Breezy ....

16th December 2020 (Wednesday)      07.00 .... Heavy rain and  a fresh


breeze from the southeast is the forecast for KY9 today.   It isn’t raining just now though there is a fresh breeze;  but it isn’t as cold as you’d expect it to be in December.    It looks like being a computer/ ‘ousework/ day for me.  I’ll go for the paper later in the morning.

09.00    The rain started as I was going out of Elie (I’ve been to ‘The Store’) and its heavy now, but should begin to slacken off around lunchtime.   I noticed some lighter patches in the sky so we  just might end up with a reasonable evening.   By that time it will be dark.

‘The Store’ was quiet this morning;  I bought everything on the list plus a few extras.   One of the extras was a packet of six Staedtler pencils.  I have loads of pencils, ordinary ones and artists ones, so didn’t really need to buy pencils but ..... they were there and Staedtler are good pencils.  The weather isn’t ‘iggzactly’ of the motivating kind this morrrrning, but I’m a happy bunny. ... and it’s breakfast time.


16.30    A letter from ‘Coast Health’(our surgery) arrived this morning, asking me to make an appointment to have a review of my blood pressure.   It’s an annual thing.   I was surprised to find that the letter came from Radstock, Bath.   I wonder if the folks from Bath get their notifications from Inverness.

I took the car up to Colinsburgh to fill ‘her’ up with fuel.... and to deliver the Colinsburgh Christmas cards.    I came home by way of Elie to get my paper(s);   I met Myra so we wandered along to harbour ‘ouse to buy a ‘carry out’ morning coffee.   On the way back to our vehicles we met Geoff.... and I later met Dod, on my way down to the harbour to have my coffee.

18.30    This morning I got out of bed at my normal time... 05.30 .... and I feel better for

Would this be a "Red sky at night"?

it.    I have been waking up at 05.30 but ‘turning over’ then getting ‘up’ at 07.00.   It will be the shortest day (or longest night) in another 4 days so I’m getting organised for next Spring and a nice warm sunny Summer.    The ‘plan’ is to bike up to Kinneuchar tomorrow .... it’s going to be a “sunny intervals with a moderate breeze from the Southwest” day.    Must ‘go’ ... ever so slight flap on... I forgot to switch the kettle ‘on’.

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
