Bright and breezy ....

 

20th August 2020 (Thursday)     08.00 .... we have a ‘drying day;   and I have

some of washing on the line already, with sheets going through the machine as I type.    We had some rain overnight but not very much so it looks like being a bonnie but breezy day.... and the wind (F4) appears to be coming from the southwest just now.... the sea is running that way anyway.

I’m feeling brighter this morning, but I don’t intend falling asleep in the Hutte with the door closed again.... it gets too hot, and I end up with a serious attack of ‘the mauchless’.   Today is going to be a ‘rest day’, though I will get out on the bike by lunchtime.    Must ‘go’ slight flap on got a boiling kettle to sort out.

16.00    I had planned to go to Neil’s this morning (and the ‘paper shop’) on my way home from Kinneuchar.... but couldn’t go to either:  I forgot to take a mask with me.    Other than that I enjoyed my bike run.... and I met Stewart;  busy doing things to the boathouse just now.   I then completed my tour of the villages via The Terrace, South Street and Chapel Green:   I noticed a few showers around us but we have been lucky and they missed KY9;   the washing is dry so I am not bothered about showers now.   Thundery showers and brisk winds are forecast for tomorrow so doing the washing today was the right choice.

21.00    It has been a productive a productive day for 'the boy';  even did the ironing..... and some ‘ousework.    I’m thinkin’ that tomorrow might be a computer day if the showers that are forecast do come our way, and are frequent;  actually looks like it could be rain first thing in the morning.    Going for the ‘paper’ could be a car job

This has been an enjoyable day today with a mix of ‘work’ (not much) and play (a healthy amount).  Most importantly I didn't sit in The Hutte during the heat of the day to avoid can attack of the 'mauchless' (heat exhaustion).   I've been thinking.... KY9 is very lucky with showery weather;  they mostly miss us.    Long may it stay that way.

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
