Interesting sky ....

3rd January 2021 (Sunday)      10.00 .... It’s cloudier, with a lot of showers


going  around... especially along towards Crail.    It’s cold but not as cold as I expected it to be...it is above freezing and was so even at 06.30.

I remembered to pick up the paper, before going to the harbour, this morning;  I did a ‘round the villages’ in the car this morning;   I might go out later once the sun gets going. 



19.30      I had no intention of doing any ‘ousework today .... but....  that’s what I ended up doing.   The Festive season is weel and truly over.  With heavy showers and sunny spells today’s weather has been mixed so I guess that’s what got me into a ‘working mood.   Anyway I feel contented (and tired) at the end of the day.   

 Todays 'Blue Tits SC' swimmers.

We have had a lot of big clouds today so I went down to the beach at sunset time.... it was really nice at this time.    And it coincided with high tide and that’s when the Blue Tits SC go for their daily swim so they brought the beach photos to life.   The beach was busy at that time; it was a really bonnie end to the day and a lot of folks were enjoying it.    When I woke up this morning I felt ‘sluggish’;  not really in the mood to do very much.    However, I got more into gear after a shower.   I usually feel a bit melancholy after the Festive Season.    I’ll have an early night in bed.

Unlike me, the bin-men weren’t sluggish;  the ‘Bloo’ bin was emptied by the time I got back to Ivy with the paper.   That reminds me I have not read the paper yet.   I’ll do that tomorrow.

Tomorrow looks like being another ‘sunny spells with light winds day’ but the showers

Busy beach at sunset time.

are going to be fewer.   I won’t make a ‘plan’ for tomorrow until I see how I feel and what the weather is doing.   I have been feeling ‘creative’ ever since Emily (granddaughter) sent me a Christmas present of one of my photographs that she did, as an oil painting.   I’ll take a photo of it tomorrow.   I also got a lot of interesting books .... books always help me out of the doldrums at this time of year.

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
