Overcast but dry and still ....

Overcast .... but not raining.
and light showers later” is the forecast for KY9 today;  and, at the moment it is overcast....  with hardly a breath of wind.   I had hoped to see the sunrise this morning but the overcast sky stretched to the horizon so sunrise was hidden from view.  I’ll have a cuppa then get the bike out.


08.00    The bike I left in the Hutte, and I went to the beach instead... by way of hirpling'.     The beach was quiet.... only Marcia with the dogs, then the villages woke up and the dogs were out walking their owners all over the place.   It’s a nice morning for being out, but not ‘bright and sunny’;  in fact the sky looks quite threatening towards the West, but the showers aren’t supposed to occur until about midday.... and they are to be mixed in with ‘sunny spells’.   Could be a
The beacon - this morning.
bonnie enough afternoon.
 
The ‘Troops’ are still resting after wandering around Edinburgh all day yesterday.... so I don’t know what their ‘plan’ is for today.   I suppose it depends on what the weather is doing.    I’ll wait to see what they are doing before I formulate my ‘plan’ for today. 
  

19.00    I caught up with all the ‘news’ from Myra and Geoff at ‘arbour ‘ouse this morning;  but I’ve forgotten what it was.    The only one missing was George but Hector is up visiting him so they’ll be gallivantin’ aboot all over the place.
I haven’t done much today:  I made macaroni cheese for lunch/dinner.... getting things organised, and tidying up afterwards takes the time.   I was having a cuppa in the
Hmmmmm .... Janice outside Goodie Paradise!

Hutte when Shona appeared;  she had been at Ardross and dropped in on her way home so I made us a cuppa and caught up with her ‘news’:   there’s nothing happening at Kinneuchar.

Shona set off home before the rain, and I took Michael and Janice up to St Andrews.    The rain began as I was on my way home;  Shona would have got home dry.

KY9 is down for ‘long sunny intervals and a moderate breeze’ tomorrow:  it could be a good drying day.

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...
