Overcast but dry ....


14th October 2018 (Sunday) ....08.30    It was nice on the beach this
Elie Bay.
morning, after yesterday’s rain, with a bonnie pre sunrise sky;   sunrise happened behind the clouds.  There’s cool, north westerly breeze, and the weather forecast is not bad... we should have sunny spells in the afternoon.     
I’m still feeling under the weather, but brighter than I was yesterday:  another quiet day ahead I’m thinking.

 16.30     After a day of pottering around sorting out ‘Maggie’s Office’ I was glad to see blue sky move over from the West about 14.00:  we now have a lovely late afternoon and evening.    I took a chance this morning and hung out bath towels;   they should be nearly dry when I take them in later.    In fact I might leave the towels out all night as the forecast is good for tonight and tomorrow.     The bedding is going through the machine as I type.... ready to hang out first thing tomorrow.    I’ve had a restful ‘day’,
Kinneuchar Station road.
which I intend ending quietly,... by going to the beach at sunset time.... which is 18.15.


21.30     We’ve had a beautiful end to Sunday... and we can look forward to a bonnie day tomorrow;  if the weather forecasters have got it right.

This afternoon I  took a load of paper stuff along to the re-cycling place at Woodhaven then went up to Kinneuchar to catch the sunset on the kirk.    I met Shona on the way home and we had a cuppa at Ivy.... and caught up with each others ‘news’.     Although ‘in love’... Shona is not yet married:  I’m sure that will happen soon.

I’m pleased with the work I’ve done in the ‘office’;  I actually surprised myself because
Sunset lit Kinneuchar kirk.
I didn’t feel ‘in the mood’ at all when I got up.    Tomorrow the plan is to dismantle the bottom bunk, ready to go to the skip at Pittenweem on Tuesday.

I left the towels out on the line.... and the bedding is ready to hang out first thing in the morning.    After I’ve been to the beach i.e.    I’m feeling much better tonight... and hope to feel back to ‘normal’ tomorrow:  normal enough to go out to ‘play’ for a wee while ... hopefully.

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
