Breezy ....

15th February 2022 (Tuesday)      07.30 .... I was all set to go to the beach


but spots of rain started blowing in the wind (F5) so I’ll leave going to the beach until later in the day... sunny intervals are coming our way soon.   We’ve had some rain overnight, and showers are forecast for today, but it should be bonnie day.  

 15.00   Today has been a ‘bright and breezy’ day.... and it has been slightly cooler than it was yesterday:  too cold and windy for me to go out on the bike.   I’ve had a quiet day ‘in’ so far;  watching the Winter Olympics and  doing stuff on the computer now and again.     I’ll go to the beach in a wee while.... once the tide has gone out a bit.

The 15 year old ROC skater was in action today;  there’s no denying it she is graceful..... and I’m glad she was allowed to continue.   It must have been hard, skating with that cloud over her.... at such a young age.    This must raise the question of 'young adults(?)'  competing in the Olympics.   I'm sure there was a lassie of 12 competing in the snowboard at the last Olympics.


18.30    It wisnae warm on the beach this afternoon;  but a few people were out walking....  and we had an interesting sky.    I had intended staying until sunset but it was too cold;  and it looked like the setting sun would be hidden behind low clouds anyway.    I was happy to go back up to Ivy.








21.30    One of my favourite programmes on the television is ‘Secrets of the Transport Museum’;  tonight they had a replica of a 1910 Boxkite plane (built 1960), from the Shuttleworth Collection (Bedfordshire), flying.   I thought they would only do  circle of the landing field, but it was probably 300 feet or so up and flying properly.... well as ‘properly’ as it could fly, at 30 – 40 mph.  It would be magic to actually see that.  

It looks like it could be wet tomorrow morning;  I have no ‘plan’ for tomorrow.... the


forecast is for ‘light rain showers and strong winds’ (yellow warning).... so I won’t be going out on the bike.   There’s curling (Olympics) on at 06.05 tomorrow morning so my day will start with watching that;  a good, way to start my 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
