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 f...

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 l...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
