Overcast ... but warm


20th October 2018 (Saturday) ....08.30    it is warm this morning.... in
Sunrise time .... bonnie in adiffereny way to yesterday's.
fact it was warm overnight.   The sky is overcast, and the breeze has freshened since I was on the beach... but it’s nice enough morning;   and the sun should break through later.    I don’t feel in a paper shredding mood this morning .... more of a ‘wanting out to play’ mood;   I'll make my mind up over breakfast.


14.30    I’ve been a reasonably ‘busy boy’, having shredded a few bit of paper;  and been for the paper and morning coffee.    The weather has been mixed;  from light ‘Scotch Mist’ through to odd spells of sunshine.    We’re having a sunny spell just now so I’m going out to play.

Earlsferry from the east Links.

19.38    ‘Play’ turned out to be a walk on the East Links;  this usually takes me about 45 minutes at the speed I ‘walk’ at nowadays.... and the ‘sunny spell’ didn’t last long.    It was a bracing walk to say the least;  but plenty people were out there, enjoying a walk in the fresh air.... of which there was an abundance ... and the scenery.    The sky was busy with clouds and the occasional blue bit, so the ambience was ever changing;  I enjoyed the walk, in spite of the cold wind.... that said, I was glad to get back to the car.

Back at Ivy I quickly made myself a cuppa, browsed the photographs I’d taken on the east Links, looked at the paper shredder.... and played a couple of games of Wii golf.   The exercise warmed me up in nae time.    I decided that I wouldn’t go out again today;  but I did.... to fill the bird feeders.   The Ivy hatches are now battened and I am settling down to play with today’s batch of photographs.

I did watch Prince Harry opening the Invictus Games in Australia;  I like Prince
Part of 'The Terrace', Elie from East Links.
Harry’s style of “Royal-ness”.    He must have connections with the ‘Royal Burgh’.
At the moment I don’t have a ‘plan’ for tomorrow;  it is Sunday and I could go to the kirk, but by the time 11.00 arrives I’m usually off on some other mission.   I’ll see what the weather is like in the morning.    I think it is suppose to be, more or less, a repeat of today’s weather.

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
