Bright and sunny .... the weather too

6th April 2021 (Tuesday)   08.00 .... When I checked the garden thermometer

St Monans harbour  'Middle Pier'.

this morning (07.00) it was just under 0C so not as cold as yesterday morning..... and definitely not as windy and therefore less wind-chill.... it’s almost ‘warm’.    The wind should freshen later.   I’m looking forward to, a well wrapped up me, enjoying a ‘bright and sunny’ day.

13.00    It’s a gorgeous day;  it is a bit breezy but not nearly as cold as it was yesterday.    After going to the ‘paper shop’ and Barnett’s the Baker, I decided to have a change of harbour today;  I’d go to St Monans.   On the way past the Toll Green (Elie) I automatically indicated right  .... and went to the harbour:  so I did both Elie and St Monans harbours.     Elie is more exposed to any wind, whereas St Monans is more sheltered from wind from the northerly direction:  that said, I was well wrapped up, and enjoyed a wander round both.   Both harbours have boats on the piers, ready to be ‘craned in’ on Friday:  while St Monans has more ‘working boats’ in the harbour.   I have had an enjoyable morning;  now I need to have lunch.... which will be followed by a short ‘catnap’ then some ‘creative’ work.


17.30    I've had an enjoyable afternoon, sitting in The Hutte enjoying a cuppa and doing artistic things.    Not much effort required to draw.   It has taken until today for my muscles to recover from climbing the step ladders when cleaning the windows on Sunday.     I have no intention of doing step ladder climbing as an exercise, so that I’m fit for the next window cleaning session.    









21.30     We say ‘Cheerio’ to Olive tomorrow afternoon, by ‘paying our respects’ as the hearse passes by;  the route being along Meadow Road in Barnyards then Main street Kilconquhar.    This could be one of the few, ‘new’ ways of doing things that could become ‘normal’ practice.    It seems a good and practical way of saying ‘Cheerio’ to someone we love.

This cold spell has changed my going ‘out and about’ habits.   I can’t go out biking, as

St Monans.

often as I’d like;  I enjoy the fresh air, but the temperature of it agitates the breathing tubes.    I’ve had an enjoyable and busy day today and will go to bed a tired but contented ‘boy’.

The weather for tomorrow is ‘sunny intervals with a moderate breeze’;  much the same as today.     It may become cloudier later in the  afternoon.

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
