Early showers ....


17th December 2018 (Monday) .... 08.00    Hmmm ... we had an
Sunrise time.
unexpected shower of rain just as I was going to go to the beach .... so that has been put on hold.    The weather forecast has us down for ‘light winds and sunny spells’ later.... neither of the forecasts that I use mention rain.  




20.00   The early morning shower was the only shower we had;  in fact it has been  bonnie, and warm, most of the day.   It began to cloud over late in the afternoon.
Jim and I went to Leven as planned;  we both had business with the bank.   I managed to get more done than I’d expected, and I have only one transaction to do which I’ll do next month.   This is one happy bunny.    On the way home we went to Harbour House for morning coffee: the ‘troops’ had been, and nearly all gone,.... we arrived there just
'Cosy glow' beach.
as Geoff was leaving.    Jim and I had coffee, and a blether with Alan and Laura. 
  
 I was back home in Ivy by midday;  plenty of time to have a light lunch before going to May’s Thanksgiving service, in Kinneuchar kirk.  May was the wife of Robert, the organist at Kinneuchar, and she had been ill for a few years.    It was a beautiful service, with a poem read out by Morag a friend of the family... and the eulogy, written by Robert, and read out by the Minister, Reverend Jim Campbell, Interim Moderator of East Neuk Trinity Church), was full of ‘love’, and humour.   The hymns were of the ‘laldie’ kind;  even I was singing... sort of.    After the service we had sausage rolls, sandwiches, and goodies, served up by our lovely ‘kirk ladies’.   It was a perfect end to a beautiful thanksgiving service for a lovely lady.

After the service I went up to the garage at Colinsburgh to buy screen wash.    I’m
Late afternoon.
driving up to Ellon on Sunday and I need a full ‘squirter’ bottle for that journey, at this time of year;  and a bottle of emergency ‘squirter rations’ in the boot.

Tomorrow we have the Colinsburgh ‘Soup and Sweet’ lunch... so I don’t need to do much about food for tomorrow;  a bit like today.    I should finish my cards tomorrow;  the weather forecast for KY9 is ‘wet and windy’:   perfect weather  for doing cards.    The cards for posting have been ..... posted.

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
