Sunny spells forecast....

29th July 2024 (Monday)     09.00 .... Although it's cloudy just now, "sunny with a moderate

Porridge oats.

breeze" is our weather forecast.... so we should have another bonnie day.    I haven't got a plan for today, but Michael and Janice (Sussex)  are coming up on Wednesday so I might try a bit of ooverin' and dustin'.  Actually, forget 'might' do' .... I should 'do' a bit of ooverin' and dustin'.   But I'm not in an ooverin' and dustin' mood.    

15.00    I surprised myself having actually done some 'ousework.... but still have the ooverin; and dustin' to do.    That will be done tomorrow.    It's a lovely if slightly mauchless, day.   I haven't been anywhere because of the Olympic 10m diving competition, (and show jumping).   Tom Daley and his partner won the Silver Medal, which was amazing for somebody who can out of retirement to compete.   The Chinese took the Gold  Medal; and deservedly so, they were absolutely brilliant.   Even though they beat Team GB.

19.30    The day is ending with a lovely evening, very still... and very warm.    Could be another restless night.    

I went out in the car in the middle of the afternoon (it was mostly cloudy at that time) .... just the short run round by Balbuthie and Kinneuchar.   Kinneuchar has an 'Olde Worlde' look from the Balbuthie Road.... and I love it.   That was after I had done a bit more 'work'.   The bedroom is almost ready for occupation:  got the 'ooverin' to do.   I'll leave the bed making to Michael and Janice!

21.00   It's forecast to be another lovely day tomorrow;  but the wind is going to be fresher so I will feel cooler when out in the open.   Not 'cold' .... just  pleasantly cool.   Tomorrow could be the warmest day of the week...  and a cooling breeze will be welcome.

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...
