Cool easterly wind ....

 

24th April 2021 (Saturday)      08.30....  we have sunny spells with a brisk


Easterly  wind this morning and it isn’t very warm;  definitely a day for working in The Hutte.   It will be warm anywhere sheltered from the wind.... so inside The Hutte is where I will be.... or the back garden.   I might go up to Chapel Green in the afternoon.... depends on how absorbed I get with ‘work’;  and how windy, and cold it is.   I need another cuppa before I hang out a washing.... it’s a good drying day. 

09.30     It’s a nice morning now;   yes it’s breezy but not feeling as cold as it was earlier (07.00).    I’ve taken the bike out and might go for a tour of the villages, and pick up a paper;  after morning coffee.   ‘Morning coffee’ will be taken in The Hutte .... as soon as the kettle boils.   Should I have cake?   I will have cake.... I need cake!


16.30    I did have cake;  and enjoyed it.   After morning coffee (and cake) I went  up to Chapel Green.   At that time the breeze didn’t feel that cold and I spent a good  hour admiring the view from the various seats round the Green.   The Coastal walk was fairly busy;  with walkers actually doing part of the CW, and others just out for their morning exercise.     I was pleased to see the Interpretation Boards being read.   Dorothy came round and I chatted tom her for a while;  I think everyone is glad that the ‘lockdown’ is relaxing, but also apprehensive as to what will happen over the coming summer.   Next week sees the start of some kind of ‘old normal’.    





19.00     It may have been a cool wind today, but it was a good drying one;  the washing dried quickly and has been ironed:  I feel fairly content after that little bit of effort.   Unfortunately this has been a bad asthma day;  dry East winds bring pollution from the Continent (same as Chernobyl only not radioactive) .... that, and the cold wind is not good:  having said that, I did enjoy my trip up to Chapel Green.  The plan is to go out


early tomorrow, before the wind freshens.   Having just been out to The Hutte I found that it’s cold out;  it almost feels like we could get a light frost.    The blossom on the apple tree will not like that.

I think I’ll have a browse of the TV channels to see if there’s anything to watch:  if I don’t find anything I fancy I’ll do some computer ‘stuff’.

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
