Misty with cool onshore breeze ....

25th August 2021 (Wednesday)    09.00 .... It’s misty with a cool onshore

Barbara.

breeze this morning, but ... the sun should burn the mist back by the afternoon,....  unfortunately  the east Coast is forecast to be cooler and cloudier today.   I’ll go for the paper about 11.00 .... once the sun starts to make inroads on the mist.   It’s not the best of ‘drying days’ but I have a washing going through the machine;  I’m feeling optimistic that the combination of breeze, sunshine ... and moonshine tonight, should dry it.

15.00    It was misty when I eventually went for the paper, but it was pleasantly warm.... and, although generally grey, there was a lot going on, and the colourful sails of the dinghies etc. are always there to brighten the scene.  The broke through after lunch and we have a ‘sunny with the threat of haar’ kind of afternoon.   I must venture up to The Hutte;  there’s Soduko that needs to be done.


22.00   My word ... we did have a lovely evening;  and I just had to go out.  I went to the ‘Harvie-Watt Family’ seat at the sixth tee, to get a few shots of golfers enjoying the evening, then round to Chapel Green to get shots of Elie and Earlsferry in the evening sunshine.   I enjoyed the evening sun, and got the evening photographs I wanted;  so I’m a happy boy.   There are a lot of wasps using the seat as a source of wood, to make paper for their nest;  at first the colour of wasps automatically sent warning signals to the brain cell; but I soon settled down, and left them to get on with it.

I’ve had a reasonably busy day today;  and... the washing dried so ironing it will be the next job....or the first one tomorrow.   Tomorrow is going to be another day much like today;  misty at first then clearing to a bonnie afternoon.   I have a bit of work to do but I’m sure that I’ll find time to go out and play.... though I might leave that until evening time.

The news from Afghanistan continues to dominate our News Channels;  the airlift of


those wanting to get out of Afghanistan is up to speed now, but they have only a few more days before the ‘line in the sand’... the 31st.  When you think about it;  If everyone that wants to leave Afghanistan is allowed to leave .... the Taliban would be the only ones left.

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
