Breezy ....

13th August 2021 (Friday)    07.30 .... there’s frisky breeze already this


morning, and it’s to freshen, so Dumbarnie Links will be a real test today for the ladies playing in the Scottish Open.   Showers are also mentioned in the weather forecast;  of course, they are random and might miss us.    I hope so.   We get the highlights of yesterdays play twice (morning and lunchtime) then ‘live’ from Dumbarnie from 18.00 – 19.00.   

I hope to go out on the bike sometime today;  I have a prescription to hand in, so it will be later in the morning.   Should I try to fire up the central heating?    It isn’t cauld but I should read the ‘rools’  and have a trial run.   Cuppa time.

08.00   We’ve had spits and spots o’ rain, but the sky is clearing so it looks like being a bright and breezy day .... though light showers could be a nuisance.    Oh ...  I’ve found the ‘Operational Guide’ to the boiler;  should be an interesting morning.



15.00    It hasn’t taken me all this time to set the heating, I have been doing other things;  but I am looking forward to see what happens when, and if, the heating programme that I think I set, comes on .... or doesn’t.   It’s all exciting stuff.

I haven’t been anywhere, but I have done some ‘ousework .... and had lunch.   The shelf unit that belongs to the central heating cupboard, needs to be a wee bit narrower, so I have dismantled it and will cut the shelves to length tomorrow.... and think about reassembling the unit.  I’ll now have a cuppa, before going out on the bike... if the sky disnae look threatening.

21.00   The central heating didn’t come on at the set time;  I thought I must have pressed a wrong button, then I remembered it is set to come on at 21C.... it just wasn’t cold enough.    I went for a walk and it was ‘on’ when I got back to Ivy;  it’s too hot now;  however I’ll browse and reset it all tomorrow.

I am going for a paper tomorrow... on the bike.   The weather forecast for us is; ‘sunny


intervals, with a moderate breeze and a low chance of precipitation’.   Yep... the boy will get down to the harbour tomorrow morrrrrning.

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
