Overcast and cool ....

29th April 2022 (Friday)     09.00 ....the sky is overcast just now, but the sun


should that off by late morning; I certainly hope it does ‘cos I want to go out on the bike today, and right now it’s too cauld for me biking.   

Super yacht ‘St Nicolas’ is on her way to Leith this morning;  unfortunately there’s low mist, she is white, and moving up the south side o’ the Firth so no photographs of her this morning.   I hope to catch her on the way out.    She was owned by Vasily Anisimov (Russian billionaire) but he sold her in 2017.   I don’t know who is the present owner, but she can be chartered;  which is most likely why she is now heading for Leith.    I wonder who has chartered her?

14.00    After a dullish (and cool) morning we have a lovely, warm afternoon;  yep... I shall take a turn up to Chapel Green;  after a cuppa to waken me up.   Oh dear ... you won’t believe this:  last night I was watching ‘New Tricks’ and it finished at 23.40.... which is late for me.   Well.... I fell asleep and missed the last 10 minutes and don’t know who the guilty party was.... out of three potentials.    I couldn’t get to sleep for trying to work out who it would be!  Now I’ll have to keep checking for that episode coming round again.


I’ve had a lazy morning (had a migraine) but I am feeling sort of frisky now;  orf to make that cuppa.

17.00   I enjoyed two bike runs up to Chapel Green;  the first one without a card in the camera.... the second one with!    What a cracker of an afternoon, the first time I’ve really enjoyed being on the bike for a few weeks.  I had a ‘bug’ four weeks ago ....it didn't seem bad enough to be to be ‘the bug’ so I didn't do a test ... but it’s taking a bit of shaking orf.    Anyway I enjoyed  my outing in warm sunshine, today;  in fact I may take a walk to the beach in the evening.

21.30    I’m going to bed much earlier than I did last night:  I’m not a late night person.    I hope to get out on the bike tomorrow to have a look at the scarecrows dotted


around the villages; however that will depend on the weather.  The forecast isn’t as good as I’d hoped it would be ‘light rain showers and a moderate breeze’.

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
