Windy ....


23rd October 2018 (Tuesday) ....   07.30    It has been wild overnight ... the wind was at 49 mph (F9) for a while;  however, it is forecast to moderate by
Bright and breezy.  (So is the weather)
midday.     It will be ‘blawin’ a hoolie’ on the beach;  I might stay on the edge of the beach, in the lea of the dunes!    I’ve just had a thought .... it will be breezy roond the lugs if I get my hair cut today! 
       

08.30     Although it’s windy on the beach, .... it’ isn’t a cold wind;  my hands didn’t feel cold.    Mind you I wouldn’t try to build a sand castle.    It looks like we could be in for a bright and breezy day;   a brilliant drying day.    That reminds me;  I need to buy washing powder.


20.00    Jings ... washing powder isn’t cheap,;  that said,  the box I bought should last me for at least a year.   It cost £10 because there was some kind of deal on:   I don’t know what the original price was.    When I think of it £10 for a whole years worth of
The Beacon - Earlsferry.
washing is not bad,....  though it seemed expensive when I bought it.  
 
I had a good morning in Leven.   The car is booked in for a service.... on Monday at 09.00.      The hairdresser managed to fit me in for a haircut, so I have a set o’ lugs again;  and I managed to fit in a cuppa.... and a scone .... in Stuart’s.    Leven was a successful mission.... and I was a happy ‘boy’ at the end of it all.

In the middle of the afternoon I went up to Chapel Green (in the car) and had a short walk round to Chrissy Mills’ seat.   The tide was in, and the wind was very frisky so I didn’t hang about.    On the way back to the car I had a 10 minute rest on The Boss’s seat.    This was not my best move of the day.    Apparently I need matching things for the new bed:  I usually use whatever first comes to hand.    Matching stuff never enters into my heid!   Well it didn’t.... until this afternoon.


It’s breezy again tonight but not as wild as it was last night.... and it’s warm.
The beach this afternoon.
    Tomorrow is going to be another ‘bright and breezy’ day.   I don’t have anything ‘planned’..... but, there’s always plenty needing to be done around Ivy;  but that’s not what I fancy doing.    I know what to do .... I’ll go up for the paper(s) and have morning coffee in Harbour House... then I'll do things around Ivy..

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
