Warmer ....

26th May 2021 (Wednesday)       06.30 .... There’s a healthier ‘feel’ to the air

Woodside Road - Elie.

this morning ;   it’s warmer for a start and the wind is light so hardly any wind-chill .... we could have a bonnie day ahead, albeit with showers.    

On the 21st June we will be celebrating the Summer Solstice, after which the nights start drawing in.... where has the first half of the year gone?     A couple of weeks ago I saw a number of House Martin’s and two Swallows;   they appear to have migrated South again because I haven’t see any for a few days.   Hopefully today is the first day of a long spell of warmer and more seasonal weather.

09.00    Because it began to spit rain, I decided that today was the day to do a ‘shopping’ at ‘the Store’.   This is a holiday weekend so the villages, and the shops, will be busy:  unusual for me, I did a ‘big’ shopping, probably because it is a holiday weekend.    We have light rain at the moment but it is due to clear away leaving us with sunny spells, and sharp showers.    I plan to bike up to Elie after the rain, and in between the showers.


12.30    Going out on the bike has been cancelled because we’re having a spell of light rain just now;  I might get out in the evening.    The temperature is 14c so at least it’s warmer;  actually the forecast is good for the weekend, which means the villages (and roads) will be busy;  but quiet at 06.00.

I did an unusual thing this morning;  I fell asleep in front of the tele.... and I was watching an interesting programme, about a pontoon bridge across a part of Loch Washington.   I normally don’t sleep until afternoon time; usually when  assisting Poirot.  I must have overdone the 'work' thing!      

16.30    The sky brightened after lunch so I went out on the bike .... up to Elie to the Chemist, then thought about having an ice cream from Carol’s, then remembered that I didn’t have any money or card with me, so I ended up going up to Kinneuchar.    I managed to get back home, just before a shower that I had been keeping an eye on.

21.00   For some reason I am shattered tonight;   it’s not that I have done very much


today.... I think it’s just the excitement of the weekend that has caught up with me.   I’ll have an early night in bed with my book.... so that I am ready for the good weather that’s to be with us over the weekend.   I think the villages will be busy over the weekend, so I’ll do the paper and harbour early; then have morrrrrrrrning coffee up at Chapel Green.

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
