Windy ....


16th January 2020 (Thursday)       10.00 .... There’s a brisk wind blowin’
Sunrise over Elie Bay.
so it’s cold when exposed to it..... like down on the beach.    It also spits rain now and again so the wee drop washing I have to do (most of the washing was done at Janice’s) will have to be done tomorrow .... or Saturday;  both days with better forecasts but also colder.   We have had a few sunny spells this morrrrrrrrning but mixed with spits and spots of rain.
I went to the beach to catch the sunrise and, as I said, it is cauld out in the wind.   Mark was out walking Achouk(?) and Dora walking Pat.... but the beach was quiet;  as you’d expect it to be at this time of year.   My immediate ‘plan’ is to take down the Christmas cards!     After another cuppa!

Chapel Green.

13.30   I had a turn round the ‘Centre of the Universe’ (on the bike) this morning, and everything appears to be where and as it should be:  apart from Chapel Green house which is in the early stage of being demolished so it, (Chapel Green House), soon won’t be where it used to be .... but it is going to be replaced by a new ‘Chapel Green House’.  
The bike is back in The Hutte and the battery is being charged up, hopefully for a longer run out either tomorrow or Saturday.
18.30    Moira took me up to Arncroach this afternoon to pick up the car so I guess I am well and truly back home after my Sussex ‘oliday.... with the car moored up at the door.   It has just started to rain at that time but it is now windy wet and cold;  not a
Chapel Green House.
bonnie evening:  I certainly won’t be doing any washing tomorrow morrrrning even though the rain is forecast to clear away by then.   Actually the ‘plan’ for tomorrow is to do a bit of vital shopping, visit Jim and generally get myself back into ‘my’ local routine.    I had got used to all the chit chat of “No 1”:  now I need to get used to being on my own again... sand nae chit chat.   I do have a load of photographs to sort out that ‘JB’ and I ‘took’ at Walton so I’ll make a start on that.   In the meantime I need another cuppa!

Overcast with light rain .....

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
