Dreich morning ....


20th February 2020 (Thursday)       08.00 .... oh dear... we have a dreich
The harbour this afternoon.
start to the morning;  and it looks like it has been raining all night.    However the rain is should clear away in a few hours and we will be inundated with ‘sunny spells’... albeit cold ones as the temperature is not going to climb very far up the thermometer today.    In fact sleet/snow showers has been mentioned for higher ground.   That usually means interesting clouds.   I must remember not to get ‘diverted’ as I am going to visit the ‘Colinsburgh girls’ in the afternoon.  


20.30    I enjoyed my afternoon with the ‘Colinsburgh Girls’:  we had a look at a few photographs on the laptop, chatted over a cuppa, scones and cake and I passed a cold afternoon in comfort with the lovely ‘Colinsburgh Girls’..  
The weather brightened up around midday but it did turn colder when the sky cleared;  we also had a few heavy sleet showers.   Tomorrow is forecast to be windy and wet .... I’m looking forward to Saturday.
   
A heavy shower heading my way!
The computer is ‘offline’ during the daytime just now, due to work being done to upgrade us to ‘Super Fast Fibre’;  this should happen by 24th April.   I got the new ‘hub’ from BT a couple of weeks ago all now I’m looking forward to being connected.
I have no plan for tomorrow;  but with the weather forecast we have for tomorrow, it could be a good morning for me to visit Jim.... after morning coffee.    There’s a brisk wind blowin’ just now.... I’ve been putting the bucket out.    I also put the kettle ‘on’ .... now I need to find something to watch on the tele.   I’ve been watching ‘The Last of the Summer Wine’.   When it first came out way back in the 80’s I think.... it was on for 30 minutes and that included the adverts:   now it’s on for 45 minutes with the extra 15 minutes being taken up by extra adverts.    I don’t watch the adverts; they’re puerile.

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
