Windy and wet ....

26th December 2020 (Saturday)       08.00 .... There’s a strong  wind (but

not as strong as it’s going to be by midday) with rain in it now and again.... the ‘rain in it

now and again’ is going to change to heavy rain by mid morning;   and today is the first day of the new Tier 4 ‘rools’  re the COVID-19 crisis.    No Boxing Day sales scramble on the news.   All in all it would appear that we are depending on the TV for entertainment;  and  I absolutely refuse to watch another version of ‘Scrooge’.    It could be a wee bit of tidying up around Ivy, working on the computer and watching brilliant film (which I have yet to find) on the TV..... and, drinking numerous cuppas.   Luckily I got a lot of books and goodies for Christmas so the ‘brilliant film’ on TV isn’t that vital.  I’m sure we’ll all have a Joyous Boxing Day.   ‘Blob’ has been fed and is ready for ‘the day’.

11.30    It wasn’t bad on the beach this morning;   a bit breezy right enough, but only the occasional spit and spot of rain (though it is raining now).    Strangely enough it wasn’t cold considering the wind strength.    I’ve browsed the TV and found nothing that I’d like to watch; although ‘Peppa Pig’ attracted my attention for a few minutes.   It’s coffee time.


14.30     There’s a wild wind with spells of squally rain so not a day for going out.   I’ve had a light lunch, but had extra ‘nibbles’;  tomorrow I hope to get out for exercise.    I have browsed the TV but didn’t find anything I fancied watching.... other than the BBC weather highlights of 2020.  Oh ... and ‘Peppa Pig’.     Now I fancy a cuppa and doing a Soduko .... or two.   I am glad that I went to the beach in the morning .... it’s too wet to go out with the camera now.... even with a big sea running.   Must go.... big flap on;  I need that cuppa.   
 

20.00    I’d say that Storm Bella has been a bit of a nuisance;  however ‘she’ is on her way out to the North Sea and tomorrow is going to be ‘sunny with a moderate breeze and cool on the lugs’.... I should get out on the bike. 

Today has been a lazy rest day and I feel ready to tackle tomorrow with some vigour. 

15 minutes before sunrise time.

   The only ‘work’ I’ve done is put out the green bin;   according to the Fife Council website it’s being emptied tomorrow (Sunday).

I eventually settled down to watch ‘Tora Tora Tora’.... a film about the attack on Pearl Harbour.      I’ve seen it before but like the filming.... anyway I fell asleep and missed a lot of it.

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
