Light cloud with drizzle .....

23rd July 2025 (Wednesday)    08.00 .... It's not a good drying day;  the sky is cloudy with drizzle

Leven Station
blowing in a light breeze.    That said .... it's a nice quiet morning and the pollen count is low. Unfortunately the pollution level will be 'M'.   'Me'? .....  I'm a "happy boy" because I did all the washing yesterday.... and we will have sunny spells in the afternoon!    "Light cloud with light winds" is the KY9 weather forecast;  the same as London!   It's breakfast time;  after which, I'll finish off Michael and Janice's room.

09.00    I've had a migraine which is a bit o' a bummer, but I've taken the pills and having another cuppa before I wrestle with the downie.   Although damp it's a nice morning;  and the sky shows signs of brightening up now and again, but the Fife Weather cams are all showing 'misty'.   Must 'go' slight "Flap On" this morrrrrrrrrning.

22.00    'The Boy' (that's me) has been busy today.   Michael and Janice arrived at Leven Station (bang on time) off the 17.15 train.   They were an hour later than originally planned because of a hold up on the line into London ....from Uckfield  in Sunny Sussex.   Apart from that, the journey was uneventful.

Prior to going to Leven to meet them off the train I had sorted out their bedroom.... and made up the bed.  And I did inserted the downie intae it's cover without havin' tae crawl aboot inside the cover.   Us 'mature' people have to learn to adapt and I have done that wi' the downie.  The downie is the worst part of making up the bed.

Janice and Michael are away for a walk 'roond the villages'.   A wee while ago the door bell rang:  it was Ethel and Doug plus some of their family who arrived in Elie and Earlsferry today.      They didn't come in as they were on their way 'home' (the Toft) from having  food at the 19th Hole.   I don't know if they will 'bump' into Michael and Janice, who will most likely end up at 'The Ship Inn'.

As most of you will know I don't enjoy driving with the roads being so busy.   Anyway today I was on my

way to Leven, coming up to the blind corner just East of Upper Largo when a someone, in a VW, came tearing up and overtook me, just as a van came round the corner, he cut in in front of me, I braked and the numpty got in, just averting one serious accident.   Not only did he do that;  he did the same with the next car, just as as he was going into Upper Largo.  I got the feeling he was in a hurry.   He was two cars in front of me when we got to Scoonie roundabout.

Overcast with light rain .....

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...
