Humid ...

1st August 2024 (Thursday)     08.15.... There's a change in the weather this morning;  with a lot

of cloud just now, and we've had a shower o' rain.   Thunder storms are forecast for most of England (Yellow Warning) including sunny Sussex.    So far Scotland is exempt from the thunder warning.   Funny how the change in weather brings a change in how we feel;  yesterday was a proper summer's day (it had to be; I wasn't wearing a jersey) and I was feeling really good.   It's warm today but  rain isn't far away by the feel of the air;  I don't know how 'you' feel, but I 'm feeling sluggish.  However I enjoyed taking the antibiotic pill this morning.... it was the last one!

14.00   That's the car had it's bits and pieces sorted;  I can relax knowing it has a new timing belt.  Not that I'm a worrier though I have known to have a 'flap on' now and again..   Michael and Janice delivered the car to Mercury Motors this morning then took the bus to Leven and had a  walk about: L  eventually doing a shopping then catching a bus back to Mercury.   Meanwhile I was taking it easy at Ivy, but have done a washing that had been accumulating in the machine.... and is now on the line.
It was 22C (shade) in the garden when I was hanging out the washing.... but it's 'mauchless'.    Not a day for me being out.
Janice and Michael are away for a daunder round the villages;   I am going to have '50'.... 'mauchless' days are good resting days.


18.00     We ended up with another lovely day;  I'm thinkin' we could get to like this kind of weather!    Michael and Janice walked the beach to 'The Ship Inn', had a refreshing drink, then back to Ivy by the beach again, (the tide was out by this time);  which is why I have beach photos today.   Michael took them!   Me?.... I had a couple of hours sleep on top of my bed.

20.00     It's a nice evening but, my word, it's warm and humid;  not a good sleeping night ahead.   I've been bringing in the washing and had to take a couple o' puffs of the bloo inhaler because it's so mauchless. 
Michael and Janice are away up to the 19th for a nightcap:  I imagine the 19th will be busy with food this benign evening.    Someone must have ordered 'fish supper' that's the aroma that was drifting across the garden.
This has been another restful day!.... however I have an early start tomorrow.   Alan (Lanchen Greig driver) is picking me up at 08.00 for a 09.00 appointment at the Victoria.

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

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 time to spare   Janice was dropped off near a shopping centre, and Michael went wi
