Clearing sky after early rain ....


3rd March 2020 (Tuesday)    08.00 .... it looks like we’ve had a shower of
Dredger 'Bardera Segunda'  -  Anstruther harbour.
rain overnight but the sky is now clearing and I think we’re in for another pleasant day.   I have an appointment with the dentist this morning having lost a filling while eating a pear.   It was a hard pear .... and an old filling that had started to bother me a few weeks ago.     I should get a few photos of Anstruther today.... maybe even have morning coffee in the Fisheries Museum.   It all depends of what the dentist says... or does.

20.30   I have flattened the bike battery for the first time;   luckily I was only 200 metres from Ivy when the power ran out.... and it’s a hard pedal without any power.   I kinda suspected that I was being a bit ambitious when I set off for  Rires Farm.... with just over three and a half bars of power (there’s five in total).    Id got as far as
Balcarres House.
Balcarres House when I decided that Rires was out of the question:  I could have made it to Rires but it would have been a long and hard pedal home from ....  probably Kinneuchar.    The bike is now charging and I will have a full battery for tomorrow when Rires will again be the target.   Weather permitting.    I did come through Elie Estate again and found the road  really muddy today.... I didn’t think there had been very much rain, but going by the estate road there had been.

The dentist appointment went as expected and I a temporary filling with an appointment to get the proper one on Friday.  I got a few photos of the dredger that’s in Anstruther Harbour at present.... it wasn’t working... the tide was going out.  
The Colinsburgh to Kinneuchar road.
 
The stars are looking good tonight... Orion is always looks its best at this time of year.   It’s one of those clear nights that I used to enjoy taking the dogs out.   There could be a touch of frost first thing tomorrow morning.   
The ‘KY9’ weather forecast is good for tomorrow;  “Sunny intervals and a gentle breeze”, but not very warm.    I’ll go out on the bike after lunch time.   No other ‘plan’ for tomorrow... other than papers, morning coffee with the ‘Troops’ then out on the bike.   Right now I’m going to make a cuppa and have a game of Wii golf.

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...
