Hmmmm ... light rain


3rd October 2018 (Wednesday) .... 07.00    Oh .... it’s overcast with light
Earlsferry from Woodhaven car park.
rain just now, so no walk on the beach this morning.    The rain is forecast to be short lived, and for us to get some short sunny spells in the afternoon.... a nice morning for buying papers, and drinking coffee in Harbour House.     The air feels warmer this morning...and  there’s only a smirr of a breeze so no wind chill.    Pity about the rain.


20.30     ‘The Boy’ has been busy... and he is a tired one...’Boy’... tonight.    First of all  ... yes ... it was a nice morning for coffee in Harbour House, and we had a grand blether.   After coffee I went to Leven to do a small shopping.    The shopping didn’t take long and I was back in Ivy by 13.00.    I was asleep in front of the tele by 13.30.    However I didn’t sleep long today so the effects of the cortisone, and the flu jab, must be wearing off.   I woke up feeling refreshed and ready to do some work .... i.e. get organised for ‘JB’ tomorrow.

Elie Bay -  with feeding gannets.
The bedding has been sorted out:   and, because the sun was shining bright by this rime, I went to the skip at Woodhaven with a bag of paper etc.    At that time in the afternoon we had a really busy sky and, having a camera with me I photographed my way back home via the harbour and the Toft.   The gannets were diving just off the harbour and I did to get a few pictures, but I was using the Olympus, which is a good camera but the Canon is better for diving gannets.    I use the Canon set on manual most of the time.    There was a bonnie atmosphere this afternoon, and I did manage to get a few decent photos... in spite of the wind;  which had freshened to F5-6.

I had a walk to the beach at sunset time but the sun set behind low clouds, so the sky

wasn’t as colourful as I’d hoped it would be,... but bonnie nonetheless.    Living where we do we are surrounded by beautiful scenery, which looks different, and good, in any weather.    The problem is being out in adverse weather to admire the aforementioned scenery.

Our weather for tomorrow is, “breezy with sunny spells, and the chance of a shower later”.    Much the same as today it would appear.    I pick up John from Ferrytoll in the afternoon,.... so I’ll manage my morning coffee before I set off.

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
