Bright and breezy ...

 

5th September 2020 (Saturday)     07.30 .... we had a red sky this morning, (I


saw this from the kitchen) which usually means a change in the weather in the next couple of days.... so nothing new there.    It’s a bonnie morning, bright and breezy, with interesting clouds.... a nice morning for going out.... there is the chance of showers but I have a washing going through the machine in spite of that, because it’s also a good drying day.... as long as any showers are somewhere else.

08.30     I hinnae been for the paper yet, but the washing is on the line and I’m having a cuppa:  during the consuming of aforesaid cuppa I shall plan my ‘day’.    As you’d expect,  the sky has turned slightly threatening since I hung out the washing, however I still feel confident (having checked the Fife Weather cams):   but I won’t go for the  paper until later in the morning.  I’ll have two cuppas.


13.30     I’ve been a bundle of action this morning.    Washing out (and nearly dry), went for the paper via Elie Estate, Elie harbour and Chapel Green;  now I am settling down  to watch le Tour.   It’s a bonnie day and the villages appear to be busy because I've seen a lot of people going up, and down, Ferry Road.



18.00     George (‘Dod’) arrived in the afternoon, so we caught up with each other’s ‘news’ over a cuppa, while keeping an eye on the ‘Tour’ at the same time.   It has been an interesting afternoon.   When George was leaving we heard the Search and Rescue helicopter over by the cliffs; it’s a noise we don’t like to hear, but for those in trouble it would be a welcome sound.   Perhaps it was an exercise.

I see on the news that an anti lockdown rally has taken place in


Edinburgh:  that’s the way to control COVID-19?  I wonder who is behind this?  Locally we have the Kinneuchar Inn having to close for 10 days because of an ‘isolated case;  I am not looking forward to this winter.

Tomorrow we are forecast to have ‘sunny intervals and a gentle breeze’;   after   light drizzle first thing.   Looks like being a nice day from mid morning.

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...
