Cool Easterly breeze ....

19th June 2021 (Saturday)     08.30 .... we have a cloudy morning.... in fact

Geoff's lupins.

some spots o’ rain hit the car windscreen when I was coming through Kinneuchar, (on the way home from ‘The Store’).    At the moment the sky is beginning to brighten, bringing the hope of sunny spells, with possibly showers later.   There’s a cool breeze coming in off the sea:  I don’t think I’ll be going to Balcarres today.

21.00   Go to Balcarres? ..... I never even got the bike out at all.    It has been a  grey, unsettled kind of day, with more damp spells than sunny ones.   I never got any gardening done .... everything was too wet: I’m glad that I went to ‘The Store’, at least I had some exercise wandering round the aisles.    All the ‘work’ I have done today, is some ‘ousework, and an ironing.    Luckily there was football on the tele so I watched that in between doing things.

Ferry Road this evening.

Ferry Road was busy with cars this afternoon;  I often wonder where they actually end up, but I think Saturday is the ‘change over’ day for the holiday lets.  The East Neuk is becoming very busy.... all over the place.   Even some of my ‘quiet’ places have been usurped;  but not all of them.  

Tuesday looks like being the next ‘good day’;  tomorrow and Monday are forecast to be “cloudy/overcast with the chance of precipitation”.   On Tuesday the wind changes back to the West bringing a change of weather.


22.30     I ended up the evening with a migraine (weather) so;  it’s a couple o’ pills with my chocolate then orf to bed with my book.   This is the best time to have a migraine; 


just before bedtime.    I’ll have a good night’s sleep and wake up feeling lively;  frolicsome even.

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
