Misty and warm ....

4th July 2021 (Sunday)   “Happy Independence Day” to all my American friends;  on the 245th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. 

06.30 .... we have a misty and warm morning, but the sun is trying to break through so

'Jo'.

we should have sunny spells later.   Fife has a yellow warning for thunderstorms, effective from 10.00 until midnight.... so.... we might also have a few showers.   That could mean interesting clouds.     

08.30    My word .... ‘The Store’ was busy this morning, with auld people doing their shopping earlier;   I was the youngest there, apart from the Check out lassie.... who I am ‘in love’ with.    I went shopping because it was foggy, but  the sun had broken through by the time I got back to Elie and Earlsferry.   It is already warm and humid;  so we might well have heavy downpours.    I'm thinkin' that I’d best get out on the bike after this update:   slight ‘flap on’ now;  I need a cuppa after packing the shopping away, and before I go out on the bike.

17.30    I did a tour of the villages this morning and managed to get a few misty photos.... and I met Phil Cooke, a photographer from Windygates at the harbour.   However the highlight of today (no.... it wasn’t ‘e Tour).... was a visit from Jo (McKinnie) who was out for a walk and dropped in to say hello.   Jo is an Elie girl who now lives ‘down South’ (very down south ... the IOW), and is up visiting her sister Diana (Gillies). 


 We sat in The Hutte and chatted;  now that we can have visitors, I suddenly feel the need to tidy up The Hutte;  and to practice my coffee making skills!    Jo’s visit well overshadowed le Tour;  though Stage 9 was exciting at the end.    Tomorrow is the first ‘rest day’ for the competitors so I suppose I should have a ‘rest day’ too!   No....  I might just tidy up the Hutte!








20.00    The day began foggy and it’s ending foggy..... but at least we haven’t had any heavy downpours, or thunderstorms such as hit Edinburgh.    More persistent rain is going to spread north overnight, so first thing tomorrow morning might be damp.

Nae ‘plan’s for tomorrow;  most likely ‘ousework, making ready for Michael and Janice


arriving on the 28th, if it’s raining.   The Hutte must be tidied up, but not when it’s raining.

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
