Iffy .... (the weather i.e.).

10th March 2021 (Wednesday)    08.30 .... after a wild night we have a

Where 'Four Winds' used to be.

calm(ish) morning, though the sky remains mostly overcast with the threat of light showers.  Unfortunately there is another band of rain coming our way after midday;  so ....I have a couple of hours of ‘playtime’ ahead.   Better have another cuppa then get the bike out! 

12.00    We had a beautiful morning once the sky cleared.... and a lot of folk took advantage of that, knowing that the afternoon was going to be ... well.... ‘damp’.   In fact the sky has clouded over, with the next rain band not that far off by the look of it.

I went for the paper on the bike... and... I remembered to get it, them actually as this is ‘East Fife Mail day.   After the ‘paper shop’ I did the tour of the villages.   The house, ‘Four Winds’, has gone;  all that remains is a heap of rubble and an open space.   There’s much building action going on around ‘The Ferry’.


The harbour was quiet....‘Cavalier’ being the only boat in the harbour.    That’s the boat that had the engine malfunction the other day.    It was cold on the bike, the raw cold that comes with rain.   I won’t be going out again today:  not on the bike anyway.

21.00    My word, we have had ‘low pressure’ today;   I had a, what I call, ‘weather migraine’.  which problem happens when the barometric pressure is down to 1005;  the barometer is showing 980 just now and still going down.    Got to drink loads of water, a few extra cups of coffee (caffeine), lie down .... and keep taking the pills.   ‘Weather migraines’ are the most miserable kind.     Having said all that I have had an enjoyable day (the pills help).   We did have a wet spell after midday .... but the afternoon  ended brightly;  and I had a lie down in the middle of it all.

‘Plan’ for tomorrow?    As far as I can see we’re going to have a ‘bright and breezy day’


after another windy night.      The bike is fully charged but it may be too windy for me to go far:  round the villages will be far enough.   

I am going to have another cuppa (not chocolate) and 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

Cold and overcast ....

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
