15th August 2018 (Wednesday) .... 08.30    It looks like I won’t be biking

 to the Coffee Morning;   we have light rain, on a westerly breeze, at the moment.    However, the clouds are breaking up, and I can see blue bits so there is a chance of a ‘sunny spell’, or even two,....  but the forecast is for more spells of rain to move over us, so it looks like a mixture of sunny spells and rainy spells for us today.     Not a ‘drying day’.    

20.00    The weather has been unsettled today;  with short spells of rain.... one heavy shower.... and the sky is not very pretty at present, though it might not actually rain.     As it was spitting rain when I was about to leave to go to the coffee morning, I went in the car.

The Coffee Morning was quieter that I expected it to be.    Considering that the villages are full of ‘visitors’, this was slightly disappointing;   having said that, the  locals were there ‘in force’, but it would have been good to see some ‘strange’ faces in the Hall.

 It  felt good being ‘back’ in the ‘CM’ groove again.  

Nothing is happening anywhere in the whole of Trinity territory.    Oh I tell a lie;   there was an accident in Main street Colinsburgh this morning... this information came from my “Colinsburgh TSRR”.     (TSRR? .... you can’t have forgotten already;  Top Secret Roving Reporter).   I must remember to tell Sheila that she is my ... oops ... no longer a secret!

I went back to Ivy and had a light lunch before going along to Leven to do a Sainsbury’s shopping.    The shop was quiet;  but at that time it was sunny .... and hot.     I was not comfortable in the heat, and was glad to get back to Ivy.
George arrived just as I finished packing the messages away, so we had a cuppa and a

piece of Lemon Drizzle cake.    The Drizzle cake I bought at the ‘CM’, along with a Ginger Bread.    You always get fabulous home baking at our coffee mornings.    George has had his bike ‘renovated’ by ‘Two Wheels’ from Peat Inn.    The bike is like new again.

The weather forecast for tomorrow is ‘good’ (mostly) so I have done a washing to be put out on the line first thing.   Depending on how good , “good (mostly)” is, I might do some painting.

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 friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

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

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
