Breezy ....

11th January 2021 (Monday)      08.00 .... Hmmmmm.....   the sky is overcast

Elie Bay.

and there’s a brisk breeze from the WSW, but not cold.    It’s not warm either;  just not as cold as it has been lately.    I’ve been for the paper:    There’s not much happening down at the harbour.  I’ll take a walk to the beach after this update;  that will be my exercise for this morrrrning.

09.30    The sky is beginning to brighten .... in fact I saw some blue briefly;  we could have a reasonable, if breezy, morning.    There’s a ‘half gale’ blowin’ on the beach.... certainly the place to be if you want some fresh air.    There were a few spits and spots of rain in the wind at times, .... but not enough to dampen enthusiasm.... and I see more blue patches in the sky! 

16.30     We have the making of a wild evening;  the rain started in earnest (reached ‘normal’ by Scottish standards five minutes ago so it’s a braw evening for, finding something to watch on the tele, or work on the computer.... a little mix of both will be fine.    Luckily I fed ‘Blob’ about half an hour before the rain began.

Earlsferry from the Pony Field.

I had a walk up to the Pony Field in the middle of the day:  it’s as windy up there as it is on the beach.... but the view is different.   I met one lassie, out with her dog;  she had done the golf course bit and was going home via the beach, with the wind on her back.   It wasn’t as cold out as I thought it might be;  nonetheless I was glad to get back into Ivy and put the kettle ‘on’.    That reminds me.... I need a cuppa. 


21.30     In anticipation of a drying day tomorrow ‘The Boy’ has a washing going through the machine at this very minute.    When I hang it out in the morning it will be  unlikely to totally dry, but it might be dry
Links Road - Earlsferry.

enough to iron.   The heavy rain we had earlier appears to be petering out.    It is going to be sunny with a light breeze from the WNW... and is to be colder again.   I might get the bike out around midday.    No ‘plan’ for tomorrow;  we can’t have any adventurous ‘plans’ under lockdown .... so I’ll just potter around as the mood and weather takes me.... as long as it’s within 5 miles of Ivy, if I do go out.

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...
