Overcast .....

9th November 2021 (Tuesday)   09.00 .... The sun is starting to burn off the


heavy cloud we had earlier (I’ve been for the paper) and we should have the some long sunny spells before lunch time.... with a lovely afternoon to go out and ‘play’.   It was quiet at the harbour (at 07.20) and I could see that sunrise was going to be hidden by low cloud.   The ‘Thing’ continues to trundle up and down the Firth, and will do so until the weather is calm enough, in the North Sea, for it to be set in place, ready for wind turbine to fit on top.   I’m not sure which wind farm it will end up at: ‘NNG’ off Crail, or ‘Seagreen’ off Montrose.


20.30    I enjoyed a run to Kinneuchar via Elie and Balbuthie, on what was  a really pleasant afternoon;  it was a good day for the camera.    Shona suddenly appeared, seemingly from ‘nowhere’, when I was taking photos at the Balbuthie junction corner:  she had passed by in her car and I didn’t see her.   I’m like that when looking through the viewfinder.     Anyway we had a chat, then Shona went off to put the kettle on, and I went about getting the photographs I wanted, before joining Shona at her residence for afternoon coffee;  and a good catch up with each other’s ‘news’.   It was warm enough to sit out in a sunny corner of her garden:  A very pleasant afternoon.

The wind had freshened, and the sun was low in the Western sky by the time I set off for


home;  this meant that the sun was in my eyes when travelling West,  luckily that was only for about a total distance of 500 metres.  It was only an inconvenience and certainly didn’t spoil my afternoon.

The weather forecast for tomorrow looks good;  ‘sunny intervals with a moderate breeze’.   I’ll bike for the paper(s) early, then go to the ‘Pav’ for morrrrrning coffee with Myra, at the History Society coffee morning ‘get together’.   Geoff would be there but is in the ‘dry dock’ just now, having had a fall at home.

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
