Overcast and windy ...


31st December 2018 (Monday) .... 09.00    It’s cloudier and windier this
Busy beach.
morning and, yet again, warm for the time of year .... but the wind is taking a few degrees off the temperature.   At least it’s dry.
I haven’t been out for a walk yet;  the main reason for that being that sunrise will be hidden by the cloud layer.... and the wind is frisky.    I might wander up to Elie for morning coffee at 10.00.


09.10     Jings ....it isn’t as overcast as I thought it was;  I cleaned my specs!


21.00   It has been windy all day ... therefore colder.    I walked to Elie for morning coffee in Harbour House, and to buy a paper.   As long as I have frequent stops I can travel reasonable distances, albeit painfully.   There are people who can’t walk at all so
Moody sky.
I consider myself lucky to be as mobile as I am.  Anyway let’s forget aboot the sair knee:  it was good to meet up with ‘the troops’ again after the Christmas break.   We all enjoyed time with our families;  and look forward to doing it all again next year.    Next year? .... 2019 has already started in some parts of the world... and will be ushered ‘in’ here, in four hours or so.   The villages have filled up with people wanting to ‘bring in’ the New Year. 

After morning coffee I walked home by way of the beach;  my word... it was fresh down there;  and busy.  It was very scenic:  If beaches could be happy, I think our beach would have been happy today.    As is my wont I managed to get some decent photographs of a living, happy beach.

Since then I have pottered about with the laptop, and watched ‘War and Peace’
Vaushall Velox (1960).
(Tolstoy) on the tele.   In fact I’m watching it yet, and have been typing this update during the adverts.

Tomorrow is forecast to be less windy, with some sunny spells.... but, the temperature is going to start dropping and we should have frost on Wednesday morning.    I have ‘nae plans’ for tomorrow, apart from getting ‘up and out’ early for a bumble round the village.

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
