Hmmmmm .... a damp morrrrrrrrrrning ....

 

8th December 2020 (Tuesday)      10.30 .... we’ve had a lot of rain overnight

Overcast but dry.... and bonnie in a different way.

and, though its not raining just now,  another band of rain is due to come our way:  right now we have some ‘bloo’ bits in the sky.

I’ve been to ‘The Store’ (Ainster)  for a few supplies;  I didn’t need very much but I wanted to top up my ‘emergency rations’  for the Festive Season.   I think the East Neuk is going to be extremely bust over Christmas (and probably into New Year).   On the way back went to the Pittenweem Braes  Car Park, but a lot of it has been taken over as the operational site  for the workmen renovating the outdoor pool.     I’d be inclined to renovate all the old outdoor pools (including The Step rock if possible);   they are probably healthier places than the indoor pools anyway....and they have a low carbon footprint.    Unfortunately they are colder.

16.00     I had occasion to come down Ferry Road in the car this afternoon (too wet for the bike today), and was really pleasantly surprised to find, that two of the bad pothole areas have been patched;  not just the holes filled in, but cut out to make one bigger patch that takes in a (small) nest o’ potholes!  I like to think that the pothole team does


get ‘job satisfaction’ after all.    Perhaps this was a different ‘team’, because the ‘patching’ has been done with different material.

It has a fairly drab kind of day, but I did get out a couple of time after I got back from the Store’;  to the beach and the harbour (for the second time).    I like harbours!

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
