Misty .....

29th May 2021 (Saturday)    07.30  .... the sun has a bit of work to do before we


get the ‘sunny intervals’ mention in the forecast;  at the moment we have haar/fog that’s rolled in from the North Sea, on a light easterly breeze.    I’ll go for the paper later, and hope the sky brightens quickly;  in the meantime I’ll have another cuppa.   Actually we might be plagued by haar, and an onshore breeze today taking a few degrees off the temperature. 

15.00    There has been more cloud about today, with the cool onshore breeze, but... my word... I enjoyed my ‘paper run’ this morning.    As normal I went to the harbour and found Helen getting ‘Archie’ (skiff) ready for launching;  the intention being to row out to the Wester Vows.   Angus was there, getting things set up for Elie Water Sports,  dog walkers and joggers were out;  it was a quietly busy scene, with a brilliant atmosphere all around;  I had a great time;  and I’d remembered to go for the paper.


By the time I reached Chapel Green ‘Archie’ (and crew) were at the Wester Vows:  I enjoyed a chat with a lady out walking her dog, when waiting for rowers to get back to The Beacon.

Since then I have sorted out the photos, had lunch, started a Soduko and fell asleep in The Hutte.    Now I am thinking of going out on the bike;  after I have a cuppa.



21.30    I didn’t go out on the bike because the breeze freshened, and being from the East, I thought it too cold for my breathing tubes.    I did have the cuppa, and finished the hard Soduko.    The hard ones can be tricky blighters.

The sky is looking a bit healthier tonight;  cotton wool balls of clouds instead of mist and haar  ....hopefully that means a day without mist/haar tomorrow.    The temperatures over the next few days are going to be more seasonal.... in fact hot, with very little wind.   The villages will be busy so there will be loads of opportunity to chat.... and, if the weather is


warm, I will have ‘morning coffee’ at Chapel Green; having been for the paper first thing.   Monday’s weather forecast looks favourable for a trip up to Balcarres Estate for a potter about.

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
