Windy ....

28th January 2022 (Friday)      10.00 ....it’s overcast and windy this morning,


and the wind is going to freshen later today;   tomorrow it’s going to be really frisky... up to F9.   Not good.     It is actually warm for the time of year, though wind chill will be a factor.  A couple of computer days ahead for ‘The Boy’. 





21.30    It has been a strange day as far as the weather went: overcast and windy as forecast, with an ominous look to it.   Not a day that had me wanting to go out.   So I didn’t.   Luckily I was expecting a visitor, Nicola, and she arrived bang on time ....so I had someone to talk too.  We were talking about photographs.... and the villages in general.    As usual I talked too much but I certainly enjoyed our chat....  a positive ray of sunshine on a grey day,  thus doubly enjoyable.   Nicola had brought a pan of homemade soup;  my word it was delicious.   I used to make soup in the winter time; and I must get back into that habit again.     Homemade is much tastier than the shop bought.  Thank you Nicola;  for the soup, and being a good listener.

Most of the afternoon I worked on the computer browsing , and sorting photographs.   The team working at Ferry Corner made a load of progress today;  I don’t know if they will be back tomorrow, to finish off and get the road system back to normal.  

Erosion damage at the harbour.

The delivery I was expecting (hand-warmers) arrived today so I can relax.   They were down to be delivered on Monday;  which had me slightly worried, as I have an appointment at the Adamson (Cupar) then.... a blood test.

Today has been windy, but the wind is going to freshen overnight, and tomorrow is going to be wild, but brighter.    Strong winds and sunny intervals is the forecast;  another compute day.   I’ll go for the paper and go down to the harbour.   With sunny intervals in the forecast, tomorrow will be a more camera friendly 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 f...

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 l...

The morning after 'Storm Eowyn' ....

25th  January 2025 (Saturday)     08.30 .....  Well .... that was one frisky wind yesterday Candlelight evening....Unfortunately not a romantic one! afternoon;   from 14.30 to 17.30 it was absolutely ferocious.    And I got some damage at Ivy Cottage;  a ridge tile blew off, slid down the roof and broke the rhone (guttering I thinks it's called now) so that will have to be repaired.  A Red Warning of wind means damage and that's what we have;  not only at Ivy but at other places around Elie and Earlsferry.... and over the whole area of the red Warning.   I only hope no one was injured by stuff being blown around in the wind.    It's the worst wind I have ever experienced in Earlsferry.   I have never felt so useless .... and helpless.    My neighbour Mathew came round to see if I was OK.... which I really appreciated;  I enjoyed talking to him.... it calmed me down a bit.  ...
