Lovely morning ....

23rd May 2025 (Friday)    08.30 .... The early morning cloud is rapidly being burnt back, and we

should have a lovely sunny (and warm)  day by morning coffee time:   I'm have morning coffee at 09.00!   I haven't been further than the pavement so far.   I might try to go to the beach, as the air is breathable .... with the pollution level being 'Low' just now.   I imagine the traffic will build up in the afternoon.   Must 'go' .... 'slight flap on';  got to have early morning coffee! 

16.45    I had a walk up to the golf course in the middle of the day;  as you can see from the photographs the course is in need of rain.  This Spring has been a dry one so far, but that's due to break tonight with much needed rain coming  in.   That reminds me.   Which clever boy watered patio flower tubs about half an hour ago?  This clever 'boy'.  You wonder why?.... in case I got wet doing it in the rain.   As I've said before;  it's hard work bein' 'me'!    At least  I won't have to water them tomorrow.

It was really nice when I was up at the golf course:  hardly any breeze so it was reasonably warm.   Since then the wind has freshened and it's quite chilly out in the open.   Actually there has been a chill in the air all day, which why I hirpled up to the golf course, instead of going out on the bike.   The course was quiet, but it was lunchtime. 

20.00    The Western sky is starting to look threatening; with the rain due to arrive in the next few hours.   The heaviest rain will be during the night.


I've had a reasonably active day doing things around the house;  and conversing with 'Blob'.   He's good listener, but I'm glad 'Blob' doesn't speak!   

I've just been talking to Michael  and Janice (Uckfield).  Janice has been in hospital for a few days after
collapsing at home.   Luckily Michael my son) was able to give her CPR and get her breathing again, while  Michael (Janice's son)  phoned the Emergency Services.   I was actually talking to Janice on the phone and, thankfully,  she sounded good, and gets home tomorrow.   I'm going to make myself a cuppa!

22.30    I calmed down after the above mentioned cuppa;  and my bedtime Horlicks.   The rain arrived on schedule and I won't have to water the tubs tomorrow!   And the golf course should look greener in  a day or two!

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...

4th January 2024 (Saturday)    09.15 .... The car windscreens is clear, the washing I left out Shona huggin' a huge Kilbrackmont tree! overnight is flapping about in the breeze, and my breathing easier.   The sky is mostly cloudy just now, but our weather forecast for today is "sunny intervals with a gentle breeze".    There's a Yellow Warning for snow active from midnight tonight through to midday on Monday;  though I imagine it will more likely be sleet, or rain,  for us.   'Sunny Sussex' and most of the South of England is covered by an Amber Warning for snow today, so most of the UK is likely to see snow at some point over the next few days. 20.00    Although not the best of drying days the washing was nearly dry by the end of the afternoon.   Earlier in the afternoon I'd gone to Methil to annoy Alice.  We had a cuppa before going shopping.  We went to Sainsbury's they have 'everything' and are trying ...
