Misty and warm ....


26th June 2020  (Friday)     06.30 .... it’s misty and humid;    not the maist
Looking towards Earlsferry from The Toft.
exciting looking morning.... and there’s yellow warning for heavy thundery showers, from midday through to tomorrow at 09.00.    There are already lightning strikes in Northwest of England and the Southwest of Scotland so it looks like the thundery showers will reach us as per forecast.   Orf to get the paper.


08.00     The fog is thicker than I thought at first.... a nice enough morning otherwise.   I changed my mind and took the car up for the paper (thought it needed a run);  the bike will be staying in The Hutte today I’m thinkin’ because it looks like rain isn’t far away and I started the morning with a migraine.
The beach at 09.30.

 11.00     I’ve been out on the bike (which is now being charged).... only round the villages to get a few foggy’ photos, but it was enjoyable, having met and talked to Anne (Dunlop) on the way along Liberty then Steve at the harbour.   The thunder has been ‘put back’ to evening time.   I was going to say that I have a thundery headache but, I’ve just remembered, that will be the migraine and not the weather.  (I’ve taken a couple of pills so I’ll fall asleep in the Hutte).   The earlier thunder storms over Glasgow way have all faded out.... so we could have a nice, but possibly misty, afternoon.
14.30     The bike is fully charged and I fancy going out but there’s been one lightning
After the rain.
strike in the Star of Markinch area so that idea was short lived.    There’s a thunderstorm moving towards Edinburgh from the Galalshiels but thunder isn’t supposed to reach Fife until the evening.   I’ll have a cuppa then check the Lightning site again.

16.30   We had a couple of rumbles of thunder with lightning strikes in Largo Bay and Largoward and a spell of heavy rain.... but the rain has stopped and the sky is clearing.   I’ll have a wander to the beach to how the clouds are;  and how busy the beach is.


The hole.
21.00    When I went out intending to go to the beach I had a sudden change of ‘plan’, ....there’s a big hole been dug in Ferry Road and holes  need to be looked at;  so I ended up going for a walk on the golf course and to get there I had to pass the hole.   It’s a good hole;  I’ve seen deeper holes, but this one is interesting nonetheless.   I browsed it (the hole) then wandered up to the Pony Field and along the top of the quarry.   Everything looked fresh after the heavy rain, the sky was busy and I was content.

Mixed weather forecast for tomorrow so it’s unlikely that I’ll get out biking.... however I have other things to do

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...
