Cloudy but warm ....

2nd May 2022 (Monday)    06.30 ....I’d like to say it was ‘bright and sunny’....


but it isn’t;  it’s actually overcast and warm-ish with a light breeze....which is good, but ‘bright and sunny and warm’ was what I had been dreaming about.... however, brighter bits in the general greyness would cheer things up.  Light showers could ‘drop in’ later.  I’ll bumble down to the harbour after another cuppa.

07.00    The wind has freshened since I first looked out an hour ago.... and backed to the SSE (it was SW earlier);  we now have frisky breeze....and it’s ‘not warm-ish’.   The ‘bumble to the harbour plan’ is on hold  and a computer day, with numerous cuppas, more appealing.


11.30   We have light drizzle now so it’s definitely a drawing/computer day;  not a day for bumbling to the harbour.   Not on the bike anyway;  but I might take a turn down there later in the afternoon in the car.  In the meantime I’m going back to the drawing board(s).... and yet another cuppa.

18.30    It has been a dreich kind o’ day.... but that didn’t stop me enjoying myself.   I never went out on the bike.... in fact I didn’t go out in the car, but for some reason I felt ‘positive’ and got on with the drawing while watching the snooker final.   I suppose I’d have to admit that I’ve had a ‘lazy’ day physically, but I’ll make up for that on Wednesday;  tomorrow is going to be much like today, as far as weather goes; according to the forecasters.    Wednesday should bring sunny spells and a change in wind direction for a few days. 

20.30   The workmen have been dismantling the Wedding marquee today....so it’s all


quiet until HM’s Jubilee Celebrations which will be the next ‘event’ in the villages....and there’s a lot being planned for that day.   I’ll have to tidy up Ivy before then.

I get the result of my Blood Test tomorrow;  then I have a phone appointment with my Asthma Nurse (Gill) on the 10th.   It’s the asthma that has been bothering me most (not today strangely enough) and the breathing exercises do seem to be helping.

‘No plan’ for tomorrow... other that drawing/ computer: and staying in for the phone appointment at 09.40.  I have bits of paper placed at strategic places; front of computer inside front door etc. so I shouldn’t be diverted.   Even if the sun is shining!

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
