Heavy clouds with showers .....

10th August 2024 (Saturday)    09.00 .... I planned to wash  the shower towels this morning, but

the weather changed that plan;  tomorrow is going to be the 'drying day',  with a wall to wall 'bloo' sky and a light breeze.   Today's weather is disappointing (it's raining just now) but it should improve to give us sunny spells and showers.   After breakfast I'll run crawl round we' the 'oover.... but that's it.   This is going to be a 'rest day'.   There could be some interesting clouds later.

21.30    Once the cloud disappeared we had a really lovely, warm ad sunny day; the breeze kept the temperature just right.   Probably a bit cool if you were on the beach.   I didn't go anywhere;  spending most of the day watching the Olympics, doing some 'ousework and sleeping in front of the tele.   I'm reasonably active up till 14.00.... and after 17.00.



The shower towels are on the line already;  I could have done them today because the showers never came our way.   However I washed them this afternoon and they are on the line, ready for what is going to be a perfect drying day tomorrow.   I'm a happy boy.   In fact I'm a very happy boy!.... I found a bag, hanging on the front door handle, with a Selkirk Bannock  in it.   Donald (from the Borders) must be in the area;  and he knows that I love Selkirk Bannocks!

Pittenweem swimming pool....

20th September 2017 (Wednesday) ... 13.30    When I went along to Elie for the papers this morning, I got slightly diverted and ended up along at the old Pittenweem tidal swimming pool.  Pittenweem  swimming pool.    Unfortunately we have a, mostly overcast, with occasional spits and spots of rain, morning.     I must go back on a ‘bright and  sunny’ morning... this will show up the different colours of the sandstone rocks etc better.    It is an interesting spot, and would have been busy in the 1930’s , 40’s and 50’s.        20.30     My day has been spent pottering around Ivy... including baking a batch of wholemeal scones.    Note to self .... I must remember to freeze some of them this time;  rather than feed them to Blob and his pals.     It has been a grey and sometimes damp day;  not a day for bumbling about outside.    The ‘cold’ that I had last night didn’t come to anything.... I must have been tired after Solid infrastructure at Pittenweem swimming pool. my wand

Nice morning ....

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 lunch!   And it was a really good lun

Cold and overcast ....

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
