Windy and colder ....

10th February 2020 (Monday)     07.00 .... Having been out as far as the
Elie Lighthouse this afternoon.
front gate I know that it’s windy...  it’s colder .... and, with sleet showers mentioned in the forecast for KY9 it looks like being a computer day for this boy.   I had thought of going to Kirkcaldy but there’s more chance of sleet/snow along there so that mission has been postponed until the weather clears up.
12.30    My word .... that was one wild sleet shower that rattled over;  I am glad that I didn’t go to Kirkcaldy.    I haven’t been ‘out’ yet .... not even as far as the car and that’s just at the gate.    I will go for a circumnavigation of the villages after lunch but I’m thinkin’ that any photographs I do take will be from inside the cosy car.   I have been working on the computer most of the morning..... and will do the same for most of the afternoon. 
18.00      It has been a wintry like day with wild and heavy sleet showers .... and it turned colder as the day wore on.    I went out in the car which isn’t the most exercise intensive way of getting around but I did have a walk down to the beach after I got
The beach this afternoon.
home.    Wild weather usually means interesting skies;  and that certainly was the caste today.... and it ought to be the same tomorrow ‘cos the forecast is for us to get .more of the same’.    That reminds me:   in the middle of the morning I ended up with what I call a ‘thundery headache’ but I didn’t think we got thunder at this time of year.    I looked up Lightning.org and lo and behold there has been lightning strikes all along the ‘sooth side, all the way to the West coast.... so;   thundery headache it was.    The headache cleared up after the lightning petered out off the Outer Hebrides.
19.30     I see that it’s snowing at Lochgelly;  snowflakes show up as white streaks
Nice sky over Earlsferry.
across the webcam picture.    Snow is forecast for more or less anywhere in Scotland overnight.... apart from our wee corner of Fife of course.    I don’t suppose I’ll be going very far again tomorrow .... it will be an ‘ousework and  computer day I’m thinkin’;   with a run out in the car to get the paper.

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
