Overcast with showers .....

13th August 2024 (Tuesday)     09.45    The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky....

'Jems' - on canal boat to Falkirk Wheel.

with a scattering of promising patches.    At the moment it's pleasantly warm (with a light Southerly breeze).... so I'm contemplating doing a washing.   I'll see what the weather is doing..... after I have another cuppa.   I'm feeling reasonably frisky this morning but I can't go out on the bike.   Next Monday is a big day at the Vic,....  I could end up without a catheter.    The 'plan' for today is; to unwind (I was stressed yesterday), relax and do things slowly.   Got to get used to 'slowly' now.

20.30    The plan was to unwind today.... and that is what I did.   I ran round wi' the 'oover (I had to because I'd cut my tae nails)... then  a washing but didn't get it out because of the showers.   Tomorrow is going to be a bonnie day so it will be on the line first thing in the morning.  Most of the day I have been  sleeping, including a couple of hours on top of the bed in the afternoon.  I finish the pills on Friday.


21.30   We had a bonnie sunset sky tonight;  so I got the camera out and got a photograph.   I haven't felt in the mood for the camera very much lately but I suddenly felt 'in the mood'.   The plan' is to get up early tomorrow morning to go for the paper before the roads get busy; I might even go down to the harbour!   I've also got a washing to hang out!

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
