Wintry feel to the air ....

6th May 2021 (Thursday)     07.00....Hmmmmm .... there’s a yellow warning for


snow, to low levels, for the Central belt this morning, so I imagine we shall have showers of ‘something’.   The thermometer is at 4C so it’s not frosty but there’s a Northerly wind, so, taking wind-chill into account, the air feels about -2C.   Although wintry feeling it’s not all ‘bad’;  we should  have some lovely clouds bubbling up later.

 09.30    Having checked the weather forecast I have decided to go out on the bike..... if the sky isn’t too threatening.   The ‘plan’ is to go through the Estate, where the trees give some shelter from the cool breeze, then do the usual village tour.    When I’m get back to Ivy  I am going to make a batch of ‘Cottage Pies’;  a warm job:  after I have a  cuppa.  


13.00    I did the Estate/harbour/ villages tour, but had to speed up at the end to get back to Ivy,  before one of the showers that are around.   It was an enjoyable scamper, but it was cool:  lovely in the sunny, sheltered spots.

I’m going to have an ‘afternoon coffee’, followed probably by short catnap in The Hutte, before making the Cottage Pies.




21.00    KY9 is going to have, ‘hail showers with a gentle breeze’ tomorrow;  a quieter day than today, could even feel warm.    I am satisfied after at the end of reasonably busy and satisfying day.   I go back to six monthly PSA check –ups as the latest test showed that it had gone down by 4 points, from 12.5 to 8.5.   I shall take a three week break from biking before the next test;  I want to see if I can get it (PSA) down to 5.

It looks like being a calm morning tomorrow so I’ll bike along to the ‘paper shop’, later


in the morning because I also need to go to the Chemist.   Nae ‘plan’ for tomorrow;  I have to stay around Ivy in case the sketch pads are delivered, I have a tracking Number but Parcel Force are so busy just now that they only tell you after they have tried to make a delivery.... I can’t ‘track’ the parcel en route.

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
