Frosty morning ....

11th April 2021 (Sunday)      07.00 .... It’s a nice morning but there’s a touch

Angus .... having a walk round the harbour.

of frost, and the car windscreen needs scraping.    The thermometer is reading -1C so not that cold but there’s is a breeze so wind chill makes it feel like -12C .... only jokin’ ... it’s more like -3C.    It looks like being a bonnie day, but the weather forecast for KY9 is ...’hail showers and a gentle breeze’.... that said, remember that "every cloud has a silver lining"... there could be bonnie clouds.    

09.00    The Lammermuirs (Sooth side) have a covering of snow which is a sure sign of a spell of wintry weather;  right now we have a lovely day but the wind is cold.   However wrapping up can take care of that.... we have clothes to take care of even the worst of Scottish weather.    I didn’t see many clouds on the way home from Anstruther (I’ve been to The Store’)..... but, they could build up later in the day;  as they did yesterday.   I think I deserve a cup of coffee after a busy morning .... and I haven’t had breakfast yet.   Flap now ‘on’.

15.30    I ‘went’ to the kirk....the online service is almost like actually being ‘there’:  only the friendly, face to face chat is missing.   That is what the Room, at the end of the service, is all about of course.... but I am not good in a room.     I like the content of the service.


We have had some snow/hail showers this afternoon, so I haven’t been out anywhere yet;  but that’s not the reason for not being out.   Having been sound asleep for just over an hour, I have reached the conclusion that tiredness is a side effect of the ‘jab;  this is longer than my normal catnap.  Now that I am feeling  refreshed I’ll go somewhere,  in the car.... after a cuppa.   

19.00   The  ‘somewhere’ mentioned above,  turned out to be the harbour;  where else?     I noticed (on the weather cams) that we had a heavy shower coming our way and thought the harbour was the place to be.   It was .... the light was fantastic.    I had a great time .... and managed to record the scene.    The harbour is alive again.... which means more photos of boats.    No I will be expanding my horizons in a couple of weeks, once the weather is warmer and the ‘jabs’ have taken full effect;   another couple of harbours.... Pettycur and Kinghorn will be the first mission.     Anyway


I did enjoy my visit to the harbour .... it was really enjoyable.   











21.30‘Bright and sunny with a gentle breeze’ is the forecast for us tomorrow .... and it should feel warmer.   This has been an enjoyable day for me;  now I’m ready for a mug of chocolate then orf to bed with a book.

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
