Bright and breezy .....

25th August 2024 (Sunday)    09.45 .... It's bright and breezy and a good drying day just now. 


 Showers are  forecast to arrive in the early afternoon.    I've been for the paper.... and visited the harbour (not the warmest place to be) then home by Kinneuchar.   Since then I have hung out a washing.... which I hope the wind will dry by midday!   Tomorrow is a better forecast for doing the downie cover and big sheets.   

I'm thinkin' a mug o' coffee would be a good idea;  that, and a look through the Sunday Post.


19.45    The light rain we had in the afternoon has moved away  and we have a lovely evening.    I've had a semi productive day;  the washing I hung out dried and has been ironed.... and I did a wee housework.   I watched Great Expectations in between doing the ironing and stuff.   So it could be said that I've had a 'quiet, stress free day'!    Quiet yes.... stress free ...no!    A bird cra .... pooed on the new hand rail.   Luckily the rain came and washed it off.... but birds are no respecters of new handrails.   I am not pleased.   

We have a good weather forecast for tomorrow so I intend washing the double bed bedding.... beginning with the downie cover;  it's huge.    In fact I'll wash it tonight and hang it out first thing in the morning.  If it's a decent drying day it should dry quickly, allowing me to get the sheets done too!   I'm a 'happy boy'.   It used to take more than a good drying day to make me happy!   Good drying days made Maggie happy!   Anyway.... 'sunny intervals with a moderate breeze is the forecast' for Monday.

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
