Interesting sky ....

26th April 2022 (Tuesday)    08.00 .... there’s been some rain overnight;  in


fact it was raining at 05.30 so I went back to bed,.... and eventually got ‘up’ at 06.30.   It’s a bonnie morning now, though there are some shower clouds around;  but they make the sky interesting....as long as they are ‘over there and not here’.   At the moment they look a bit too near ‘here’ for my likin’.  The light wind is mostly from the NNE this morning... and cool.

11.00    ‘The Boy’ has been busy.   With the sky being mostly overcast,.... and spits and spots o’ rain, I decided to go to Leven to do some shopping.   The roads were busy (they mostly always are nowadays- compared to pre COVID).... but the mission was accomplished in ‘nae time’.    Both the shops I visited were quiet.   The ‘Master Plan’ for the remainder of the day is to have a walk to the beach .... after morrrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee and if there’s nae spits and spots o’ rain.    We should have sunny spells in the afternoon.


21.00    We eventually had a brighter afternoon, and I louped intae the car and went for a run to Kinneuchar then Elie harbour.   It was a bonnie enough afternoon but the cold wind agitated the auld breathing tubes;  which is why I didn’t go out on the bike.   The tide was out so I enjoyed a walk among the boats in the harbour.   The harbour was quiet but it was late in the afternoon and folks would be thinking of ‘food’:  it was good seeing the Ship Inn busy.   This summer looks like being normal.....let’s hope we have a warm... even hot one.

I did some ‘ousework today;  in fact most of the day has been spent staying ‘in’, and warm.... and ‘ousework suited that purpose.   No ‘ousework tomorrow...and I don’t have a ‘plan’.   The weather (wind direction) dictates my activities.   I need a change of wind

'EDT Jane' - offshore supply vessel.

direction and I don’t think that’s going to happen until Thursday.   I have an appointment with Laurie (Nurse) on Thursday morning (Blood Test)...and we, Kirsty, Myra, Geoff and Alberto, are going to the ‘Rockies’(Anstruther) for lunch.... so Thursday is a busy 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 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...
