Warm and sunny ....


30th May 2020 (Saturday)     06.30 ....  it’s a nice morning but there is a
Social distancing marked out - a sign of the times.
breeze from the northeast so no mirror like water this morning.   Although it is warm already  it isn’t going to be as hot as yesterday but, with the UV levels being ‘high’, it is a sun cream day.


08.00    There’s a nice cool air today....definitely a morning for me pottering around the garden.    I’ve been for the paper and had a short run down towards the harbour but that was all;  I might go out later depending on how busy the roads are.   Things are ‘almost back to normal’ with the beach being busy yesterday, and will be again today with the forecast being ‘good’:  the roads are definitely busier.    Now that I have milk I can have breakfast.

Mixed up clouds this morning.

16.30    With a Force 4-5 wind coming off the East it has been much colder than yesterday;  but it has been warm in the garden sheltered from the aforementioned wind.   I have enjoyed doing a wee bit of work including washing the bathroom, kitchen and lobby floors.... pulling the odd weed, and hanging out a washing;   and dreaming in The Hutte.   I might get the bike out and take a turn round ‘The Ferry’ later but only if the wind moderates a bit.
Going by the number of vehicles going up and down Ferry Road the village(s) must be busy;  there does seem to be more folk walking about.   It’s now, when lockdown is being eased that we ‘older’ folks will have to be very careful re the two metre ‘rool’ and washing our hands after being out..... especially if people use the Dominic Cummings Interpretation of the ‘Rools’... and come from further afield.
20.00    The wind has moderated slightly but there’s haar blowing in from the sea and
South Street - Elie.
it’s cold so the bike is in The Hutte for the night.... and I am in Ivy.   The haar is mostly up towards Kinneuchar and Colinsburgh.   I’ve had a satisfying day I feel that I got the mix of work and play just about right.... and it hasn't been too hot.
Geoff and I are going to Myra’s for ‘morning coffee’ tomorrow;  sitting outside and keeping to the two metre rule.   It will be good to take part in a ‘troop chat’;  its a long time since we had one of those.   Haar is an afternoon/ evening thing so it should be fine at 10.30.

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
