Overcast and wet ....

1st December 2024 (Sunday)    09.00 .... The sky is heavily overcast, with occasional spells of

light rain;  not a bonnie start to December.... but it's warm and there's only a light breeze.   It would be a good morning for going out on the bike, if the rain moves away.    I went for the paper but, as it was raining at the time, didn't go down to the harbour.   

I have stuff to do on the computer today so, unless the sun breaks through, the weather won't bother me.  If the sun does come through I'll go round The Ferry on the bike.   That's the 'plan for today.  I'll begin my activities with a Cappuccino..... and a quick look at the paper.

19.30    The sun broke through after my early morning coffee.... and it was warm with very little wind;  perfect biking weather.    I went round The Ferry, then up to Elie, taking photos on the way.   I came across holiday makers wandering around he villages;  and some of them even went in for a dook.   I don't think this is a holiday weekend, but it almost looked like it was.

Jock came by when I was taking photos at The Toft!   We chatted about our ailments; and decided that we were doing alright, considering we ain't frolicsome lambs now.  And haven't been for a while!   Jock headed off for the lighthouse and I thought about going to the harbour but the road was busy with pedestrians and cars.  I took more photographs then pointed the bike towards th Royal Burgh and home.   

It's brilliant being mobile again.  I expected to be stiffer having been off the bike for nigh on 4 months.   So far my legs have coped fine.   That said I do have a battery on the bike.   That reminds me; I must charge it tomorrow. If the weather is OK  I'll go biking again tomorrow.   We're forecast to have some heavy rain overnight, but it's supposed to clear away by mid morning.   I'll strip the double bed and make it up in the morning;  then wash the bedding on Tuesday.   I'm going to move back to the front room for the winter.   That means I also have the single bed to strip ;  so I need a few good drying days!    I feel tired at the thought of all that work!

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...
