Cloudy ....

15th December 2024 (Sunday)     09.45 .... It's cloudy with a SW breeze this morning .... and it's

warm.   Much warmer than is normal for December;  I'm not complaining!   All the Fife weather cams show a mostly cloudy sky.... but the Lochgelly one had a big patch of blue showing.   We might have a few sunny spells!   The wind is freshening and will be up around F7 in the afternoon and through the night.   I'm wondering if I should do a washing.

I'd hoped to feel like Spring lamb on steroids this morning, but feel more like a sloth on sleeping pills.   A mug o' coffee shod get me going.    I want to finish writing the cards today.

15.30    It has been a perfect day for writing cards, and the card writing mission has been done.   I'll hand in the Rotary ones tomorrow morning, and buy any bits and bobs I need for posting to sunny Sussex.   At long last I feel that my throat is on the mend.   I'll wear a mask when shopping, for the next few days, but I think it's beyond the spreading stage now.

The wins is starting to frisky and we're in for a wild night, with F8 or 9 wind speed at times.   Not a pleasant night.


19.30   There's a brisk wind just now, but it should begin to moderate about 21.00, and it will be a wee bit quieter overnight.   Although there's no  warning for wind overnight, there is one for rain.    It's not raining just now (I was oot at the bucket)  but it's forecasting 'heavy rain'.   Although very windy it isn't a cold wind.

'Sorley' .... he has his eye on something!
I've had  busy day finishing off the cards all I need to do id hand in the Rotary ones, post another three, and hand deliver the local ones.   I normally drink a lot of water, but  the sore throat made that difficult.   However my throat is near enough back to normal because I can drink water as I normally do.   I wonder if I can sing now?   I couldn't before! 

I'm looking forward to meeting 'Sorley' (and Mum and Dad) at Christmas;  by the the way he's lifting his head, he's going to be on the move soon.

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...
