Cold easterly wind ....

11th March 2022 (Friday)   08.45 ....There’s a bitterly cold wind coming in


from the North Sea (I’ve been down at the harbour) and 'light showers' are  mentioned in the weather forecast.   At the moment it’s misty but dry.... and cold.  I won’t be going much further than Ivy gate today;  in fact, I’m sorry to say that I’ll be contributing to the shareholders in the energy companies today .... albeit a few notches lower than their central heating will be set at.   All that extra money we’re paying has to go into somebody’s pocket.  

I’m feeling good this morning;  oh.... I have sneezed a couple of times, but I’m feeling playful;  but won’t be going out to play.   Today is going to be a computer/TV and a multiple cuppas day.   

15.30    At one point this morning I wasn’t going further than the front gate;  well I changed my mind when the sub broke through about 09.30.   By 09.45 I was on the bike and on my way to Elie Estate;  there was a lovely ‘light’ around and I didn’t want to miss it.    At that time it wasn’t as windy as it is now....so it was reasonably warm in the sun....especially sheltered from the wind.    I photographed my way through the estate (the estate road has been really well ‘oovered and dusted by Stewart) then home by way


of Elie and Chapel Green.   By the time I got back to Ivy the wind had freshened and becoming a nuisance.... so I was glad to get in and put the kettle ‘on’.   The only thing is that I feel guilty about, is that the central heating wasn’t on, therefore I didn’t contribute to the energy company shareholders.   Anyway I enjoyed my bit of exercise.  It’s bitterly cold out there now;  and I definitely I won’t be going further than the gate.   I need to switch something ‘on’ .... oh aye.... the kettle.

21.30     I did a ‘Test’ this evening and it was ‘Clear’.  I’m happy being ‘outside the herd’;  until the warmer weather comes anyway.   

I see that we have a wet evening.... and the rain is to be with us, in the form of light


showers’, tomorrow.   Showers, in between spells of sunshine I like;  there might be interesting clouds around.    No ‘plan’ for tomorrow though I will go out at some point.

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
