Damp ....

20th June 2021 (Sunday)   06.30 .... when I first looked out (05.30) Ferry Road


was dry and it’s now wet....  and the sky is overcast so rain showers are around, though, according to ‘Willy Weather’ (and other weather forecasters), mostly towards the West of us.   I had intended biking up to Elie for the paper.... but I’ll leave biking until later:  Sunday papers are big anyway, and nae problem with the car.   I’m feeling energetic this morning;  pity aboot the weather.

08.30   I’ve been for the paper (and cherries) then down to the harbour where I had a wander among the boats.   It was eerily quiet, the only sound was the water flopping onto the sand;  even the gulls were silent.   I could see a couple of dog walkers out....one  at the Breakwater, and the other on the Ferry beach.  It was spitting rain on and off at that time;  but the sky is starting to look more promising now.   I should get out on the bike sometime today.



15.30   After ‘morrrning coffee’ I decided to go to the harbour again, this time on the bike.    What a difference a few hours make;  the harbour was busy:  I met Frances out with Pippa, Ronnie was there checking the Car Parking situation, and Anne came by when I was taking photograph from the Terrace.   So .... a busy day for my tongue.   Since then I have do a couple of Soduko’s in the Hutte.   Now I plan to have a cuppa, then cut something down in the garden.

    

21.30    We’ve had a light rain shower on and off for most of the evening;  if I had been working in the garden I would have had to stop.  Luckily I decided to work in the kitchen.... alongside the kettle.    Actually I made a batch of Cottage Pies.

I feel that my confidence is beginning to return at long last;   the pandemic, and the long


cold winter, made the last year and a half the strangest period of time I have ever been through.   I need to go to Pettycur, Kinghorn and Dysart harbours to feel ‘free’ again:  I hope they (‘my’ harbours) are still quiet places.   I wouldn’t like to find that even they have ‘changed’; change is ‘appening too fast for me.

‘Sunny intervals and a gentle breeze’ is the forecast for us for tomorrow;  I might be able to work in the garden.

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
