Hmmmm .... there's monochromatic look to the sky this morning


12th March 2019 (Tuesday) ....  08.30    The sky is... well ... mostly grey
Breakfast time!
this morning:  there is a sliver of clearness towards the Southeast, so it might all brighten up later.    There’s a Storm, going by the name of Gareth, coming in from the Atlantic...bringing with ‘him’ the gales we expect around equinox time.
I’m feeling friskier this morning... another few cuppas and an afternoon in bed again and I should be almost  with a bit of skittish added.    At this moment in time I’m going to have another cuppa, then ‘loup’ into the car to go and have some blood taken.    Slight ‘flap on’ this morning.

 11.30    Yes .... I am definitely feeling mair frolicsome today;  I’ve had blood taken, been for the paper, and even went to Barnett’s the Baker to buy a couple of goodies.    I looked for Geoff’s, and Myra’s buggies being moored up at either the Pav or the Deli
Kinneuchar this afternoon.
for morning coffee, but I drew a blank at both places.   Myra’s phone is permanently engaged so I can’t phone her.    I’m now at Ivy having my own ‘morning coffee’ after which I’ll do some work for the ‘Colinsburgh girls’.    There’s a blustery sleet shower passing over the Royal Burgh right now;   Methinks I’m unlikely to be going out again today.    I did go down to the harbour earlier.... not the warmest of places at any time .... definitely not the place to be today.
19.30     I did go out in the afternoon:   I took the car for a run, then went for a walk along the village and down onto the beach.    There was a strong wind  blowing;   Storm ‘Gareth’ starting to shift sand up the Breakwater etc.   Having said that it was fairly pleasant walking with the wind on my back.... it was a warmer wind than we had
Westward on The Ferry High Street.
in the morning.   

This evening we have another ‘meaningful’ vote re Brexit.    The MP’s voting once again for the same ‘deal’ that they first voted on three months ago.    As far as Theresa’s concerned she’ll just flounder on .... it’s “May or nay”.

Tomorrow is going to be windy with showers .... as Storm Gareth rumbles ‘his’ way eastward.

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
