Light showers ....

 

7th August 2021 (Saturday)     09.00 .... Cloudy, with occasional light showers,


so far this morning:  sunny spells (with light showers) from midday.   How ‘nice’ the day we get, depends on just how frequent the light showers are.  I’ll do computer ‘stuff’ in the morning, and get some exercise after lunch.   I am treating Janice and Michael to lunch at the Ship Inn..... without me for a change... though I hope to get photographs was they’re walking home.  

17.30    Michael and Janice enjoyed lunch at The Ship Inn... and I did get along to The Terrace in time to get a few photographs.   I was thinking about going to the harbour but the street was busy with traffic so I came home by way of the Estate.   Janice and I both did  a washing today but it isn’t a good ‘drying day’;  in fact Janice rescued the towels I’d hung out, when she noticed that it looked like a heavy shower was coming over, and went out to bring in her washing.   I see that the weather warning for heavy thundery showers has been extended to cover the whole of Sunday:  this weather doesn’t agree with me.... I’ve been feeling sluggish all day.


20.00    The Scottish Women’s Open is being played over Dumbarnie Links next week (12th to 15th) and it is being televised on Sky;  so that takes care of this boy’s  viewing for those dates.   Let’s hope the weather is more settled that in has been for this weekend.

Neil and Ken are doing their marathon run tomorrow;  to raise funds for maintaining and enhancing the villages.  The boys are setting off at 06.00, and I intend being there to see them off, and plan to meet them at various points en route to record their run.   The weather forecast is ‘mixed’, with a ‘chance of precipitation’ in the morning, and a ‘good chance of heavy showers’ in the afternoon.   They will be finished long before the ‘heavy showers’.    How I get on with my ‘plan’ depends on the frequency and intensity of the showers.

I’ve had a ‘funny’ day;  feeling sluggish, but getting things done.... I’m blaming the


weather.   The ‘plan’ is to go to bed early and be frisky as a lamb in the 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
