Dreich ....


1st November 2019 (Friday)      07.00 .... Mmmmm ... it’s cauld and wet
Mmmmm .... not the perfect weather for the beach.
as per weather forecast;  a real dreich morning.     I am feeling considerably brighter than the weather and looking forward to morning coffee in ‘arbour ‘ouse..... then spending the rest of the day mostly working on the computer, and doing Soduko’s.    I might bake Melting Moments..... baking and sampling 'MM's is always a cheering occupation on a dreich day.


09.00   The sky to the West is showing promising changes in greyness;  could we be in for a few bright spells?   “Light rain showers and a gentle breeze” is the forecast for today.... but a bright spell would be very welcome.   I haven’t been anywhere further than the pavement when manoeuvring the bucket into its ‘ready for emptying’ position.  I’ll have another cuppa then ‘loup’ into the car and go up to Elie for the paper.... and morrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee.

15.30     Ye Gods .... it has been a bleak afternoon... and it looks like being so for the rest of the day.     However the forecast for tomorrow is improving with the mention of sunny spells.  I did enjoy morning coffee with the ‘Troops’;  George was missing but he will most likely be in the state of being ‘in love’.   I had a run down to the harbour but there wasn’t much happening down there;  it’s been that kind of day.    I pottered about on the computer, had ‘50’, did a Soduko;   and not very much else.  The ‘plan’ was to go to Leven at some point but I decided to cancel that plan;   however I did go up to Colinsburgh to put fuel in the car.   That’s when I changed the ‘plan’:  when I found that it was even wetter at Colinsburgh than it was at Elie and Earlsferry.
Damp morning.
19.00    I’m not saying that it’s really really dreich just now;  but the morning was the best part of the day as far the weather went.... and it was drab.    My word it is miserable this evening:  I had to go out to put something in the bucket.    I would say that a cuppa would be a good idea but I already have one.  

‘Nae plan’ for tomorrow; the weather dictates what we, do on a daily basis (in Bonnie Scotland) at this time of year .....it is so changeable.   The forecast is not great but we should get sunny spells after a wet start to the morning.   It looks like being a good morning for staying late in bed.

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
