Bright, with a frisky breeze ....

 22nd December 2020 (Tuesday)     08.00 .... ‘Sunny, with a gentle breeze’


is our weather forecast for today..... let’s get out and enjoy.    I might even have coffee with ‘The Boss’ as the light breeze is from the WSW so the seat is sheltered.    It will be cool on the beach at sunrise time, but I’ll have a wander down there in a wee while .... got to have another cuppa.     Sunrise is at 08.43.

11.00    We have a gorgeous day... and it began with a crackin’ sunrise.    Not only that, sunrise coincided with high tide and the local BTSC swimmer (girls and boys)  going in for their morning dip.  That was a bonus;   sunrise and action beach/seascape photographs....  loved it.  


19.00    I ended up having a busy day but not on the bike ... though I did make time to go up to Chapel Green;  but no long run to Colinsburgh.   Chapel Green was busier than I thought it would be in the middle of the day;  a bonnie day I should add.     It was cold in the wind, but a good day to be out.... well wrapped up.    Tomorrow is going to be cloudier so I’ll leave going for a decent run (on the bike) until Thursday.  Thursday is forecast to be sunny and cold.    Tomorrow, I think, will be a ‘hang around Ivy day’;   doing stuff in the front garden.  

21.30     My goodness .... I feel sorry for all the lorry drivers trying to get back home, to different European countries, but are now stuck in Kent.   All caused by the threat of the ‘new’ variant of COVID-19.  There does seem to be a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel...  if they can get a ‘test and go’ operation up and running.  

The gritter went down the road earlier because we are forecast to have a spell of cold,


potentially frosty, weather around Christmas.    No white Christmas forecast for our area.... though the higher ground of the highlands will have a good covering of snow.

I am tired and ready for bed and a read of my book.    We are sailing along the north of Australia and hope to travel down the East coast to Sydney tonight.   The author has to spend a lot of time (and money) keeping ‘Sheila’ (the yacht) sea worthy and in good nick.   She is an impressive and has come through a lot of heavy weather.

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
