Damp ....

26th October 2024 (Saturday)    08.45 .... We have a lovely, quiet start to Saturday.   The sky is

mostly cloudy and everything damp;  however, sunny intervals are forecast, with a light Westerly breeze... and it's mild, so a nice day ahead.   We might have afternoon coffee out on the patio.   We're going to Kirkcaldy in the morning.

16.30    Iain has been busy sorting out the sheds and greenhouse;  so we never went to Kirkcaldy.  While Iain has been doing all the work I have been the 'support troop';  putting on the kettle and organising food.   We had a bowl Scotch Broth for lunch....and had it outside at the patio table.  Mind you the breeze was annoying, and, by this time, cold, so we had our dessert inside.

20.00    My word;  Iain has been very busy doing all the things I used to do.   I kept making sure he didn't dehydrate by feeding him cuppas and providing food at the appropriate times.   It has been a good day for working;  dry but not hot!    

We took 'time out' to go up to Largoward to look at a second hand trike.   It's in immaculate condition having only rarely been used.   However, the cost of a new battery (with a range of 20 miles) meant that we would be as well to buy new.  Which is the 'plan'.  I was sorely tempted; but it makes sense to go for a new one.

The clocks have been changed so we could have an extra hour in bed in the morning.... but probably won't.   We've had a shower of rain but the sky has cleared  and it's colder.   Nice night though..

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...
