Bright and breezy with heavy showers....

12th March 2021 (Friday)   09.30 .... We have a ‘bright and breezy’


start to the morning, but the washing has been cancelled, due to the fact we have heavy showers bumbling across, fairly frequently just now.  

I’ve been for the paper and visited the harbour, Ship Inn beer garden then home by way of Balbuthie Loan and Kinneuchar.   It’s a bonnie morning to be out..... well wrapped up in the car, ‘cos it’s cauld.... and wet now and again.   My ‘plans’ have had to be modified because of the  inconsiderate inclement weather.   I opened a new box of tea bags.


16.30   I did the washing, but it never reached the washing line;  the showers have been to frequent.... and heavy.   I’ll hang it out first thing in the morning.   I managed a walk to the beach, in between showers and, although short (and cool) it was enjoyable:  it has been beautiful in between showers.    I also did a wee bit of ‘planning’, but this has been mostly a ‘lazy’ day.  I hope there’s something good to watch on the tele tonight.


Yesterday I was passing Harbour House (in the car) when I noticed that the door was open and that there was someone coming out;  who was coming out?.... none other than our lovely Laura.   This got me into wondering when ‘arbour ‘ouse (and other coffee shops) might be opening, so I checked up what I think are the latest ‘rools’ and reached the conclusion that coffee shops won’t be opening until the end of April.   However, seeing Laura raised my hopes.... and brightened up my day.

21.00     There was an interesting sky this afternoon so I went to the harbour for a run in the car;  it was wild down there but I got to the shelter of the Ship Inn beer garden before the front edge of the shower.  There wasn’t much going on at the harbour, but there’s a sign of potential activity down there tomorrow.

The Master Plan’ for tomorrow has been concocted:   I’ll get the washing on the line


first thing (it’s a better forecast), then get the bike out, after breakfast, and head for the harbour.  That’s assuming the weather is as forecast.   If it’s a really nice day I might even go through the estate.

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
