Mmmmm .... showery looking sky

23rd May 2022 (Monday)    07.30 .... at the moment the sky is overcast and


we’ve had a light shower o’ rain;  not very promising looking.... certainly not for going out on the bike.   Spells of sunshine are mentioned in our weather forecast for today ...unfortunately so are showers.   I might take the car up to Kinneuchar.

12.30    I did take the car up to Kinneuchar;  the air (drifting down from the Central Belt), was really bad this morning.... until heavy showers of rain further West cleaned it (the air) about 11.30.   When the cleaner air reaches us (asthmatics) the relief is instantaneous.... and very noticeable:  Anyway, enough of ‘asthma talk’.   I managed to get the photos and measurements I wanted so I’m a happy boy.   I still need to have some exercise (bike) but I’ll leave that until later in the afternoon.... or evening.

16.30    So far I have had a laz ... restful afternoon, sitting in The Hutte doing Soduko’s and chatting to Blob.   Blob and Wife of Blob are feeding young ones;  I expect the ‘Bloblings’ will make an appearance in a couple of weeks.   It has been a nice afternoon but shower clouds have been around;  in fact one such cloud looks like it might cause a spot of dampness very soon.    I might get the bike out in the evening. 


‘M’ hasn’t been on Skype for the past couple of evenings:  20.00 (UK time) is our usual time, but Colin (her son) was there for the weekend so she will have been busy.  It will be Tuesday in New Zealand this evening so I imagine she will be back in action tonight.

I’ve done a wee bit o’ ousework today but quite honestly this has been a ‘rest day’;  I’m hoping for a better and more active day tomorrow.  I see spots o’ rain on the window so we are catching the edge of a shower cloud;  it should clear the air. 

18.30    I’m happy enough with what I have achieved today;  it wisnae much but it disnae take much to make me happy.   The air seems fresher since that rain  shower;  it kinda looks like we could get another one.   I’m thinkin’ the bike won’t be out today;  I was hoping to have a run round Earlsferry at least.  Never mind;  I might get some physical activity tomorrow.

21.30     We had an interesting sky so I had a slow wander to the beach in the evening....


and I mean slow.    My word.... that virus I had was nothing at the time.... but the after effects are ‘something else.    It has certainly agitated my breathing tubes:  I’m fine on the bike but walking can be a struggle sometimes.

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
