Breezy and wet ....

 31st December 2024 (Tuesday)   09.45 ....  "Strong winds and heavy rain" is the forecast for

'Glenfuir' flags.
our area  today, but, although it has been raining (all night by the look of it), it isn't raining now!   (That said it could start raining again).   As you can see by the way the Glenfuir flags are blowing it is windy;   not 'iggzactly' a morning for the beach but try telling dogs that!   The weather is going to 'improve' slowly (I'm hoping for sunny spells later) but it will turn colder with a Yellow Warning for snow for the hills of Fife tomorrow.   Methilhill, Aberhill etc., not Elie and The Royal Burgh!    

15.00    Just a quick update before I settle own in front of the tele .... for a catnap.  
The sunny spells arrived... actually they didn't;  bloo patches came over.... but the sunny spells were somewhere else.   Nevertheless the patches of 'bloo' brightened the day up, and I took advantage, and went up to the golf course for a short walk.  The golf course was 'Closed'  so no action photographs of golfers;  just general shots of the kind of afternoon we were having.   It was too windy for me going far (I intended trying for the Pony Field) but I enjoyed the air and the wee bit exercise.   

23.30    I watched the Rikki Fulton Centenary;  it was absolutely brilliant .... and brought back happy memories of the 'good old days'.   We still have most of the later Scotch and Wry'  on tape (and transferred onto DVD);  in fact I usually put one of them on at 22.30.   Didn't need to do that this year.

The weather seems to be quieter than it was forecast to be tonight, but maybe it's just a lull.    Tomorrow is to be wet and windy again!   Anyway I wish you all  "A  Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year".....  "Slainte Mhath" (Good Health).

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...
