Breezy and wet .....

7th December 2024 (Saturday)    08.30 .... It's not a "walk the beach with dog" morrrrrrrrrning; 

in fact it's not a walk anywhere morrrrning.   I'm vertical, and have been out as far as the pavement;  and quickly decided that I won't going anywhere with the camera;  unless it's in the car.   Which is unlikely.   For me it's going to be a stay in, stay warm and stay hydrated.   The wind should begin to moderate by mid morning ..., from F7  to F5.... and the rain become slightly lighter.   'Sunny spells'?.... we're two or three thousand feet from them!

11.15   The rain has stopped but it's still windy:  and said wind is sookin' up the puddles and drying the road.... and patio.  I'm surprised at how fast the water is lifting;  that said, it is a strong wind. Could we have a few brighter spells later in the afternoon?   Probably not.   The wind is forecast to freshen by evening time, and there's the chance of rain at any time.   

I've found the latest Christmas card list, so writing cards (to be posted) will be my mission for today.   I might go for  short daunder if the rain stays away and the wind moderates a wee bit.   The calendars I had printed are coming on Monday.   I'm looking forward to seeing the finished article... and apprehensive at the same time.

20.00    This has been a laz ...er... rest day for me!   I watched Simon Reeves in South America, and didn't fall asleep.   He delves into the history of the countries, and the problems the countries face countries face today ....  that is what I like about Simon Reeves.  I thought about going for a short walk, but the weather was never of the 'enjoyable' kind.  Thankfully Storm Darragh is moving away, and we should have a bonnier, and more peaceful, day tomorrow.   There will still be some wind but not like it has been today, and the rain will have moved away to give us sunny intervals;  it might even be a good drying day!   
I'm wondering if the weather will have put back  the calendar delivery date:  they are in the Princess Royal Distribution Centre (London).   The weather has caused disruption all over the road, rail and air, so there might be a backlog.   Anyway it's cuppa time!

21.00    It's 'orlicks time for 'The Boy'... and an early night in bed with my book.  The wind has freshened again, but should begin to moderate in an hour or so, and be much quieter by morning time!   I only got 4 photographs today ..... all 'wet look'  Ferry Road.   Looking forward to a more active day tomorrow;  and I don't mean the weather!

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...
