Overcast but warmer ....

15th April 2022 (Friday)    06.30 ....it’s a quiet morning;  the sky is overcast


and there’s only a light breeze (Easterly); not a great drying day.   I’m having a cuppa before going for a paper and taking a run down to the harbour ..... in the car.    I’m feeling considerably less stressed than I was yesterday, and looking forward to pottering about day;  I might even go out on the bike later as the air feels warmer..... and the sun is trying harder to break through.

09.30    I’ve been for the paper (in the car)... and down to the harbour where it was pleasing to see the boats back on the water.... well they would have been on the water if the tide hadn’t been out.    I came home by way of Abercrombie, the Colinsburgh straight and Kinneuchar to give the car battery a good charge.   I’m now having a cuppa before deciding what to do next.   We had a short sunny spell when I was at the harbour but the sky is mostly overcast now;  apart from a clear sky over the Lammermuir Hills. 


12.00    The sun is fighting a losing battle trying to burn off the cloud.... it is a dour looking day now, and colder than it was when I was at the harbour this morning, but at least it’s dry.    I won’t be biking today;  unless we get a late batch of sunny spell;  so it looks like being a computer afternoon for ‘the boy’.

16.45    I enjoyed the best time of the day at the harbour in the early morning;  since then it has been colder but the sky is brightening up as I type.   It’s too cold for the bike but I might have a short walk in the evening.   I’ve had a lazy day but after yesterday’s ‘excitement’ a lazy day is ‘iggzactly’ what I needed.   I think tomorrow is forecast to be warmer. 

Going by the number of cars going down Ferry Road the villages are busy; which is good, as long as they are not choc-a-bloc.   I’ll get up early tomorrow morning and go out, on the bike, before the roads are busy.

21.30   I had a walk up to the Pony Field late in the early evening;  the sun was breaking


through now and again making for an interesting sky and light.  The golf course was busy so I got a few moody misty shots of players coming along the 17th fairway.  

I have already said that the ‘plan’ is to get 'up and out' early tomorrow morrrrrning.... I'll then potter around Ivy for the remainder of the day;  there’s much needing to be done in the garden..

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
