Misty .... and wet

2nd September 2024 (Monday)     09.15 .... There's been some rain overnight but most of the

Elie this morrrrrrning.

thunderstorms were out at sea off Crail;  the nearest lightning overnight strike was Kinneuchar direction.  The Yellow warning (for thunder) is active until midnight tonight, but the UK has no thunderstorms at this time.   The sky is heavily overcast and 'light rain showers with a gentle breeze', mixed with sunny spells is forecast for KY9.   There's no sign of sunny spells on any of the Fife Weather cams at present!

Everything was quiet when I went out to see what was happening;  not a single dog walker, nor jogger in sight!   I've devoured breakfast (I was hungry).... I'm thinkin' a mug of coffee is what I need now!

20.00     The Fife Weather cams are still showing overcast grey and wet looking, so the sunny spells must have been a figment o' my imagination.... or hope!    The thunderstorms went up the North Sea and are now North East of Aberdeen.   Though we've had light rain all day, at least we missed the thunder... and the heavy rain.  'Dreich' would be the best way to describe 'today'.


I went to Methil to visit Alice and  do my shopping.    We had a cuppa and a bit of Alice's 'clootie dumplin' before going to Sainsbury's.   I then suggested we have lunch out and we tried Agenda, but it was busy.  The Car Park was full so we ended up going to what used to be called the Shorehead Café, but the new owners have given it a new name;  'Hanarella'.     The café was busy food, and the food excellent.   I'm sure there was something else, but I've forgotten.




22.15    The wind has freshened and should shift the murky weather;  I'm looking forward to a bright and breezy day tomorrow.... and having my haircut!

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
