Overcast, but warm .....

12th February 2022 (Saturday)      09.00 .... Hmmmm ... it’s breezy, but not


as cold as it was yesterday;  that said .... it is exactly hot either.    The wind is F6 (Saipem 3000 by May Island),  and is forecast to freshen for a wee while around midday.   I think we might get a few sunny spells later;  the sky has a promising look to it..... and I’m feeling positive.

10.30    ‘JB’ has been on the phone and reminded that we have rugby this afternoon;   Wales v Scotland, followed by France v Ireland....  all of a sudden I have a busy day ahead.    Mostly in front of the tele, but I’ll have walk to the beach between games.

22.00     It has been breezy all day.... and Scotland lost to Wales; nevertheless I have really enjoyed myself today.  The GB girls beat the USA at curling; that was exciting:  after that I watched the ‘Big Hill’ ski jump.   My word....that jump is something else.  What I like about it is that it appears effortless:  you waggle your butt across that ‘seat’, place your skis in the tracks on the hill, the trainer waves the flag to say you have 10 seconds to ‘go;  you remove your butt from the seat and you’re on your way;  you leave


the end of the ramp, and gracefully, soar (albeit fast)’ down, parallel to the slope, until touchdown:    Absolutely marvellous.   It may appear effortless, but it takes courage and a load of training to be able to do that..   I don’t think we (GB) had a competitor on the ‘Big Hill’.  


Both rugby matches were exciting to watch.....Scotland narrowly lost to Wales 20 – 17, and France beat Ireland 30 -24.  In between the games I went out for a short ‘hirple’ to the beach.   My word;  the late afternoon light was beautiful, and the shower clouds magnificent;  luckily I had the camera with me.  The beach was busy with folk out enjoying the late afternoon sunshine ....and the clouds.   We were lucky; the showers were where they should be ....someplace else, so that we could admire the clouds!    Yep ... I have enjoyed ‘today’.  

Tomorrow is going to be cloudy, with ‘heavy rain and a moderate breeze’;  that said, we


might get lucky and miss most of the rain.   I have no plan for tomorrow;  other than sort out some more photos.

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
