Wet and windy ....

23rd November 2024 (Saturday)    08.30 .....Its a wild, wet and windy, morning;  a nice morning

for visiting Alice, chomping through her homemade biscuits..... and maybe wandering round a supermarket.  The strong winds should moderate by midday, but the rain/sleet is to be with us most of the daylight hours.    Not a morning for the beach (try telling dogs that) or golf course:  but, at least the wind is slightly warmer.   A pity about the velocity of it!   And there's snow on the roofs of the houses on the Lochgelly weather cam.

19.38    'Storm Bert' has made "himself" felt today, bringing every kind of horrible weather all over the UK. The 'Amber Warnings have been downgraded to Yellow Warnings for rain and wind .... that is a step in the right direction, but  'Bert' is going to be with us for another couple of days at least.  Monday is going to be seriously windy;  that will probably be the tail end of 'Bert'.

As planned I went along to Methil to visit Alice.   The biscuits she baked were absolutely scrumptious.  Definitely of the diet breaking variety!   We didn't go out, it was too wet (even in to even go shopping;  we would have been 'drookit' taking the shopping out to the car.   After our morning cuppa we chatted  about different hobbies until lunch rime.   Once again Alice produced a lovely lunch, followed by afternoon coffee. before I set of home.

The homeward journey was less wet than the outward one.... and the roads less busy.   Not surprising considering the weather.  Although wet, with loads of puddles, I didn't meet with any serious flooding.   
I noticed that the The Lammermuirs (Sooth side) were covered in snow;  which will probably be gone by tomorrow now that it has turned to rain.    Sunday is going to drier with gusty winds;  winds that will sook up some of today's rain!

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...
