Overcast ... but dry ....


28th February 2019 (Thursday) ....  09.00   Hmmmm ... I was enjoying ‘wall to wall sunny Sussex’, but , as was forecast, that has all changed this morning , and now we have ‘wall to wall overcast Sussex’ .... in fact it could be ‘wall to wall overcast UK’.  At least it isn’t raining.     As you’d expect it is cooler , and there’s a light wind;   all a bit disappointing after the past couple of weeks, though it is still warmer than it should be for this time of year.   The last couple of weeks have been exceptionally warm/hot;  and enjoyable.


19.00    It may well have not been raining when I wrote the above update.... but it has been a mix of Scotch Mist and rain on and off for most of the day, with a few short sunny spells  in between.   ‘JB’ and I went to Eastbourne, where the weather was slightly better than inland.    We did the shopping, had food in our favourite Italian Restaurant, then went to ASDA’s for a few messages, before going for a run along the coast road to Norman’s Bay.... and somewhere else further along that road.    The weather was at its best at this time.

Tomorrow we travel to Somerset for Emily and John’s wedding on Saturday;  it’s a pity that the weather has broken down;  we could get rain showers on Saturday.    I won’t be taking the laptop with me, but will have the camera, so there will be plenty wedding pictures on Sunday evening.    We drive home on Sunday.

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
