Breezy with showers around ....


12th November 2018 (Monday) .... 08.30    Hmmmm .... it is bright and
Heavy shower clouds on the South side.
breezy, with heavy shower clouds on all horizons;  the question is, do I wash the new sheets?    It is a good drying day .... if we don’t catch a shower.    I’ll contemplate that over breakfast.    Showers are mentioned in the weather forecast;  I won’t do the sheets today, there’s a slightly better forecast for tomorrow..
It’s a braw morning for the beach ;  and Carol and I had the whole beach to ourselves.    The sunrise sky was bonnie... subtle at first, but blindingly orange after the sun was above the horizon. 

.... and towards the East.
The Peter Jackson film ‘They shall not grow old’, made from re-mastered original footage of the Great War and coloured is brilliant.  I watched it last night and  it is, indisputably, the nearest to what I imagine life in the trenches must have really been like.    Peter Jackson is a perfectionist and it shows in this film.  


19.30     When I went for the paper this morning I intended joining Jim and Myra for morning coffee;  this has to be in the ‘Deli Coffee Shop’ on a Monday and Tuesday as Harbour House is closed on those days.    I decided to move the car along to road a bit, couldn’t find a parking spot so thought I’d come back and moor up across from the kirk.    Not to be ..... when this car is pointing to the harbour, we go to the harbour:  .... and promptly forget about coffee.    So ... no coffee this morning;  which is maybe just as well because I caught up with some ‘ousework.... and got the exercise bike set up in the Hutte.

Dod was out on his bike in the afternoon and came in for a cuppa.  We sorted out the
Earlsferry at sunset.
world ... again.    He (Dod) didn’t have lights on his bike,  so left just as the sun was setting.     I noticed that the sky was colourful, which is good;  it means that I will get my sheets washed tomorrow.    In fact I could have done them today as we only caught the edge of a shower and it didn’t last long.    Tomorrow is forecast to be drier than today;   which, if it turns out so, will be both excellent.... and surprising.    In the meantime I’m going to turn up the heating; and make myself a cuppa.

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
