Bright and breezy ....

8th June 2025 (Sunday)    09.30 .... It's a lovely morning; "sunny intervals with a moderate breeze"

is the weather forecast for KY9 today, but it's chilly out in the open;  and there's the chance of light rain showers.

Iain felt fine this morning so is now on his way home, in fact he should get back to Auchnagatt about 10.30.   I'm feeling much better, and will have a quiet day pottering around the garden.

15.30   Iain phoned to tell me that he has tested 'positive' for COVID;  so I'll be lying low for the next few days.   Strangely enough I have the beginnings of a sair throat, and have been dropping off the sleep at odd times (for me).  It wouldn't surprise me if I have the headache Iain had, tomorrow.   Luckily I had the COVID booster three weeks ago so, even if I do have COVID it will be mild.   One thing I don't have to worry about:  I have loads of food in.  Iain didn't eat very much yesterday.   Actually I'm hoping that I'm 'better' by Wednesday, because the Mobility Scooter is being delivered on Wednesday or Thursday.    

19.15    It has been a strange day for me;  I'd been looking forward to having Iain's company until midday, but he did the right thing driving home in the morning, when the roads would be quieter.    

I was going to put the 'bloo' bin out but, on checking the Fife Bin Calendar it's the Grey one this week : I was also going to put the 'Balvonie' blue bin out: The 'Blue' bins are next week.  

The lovely framework you see in the  photograph is the exact dimensions of the mobility scooter.   I can drive that through the front gate so the actual scooter should manoeuvre through it too;  once I get the hang of it.   

I think I have the 'bug' right enough;  I'll have to lie low for the next few days.

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 ...
