Windy ....

10th February2022 (Thursday)    06.30 .... The wind out in the Firth is at F7


just now, and is forecast to get up to F8 -9 by midday.    The street is wet after a heavy shower o’ rain, but ‘strong winds and sunny intervals’ is our weather for today;  no mention of rain/sleet/.    As things are at the moment I will go for the paper in the car, and give the beach a miss.

14.30    If it wasn’t for the wind (F6 out in Largo Bay) we would be enjoying a bonnie Spring like day.   However it is windy,  with the threat of a shower now and again so I have been pottering around Ivy.    I made use of the wind by  washing a couple of jerseys and they didn’t take long to dry so ... ‘it’s an ill wind that doesn’t do some good somewhere’.    It has been blowy all day, in fact it was blustery, with occasional spits of rain when I was at the harbour....(and I remembered to get the paper)!    I went to the harbour to catch, what turned out to be a bonnie sunrise from a sheltered corner.  


This morning I did some computer work;  and watched the Olympics.   This morning I found the most relaxing sport to watch;   long distance ice skating.    It was the Women’s 5000 metres Final.    The competitors are completely drained at the end of the race .... it only takes them 7 minutes to skate that distance.   They compete in twos, against the clock, so;  I start watching the first pair,  then woke up when the final pair were half way through the race.   Yes .... watching long distance skating is the way for me.   It really is a relaxing sport to watch. 

 21.00    The wind has died down and the air is colder, but it will be a calmer day tomorrow.    Tomorrow we have the ‘Elie’ walk at 10.00:  I shall go for the blether before the start of the walk.   If it is calm enough, and not too cold, I’ll bike up to Elie.   I think the skiffs are going to be on the water tomorrow morning.    It could be an interesting morning.

I’ve just had a look at the weather forecast and see that we are going to have a cold


night;  down to -2C.... followed by ‘sunny intervals with a fresh breeze’ tomorrow.    Oh dear ....I’m not likin’ this cauld weather.   Orf to make the chocolate and have an early night.   Loads to do tomorrow.

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...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
