WEt and windy ....

 

31st October 2021 (Sunday)   10.00 .... we have a wild, wet and windy,


morning.   I went out on the bike early to miss the rain, and actually enjoyed doing the ‘round the villages’ at sunrise time.    The rain began at 09.15, and I am ensconced it Ivy, with a cuppa at hand.    We had a bonnie sky at sunrise time (sunrise happened behind low cloud), which I viewed from Chapel Green, but there was a fresh wind coming from the southeast, so it wasn’t warm.   The rain is forecast to be  of the ‘heavy showers’ kind, so we might have a few sunny spells between showers.    It’s a computer day for me;   I have a whole load of photographs to 'play' with.



21.00    Wellll .... we had a bonnie sunrise.... and a bonnie sunset.   The bit in between was mostly windy and ‘damp’.    Luckily I took advantage of both sunrise and sunset, and got some exercise.    Out on the bike in the morning, and had a walk up to the Pony Field and golf course in the evening.     The wind had moderated by evening time and it was really pleasant out.... and a bonnie sunset sky made it perfect.    It didn’t turn red, as I’d hoped, but was spectacular nonetheless.    I imagine, if Tom and Felix were on their way to Edinburgh, (Tom stopped on the way up Ferry Road) they would enjoy a stunning sunset, albeit not the best appreciated when driving into it!


This is the first time I have felt able to walk up to the Pony Field since I twisted my bad knee, going down onto the beach, a couple of weeks ago;  as long as I don’t overdo it.    I met Irene on the way home;  she was out looking for a kitten (I think).   No... it wisnae Ken.   Irene was looking well, and enhanced what was already a bonnie evening.   I can’t imagine the golf course without Irene, but apparently she is not allowed to actually play golf just now:  hopefully she will be back playing in the Spring.   At least she can still bowl.

‘Drizzle and a fresh breeze’ is the forecast for tomorrow;   another day when that will


have to be ‘played by ear’.   The bike has a fully charged battery, and I had hoped to have a run up to Colinsburgh or Balcarres, but I think tomorrow might be too chancy for a longish run.   I’ve been feeling friskier for the past couple of days;  tomorrow could be a ‘play’ day.

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
