Overcast and cooler than expected ....

27th May 2021 (Thursday)     08.30 .... There’s more cloud around than I

Jet, Chris and Kate in Earlsferry.

expected, but the sun should break through by lunchtime;  the wind is light and is mostly going to be from the SE ... in other words, a cool onshore breeze.  I hung a washing out early and it should be dry by evening time.

I’m feeling brighter this morning and have been for the paper and down to the harbour in the car (I needed milk):  everyone will be pleased to know that all is good down there;   ‘The Harbour Cafe’ is looking  good and should be ready for the opening in mid June.   It looks very ‘Olde Fashioned’ and coastal.    ‘Nosebag’ (has this ‘Nosebag’ got any connection with the Oxford ‘Nosebag’?) will be operating from the ‘Sailing Club’, so there will be a choice of good food at the harbour.

10.30    I did it;  oh I’d better explain.   All morning I have been on the lookout for Chris, Kate and Jet who are walking round the edge of the UK, I finally caught up with them at the ‘Ferry Toon Hall’.    I’d actually given up hope of seeing them, but decided to have a final run round ‘The Ferry’, and there they were.   I am a happy boy and will now have a well deserved (I think its well deserved) a Cappuccino.

11.30    I enjoyed the Cappuccino;  the ‘plan’ was to have it in The Hutte, but the sun is struggling to break through the cloud, and we have that cool onshore breeze so sitting outside, even in The Hutte, is not to be recommended  at this time.   The washing is hanging limply and doesn’t look like it will dry today;  not outside anyway.

I am really well pleased getting a photograph of Chris, Kate and Jet in Earlsferry:  especially when I thought I’d missed them.






21.00     The sun broke through after lunch and we had a nice afternoon;  yes the cool breeze kept the temperature down, but it was warm in Ivy garden.   Ferry Road has been busy today, and with the forecast being good for the weekend I expect the villages to be... to be hones ... too busy.   Accessing the harbour could be difficult at times.   I’ll do any village biking early, and inland towards Balcarres etc. in the afternoon;  assuming the roads aren’t too busy. I’ve had a really enjoyable, and restful, day today; and .... the breeze freshened in the afternoon and the washing dried.   I’m now going to make my bedtime chocolate, then browse the tele channels to see if there’s anything I fancy watching.

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
