Cloudy and breezy ....

 

22nd March 2021 (Monday)     07.30 .... The forecast for KY9 is, ‘light


cloud and a moderate breeze’;    at present we have a lot of ‘not so light cloud’ and the moderate breeze.   Hopefully the sun will burn off some of the cloud by mid morning;  at the moment it doesn’t look like we’re going to have a repeat of yesterday’s weather.  

22.00   The moderate breeze was a bit blustery when I was out on the bike.... I had an enjoyable run to Kinneuchar by way of Balbuthie, but I was biking into the wind, on the exposed bit of the road from Balbuthie Farm to Kinneuchar.   It was good to be out again.   Oh .... I’m feeling ready to, (probably), overdo it again, as soon as a really warm days comes along.


I took the car for the paper run first thing this morning.... at that time it was overcast and cold.... and I didn’t fancy biking in the cold air.   Mind you it has been cloudier today.... but warm enough in the Hutte where I spent a good bit of the day.   The delivery that was scheduled for tomorrow arrived today, so I have been able to print off the photos I need for one of my ongoing ‘projects’.   This also means that I don’t have to stay around Ivy tomorrow.  

When I was out taking a couple of photos of Ferry Corner I met Gareth.    He has coped well with the past year, but, like us all, will be glad when we can begin to relax a bit.    Gareth lives at the East end of Elie so had a good walk for his afternoon exercise.

Tomorrow should be another breezy and mostly cloudy day.... but dry.     I have no ‘plan’ but I am feeling creative again so will probably spend much of the time  pottering around Ivy Cottage.... with a couple of forays out for exercise.

The problem of my skinny ankles (the only bit of me that can be called ‘skinny’), not holding my bicycle clips in place, has been solved.   I use an elastic band to stop my ‘breeks’ getting covered in oil. 

I suppose I’d better get myself organised with a mug o’ chocolate and the TV buttons:  if


nothing else I’ll have a look at the ‘News’.    One ‘news’ item I saw earlier was about us joining other Western countries in sanctioning China for the mistreatment of the Muslim Uighar population of North West China.    And so we should.   Most of those huge tankers we see in the Firth, waiting to load up with crude oil..... guess where the oil ends up?.... yes... China.   I wonder if that will stop?

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
