Overcast and warmer ....

24th November 2024 (Sunday)    08.30 ..... the sky is mostly overcast just now, but the weather

forecast is "sunny with gusty winds".... and it's much warmer; so a nice day ahead, once the sun breaks through.   It's going to be a computer day for me, doing all the stuff I need to do for Christmas.   I'll take time out for a wander when it's bright, sunny and warm.   The wind is going to freshen in the afternoon, and we're to have strong winds overnight and tomorrow.   That will dry  up yesterday's rain.

19.00    We've had a lovely as per day, weather forecast (sunny with a frisky breeze), so I went for a walk up to the golf course to see the work going on at the 3rd teeing area.   It's the first time I have walked so far since the beginning of the cold snap we've just had.   That reminds me:  I had a sensitive tooth, (activated by the cold wintry weather) that fell out when I was cleaning my teeth this morning;  which is why I was able to go out in the wind today.  It's my annual dental check up on 6th December so there will be one tooth less to check this time!   I was going to ask the dentist to take it out.   Anyway where was I? .... I know; up at the third teeing area.   There's a lot of work going on around the course, but this is the first site I've been able to actually visit, .... so I took a few photographs for the Alberto Archive.   And enjoyed being out.


I've also been working browsing the computer for Christmas stuff, so I've had a reasonably active and satisfying day.   And it has been a successful one.... so I'm a happy boy.  It has been breezy all day and is to be so all night, freshening towards morning time, windy all day tomorrow, and moderating later in the afternoon.   There's also the chance of squally showers tomorrow.   Not a very nice forecast.  

22.30   It's breezy tonight but at least it's dry;    strong winds tomorrow for most of the daylight hours.

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...
