Light rain ....

15th August 2024 (Thursday)    09.30 .... Although overcast with light rain it's actually a nice,


quiet kind of morning;  I'd enjoy going for a daunder to the beach on a morning like this.   I imagine even the Herring gulls will be at peace with each other;  well maybe not.   Anyway the rain is going to move away to give us a bright and sunny afternoon.   

I slept 'in' this morning, and I'm feeling all the better for it;  I wouldn't say I was 'playful' but I'm getting that way.   Iain Jackie, Hazel and Catriona are coming down tomorrow and we're going out for lunch to celebrate Catriona's graduation, Glasgow University (1st Hon).   That reminds me;  I'd better do the ironing.

12.30    I've been for the paper(s);  got money from the cash machine, with much help from Aileen (Burns).... calmed down with a run home by way of Kinneuchar.   If anyone sees Aileen please thank her for me.... I'm sure I forgot to do so at the time.  Me being me I was in 'big Flap On State'!

The sky is beginning to break up ...bring on the sunshine.

20.00    It has been a mixed u old day as far as the weather went;  but the rain finally moved away in the afternoon and we now have a sunny but cool evening.    I've had a busy day;  Kenny and Gerry came after lunch, Kenny to update me about the meeting with Architect, and Gerry to let me know that the garden would be reinstated as promised, and finished next week.   So it has been an eventful day and I'm happy now that it has all been sorted out... and look forward to seeing it all 'done and dusted'.   


With all that excitement going on I didn't do anything in the afternoon.... apart from hang out a washing, which should dry tomorrow.   I'm a happy boy and should sleep well tonight (I usually do).   I can now look forward to Catriona's  Graduation Lunch tomorrow.

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
