Damp and breezy .... ....

26th October 2021 (Tuesday)     08.30 .... ‘Strong winds and rain’ is


the forecast for KY9 this morning, and.... strong winds and rain we have; thankfully, the rain isn’t heavy.... not just now anyway.  It’s a morning for finding something decent to watch on the tele, working, or reading a book.   The rain should move away by early afternoon.... leaving us with the fresh wind to dry the wet roads, and give me a chance to get out.

15.30    I have a funny feeling that the bike won’t be out today:  There has been an improvement in the weather, and the roads are beginning to dry, but we continue to have spells of Scotch Mist type wetness.... so it’s back to the kettle and the computer.     I looked for a decent film to watch, so that I could have a catnap, but couldn’t find anything:  let’s face, the tele is being used as an advertising platform with bits of film between the adverts: encouraging folk to buy stuff they don’t need .... ‘1984’ (George Orwell) is here.


21.00    It hasn’t been the bonniest of days, as far as the weather went;  but.... I did see a few blue patches late in the afternoon.    I’ve had a fruitful day, mostly on the computer;   I did go for the paper in the middle of the morning (by car) but ended up going to the harbour.... and forgetting the paper on the way home.    The harbour was unexpectedly busy with holiday makers;  it wasn’t actually raining at that time, so they were taking advantage of that.... as I was.   The sky was clear along the ‘sooth side’, which had me thinking I’d be out on the bike in the afternoon.

No ‘plans’ for tomorrow, but I might eventually get out on the bike.   The forecast is a bit iffy ....


‘light rain showers and a moderate breeze’ .... but brighter, and bonnier, than today.   That said I was happy with the ‘dull day’ photos I got this morning.

There’s a chance that the microwave that I ordered yesterday, could be delivered tomorrow; I’ll have to check the tracker before going out.   I didn’t expect it to be on its way so soon.   I never pay extra for ‘fast’ delivery;  ‘slow’ delivery is fast enough.

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
