Overcast and breezy ....

26th February 2022 (Saturday)      08.30 .... I expected to be stiff and sore


after yesterday’s work efforts, but I’m feeling, surprisingly, good.    I went to the beach at sunrise time:  I knew there was never going to be a visible sunrise, but I love the magical feeling, when I crest the dunes at the bottom of Ferry Wynd and the vista open up before me.... that’s always worth getting up early for.     There is a brisk breeze, and it is forecast to freshen with high tide, but it’s never going to be as windy as what we had a few days ago. 



16.30     Mmmmm.... this has been a good ‘rest day’  but watching Scotland lose 17 – 36 at Murrayfield wasn’t very ‘calming’.... however, it was  an entertaining game, and an enjoyable’ way to spend a bit of the afternoon.  England v Wales is on at 16.45.     Time for a walk to the beach... or a cuppa?   Beach then cuppa. 


21.30   It’s cold tonight, but the forecast for tomorrow is ‘sunny with a fresh breeze’.    So a nice enough day but it will be cool.

I’ve had a ‘lazy’ day mostly.   I ironed yesterdays washing, but didn’t do anything in the garden etc.  My efforts, in the garden yesterday, caught up with me when I was helping Poirot solve a crime;  however we were both successful in our separate endeavours.   Poirot solved the crime and I woke up refreshed, after a long cat nap.  If I’m fully recovered tomorrow, I have a fully charged battery on the bike, so....if it isn’t too cold and windy, I might go for longer run on the bike.

I got my blood test result today and I don’t have to go back for six months, (instead of three months).  A whole six months without Fudge Doughnuts!   I might have to make a special trip to Cupar. 

The ‘plan’ is to go for the paper early tomorrow morrrrrrrning, have a bumble to the


beach, then, over breakfast, make my mind up as to whether I’ll go out on the bike once I see how the weather is settling down.   I’m thinkin’ it’s time for the hot chocolate, and a quick look at the ‘News’ (depressing) then orf to bed.

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
