   Actually I am well prepared for them so 'no flap on'..... yet!

It is going to be warm with sunny spells tomorrow; so I'd like to go out on the bike but better not.    'Love Your Catheter'?.... I'm rapidly falling out with mine;  it's restricting my activities.

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...
