Not a good hair day ....

19th February 2021 (Friday)     09.30 .... I see that the weather forecast has


us down for ‘heavy rain and a fresh breeze’ for near enough the whole day.     I went to the beach at sunrise time and the rain began just as I left the beach.... and as the ‘Blue Tit’ SC’ swimmers went in for their morning dip.   The rain has settled in and it’s looking like ‘ousework/computer/ tele, for this boy today;  though I will go for the paper (in the car) and take a run to the harbour.   All is good at the Centre of the Universe.... hmmmm ... it could be better if it wasn't overcast and wet!



16.00   It was raining heavily when I went to Elie;  so heavily in fact that, when I went to the harbour I circumnavigated the granary non-stop and made for the shelter of the Ship Inn awning.   (I don’t know what I’ll do when The Ship re-opens).   At that time the sky was breaking up (aye even ‘bloo’ bits) over on the ‘sooth side’.   Sure enough by the time I left the Ship Inn beer garden the rain was of the light variety.    I remembered to get the paper!

After ‘Morrrrrrrrning Coffee’ (Ivy Cottage vintage) and chatting to Myra on the phone, I


decided to have another go at the beach.   A lot of others had had the same idea:  the beach was busy with walkers;  and dogs taking their owners out for their morning exercise .... all, like me, taking advantage of fact that it had stopped raining.    Unfortunately, after about 20 minutes it, started raining again, so the walk had to be cut short;  by this time t I had managed to get a few photos of the ‘interesting sky’, so I left the beach a happy-ish bunny.     I have photos to ‘play’ with tonight.






21.00   Hmmmm .... I’ve had an enjoyable day, but I don’t seem to have achieved much:  I feel ‘lazy’.   I think that’s because both walks to the beach were cut short by rain.    Tomorrow is going to be brighter... ‘light rain at times, with a fresh SSE breeze’ .... but we could have sunny spells by midday.   I’m hoping to get some tidying up done in the front garden;  I need to get rid of the dead leaves and stuff;  to let

the Spring things through.    It’s not going to be a day for biking so there’s fair chance I will get something done out there.

I’ll do this update, check for any e-mails, make a mug of chocolate, then browse  the TV channels.

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
