Heavy showers .....


28th May 2019 (Tuesday) .... 09.00   A couple of heavy showers passed over
Evening sunshine on Grange Road Earlsferry.
in the past hour, so everything is wet and the sky doesn’t look promising:  however the rain is due to move off to the southeast leaving us with long sunny spells by midday(ish).    Bring on the sunny spells!    I fancy a coffee .... and not one of my own making.    I wonder where Myra and Geoff are having coffee today?


14.30     You’re not going to believe this, but it is absolute fact (nae ‘fake news’ on the Hutte)..... that the Coalton of Balgonie Post Office has a Fisher and Donaldson Bakery section and it sells their specialty;   Fudge Doughnuts!     Let’s be honest the Coalton Of Balgonie is not the kind of place you visit on a regular basis, it’s more of a ‘pass through on the way to somewhere else’ place;  which it was for me today as passed through it on my way to Leslie Bike shop in Glenrothes.     I spotted the Fisher and Donaldson sign on the way to the Bike Shop, and decided that I’d stop there on the way home.
Fidra Light house.
The ‘Leslie Bike Shop’ was originally in the nearby paper making town of Leslie, but moved to bigger premises in Glenrothes a few years ago.   My reason for going to Glenrothes was because I wanted a mirror for the e-bike , and the easiest way for me to get to the Bike Shop is via the Coalton Of Balgonie.    Anyway I bought a mirror, and had a look at rack bags but they were smaller than I thought they’d be.   OI want one that’s big enough to carry some camera stuff.
By the time I got back to Leven it was lunch time (12.30) so too late to visit Jim... so I did a wee shopping instead, arriving back home at 13.20.
20.00     It was cauld on the hands when I went out on the bike after dinner:   I only
The Bass Rock.
went as far as Chapel Green, though I had planned to go further.    We’ve had a bonnie afternoon and evening;   there’s been some big shower clouds but we missed the actual showers.    They were mostly towards the west of Fife and Edinburgh.    The ‘Sooth Side’ was clear so I got a few photos of the Bass Rock etc.  

Tomorrow is definitely ‘Colinsburgh Lit Bite Lunch’ day;   I know this because Myra left a message on the answer machine.   I plan to be there.

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
