Feeling productive ....


6th January 2019 (Sunday) ... 10.00   I’m feeling excitable this morning...
The Peat Inn to Largo road.
and have the urge to go somewhere.   Unfortunately it’s not a morning for doing that, being overcast, with everything wet after overnight rain.   The weather forecast doesn’t mention ‘sunny spells’ but  our villages are full of ‘sunny spells... and rays of sunshine’;  I’m sure to bump into a few sometime today.   It’s only the sky that’s overcast.   Right now I’m going to have breakfast;  I went back to bed after I looked out first thing (06.00) and didn’t surface until 09.00.


10.30    The sky is breaking up and we have big blue patches;  I’ll go for a walk after ‘morning coffee’ ... by way of a Flat White sachet. 
 
The north side of Largo Law from the Peat Inn road.


14.30    I set off to go up to Tayport Harbour after the morning coffee, but when I got to the top of Ferry Toad and saw the mist and greyness beyond the Balcarres ridge I decided that Tayport was not a good idea.   As I was out in the car anyway, I went up to Largoward then down the Peat Inn to Largo road;   a road I haven’t been on for a while.    It’s a bonnie run, but not really so on a damp, and by this time grey, morning.     The blue patches were short lived;  having been swallowed up, within an hour, by the, seemingly invincible, grey cloud.   I’m back in Ivy, and have been for a couple of hours.   We have heavy Scotch Mist now;   it’s dreich.

20.00    I felt excitable at the beginning of today, but the weather has prevented me from doing anything exciting.   I’d hoped to go for a walk this afternoon;  in fact I
Kinneuchar this morning.
thought of going for a walk round the village half an hour ago, but it’s raining.    I’ll just have to walk tomorrow ... and eat less. 
  
Our ‘News’ is back on the single ‘Brexit’ track so that’s boring:  the only ‘deal’ on offer is the one that Mrs May, our Prime Minister came up with:  that and some vague promises.   The MP’s vote on it (the Deal) next week.

Thankfully it’s going to be windy tomorrow;   the wind should blow the clouds away.... showers and sunny spells would be welcome.   The weather dictates what I do just now so I can’t ‘plan’.   This is not good as my daily life depends on having a ‘plan’.    Keeping to ‘the plan’ doesn’t matter.... but I enjoy making them.

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
