Overcast but dry ....

 

24th August 2020 (Monday)      06.30 .... Hmmmm ..... the sky is overcast, with

Kinneuchar Station.
 a ‘low chance of precipitation’ in the earlier part of the morning (now).... however, there are some small ‘bloo’ holes appearing from the Northwest.     The sun cream is on ‘standby’;  however, I’ll go for the paper later.... just in case there is an early morning spell of damp stuff. 

16.00    I enjoyed a latish morning ‘paper run’.... (forgot to go for the paper) .... up Ferry Road, through Elie Estate, down to Elie Harbour, then along to Chapel Green via The Toft, The Terrace , South Street and the Breakwater, taking a lot of photos ‘cos there was a lot going on,  and a bonnie ‘light’ with an interesting sky.    I met (and talked to a lot of people, including Lindsay who was on his ‘morning run’ round the villages.   All is well at the Centre of the Universe.

Since then I have;  what have I done?     Well I ate food, had a couple of cuppas, fell asleep while solving another Poirot’ mystery.... and generally had a good rest.   Now I am well ready to go out to play.

There’s a yellow warning of Easterly gales with heavy rain for KY9 tomorrow;   if that’s the case, it will be a computer day for this boy.    And I was looking forward to working in the garden!

Aboyne Home Guard - 1940.
21.00    We’ve had a bonnie evening though I have just seen the weather forecast and it is not nice .... definitely a computer day for ‘the boy’.    Tomorrow would be a good day for the card reader to arrive!   It reached the Yorkshire DC (Wakefield) on Sunday and there it has stayed.

I might be able to bike along for the paper first thing .... the wind and rain isn’t forecast to reach KY9 until mid morning.   No .... change of plan .....I’ll take the car;   it needs its wheels turned now and again.

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
