Cool breeze ....

    
6th April 2020 (Monday)      07.30 ....  well it isn’t raining but the clouds are
Breezy morning.
gathering in the West and lumbering our way  so it looks like the light rain, that was forecast for early this morning, might yet arrive;  however all is not lost .... there are big patches of ‘bloo’ in the sky too and   It is 11c in Ivy garden;  that said, the wind has freshened in the last hour so it will feel cold on the beach.    The main news this morning? ..... I sneezed about two minutes ago;  it will be a toddie for my bedtime drink tonight.   Oh ... the ‘Royal Burgh’ has worldwide ‘fame’ thanks to the Chief Medical Officer having her holiday second home in the village and being silly enough to visit it while the UK it under ”stay at home” rools’.    Dr Calderwood has resigned as Chief Medical Officer of Scotland;  now the holiday home owning fraternity of the UK will be rubbing their hands thinking that there will be a holiday home coming on the market soon in Earlsferry.   Even under the Coronavirus pandemic ‘life goes on’.

Sea Tangle road.
09.00    We have ‘bright and breezy’ day now and it is cold in the wind (F5) so the bike won’t be coming out though I will go for a walk later.    It’s a good drying day so I’m going collect enough stuff to do a wee washing... then potter around between the garden and The Hutte.
21.00    It was too windy for me to go biking so I went for a walk on the golf course.... across to West Bay then home by Chapel Green and the beach.  It was a nice day for a walk but I did get caught by the edge of a shower on the beach.   I met Elaine out with her dog, then Margaret and David (Bowers) out for their exercise.   Everybody seems to be exercising though most of the people I meet are strangers;  which is frustrating because you can’t strike up a conversation with someone you don’t know at three metres range.    It’s been a bonnie enough day but
Kincraig Cliffs.
colder than I expected it to be.    Tomorrow we our area is forecast to get up to 13c.... in ‘Sunny Sussex’ they will be sweltering in 23c.
I didn’t do very much work stuff today;  my day just flies past doing wee bits around Ivy Cottage, going out to take a few photographs;  and ‘playing’ with said photographs.   At the end of every day I am totally shattered so I’m doing something to get me tired.     I do have a long day right enough,  though I usually manage to have ‘50’ at some time of the day.... usually in The Hutte.    I haven’t sneezed again today;  but I’m going to have a toddie just in case.

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
