Warm ... but windy


30th December 2018 (Sunday) .... 10.00    I had a change of direction
Mmmmm... this photo needs someone sitting on the seat!
for my walk this morning. Up to, and round, the Chapel Green, then home by way of the beach .... a total distance of 2.63 kilometres (1.63 miles);   with a lot of short stops to rest the knee.   It’s a nice enough morning for a walk;  breezy with a lot of cloud.... but it’s not a cold wind, although it does take a few degrees off what would be an unseasonably warm day for this time of year.

 19.00    It has been mostly cloudy today, but dry;   a good day for doing things.    I did the ironing, a wee bit of ‘ousework, and a big bit of pottering around on the computer; everything bar the stuff I’d ‘planned’ to do.

 
Earlsferry from the third tee area... half an hour before sunset.
In the middle of the afternoon I went up to the Pony Field to catch the sun setting over Largo Bay, but it wasn’t the most exciting sunset.    However, 20 minutes after sunset, the western sky was ablaze:   a sign that we should have a bonnie day tomorrow.... and I got an ‘Earlsferry High Street at sunset’ photo.   Tomorrow’s weather is forecast to be a repeat of the weather we had today:  so much for the ‘red sky at night’ etc.   

I’m tired after all the walking I’ve done, and will spend the remainder of the evening watching the tele, working on the laptop.... and probably cat napping.   It will be interesting to see how my knee is tomorrow:  I have shown it no mercy today, and suspect that it will ‘show me no mercy’ tomorrow.

The villages are busy but not as busy as I expected them to be.    I’ve no doubt they will
Earlsferry sunset.
fill up tomorrow.   I lie to see the visitors, and their dogs, enjoying the beach, the golf course,... and just bumbling around the villages:   they, the visitors, appear come from all over the UK, going by the car registration numbers.  

 I don’t have any plans for tomorrow;  so I’ll just play it by ear.   Actually, I might do some of the work in the garden that I’ve been threatening to do.   
Ye gods.... I fell asleep in front of the laptop;  I need a cuppa.    I’ll go and put the kettle ‘on’ then do this update.

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
