Moody sky....

13th May 2022 (Friday)     09.30.... It was magical at the harbour this


morning;  Elie harbour is bonnie at any time but when there’s a moody sky .... my word it’s fantastical.   And there was a moody sky this morning. 

It’s going to be breezy most of the day so I may go out on the bike later but that depends on just how breezy it is;  the forecast is for frisky winds in the middle of the afternoon (F5)... a fresh breeze.  It’s F6 in the middle of the Firth just now.   Yes... I’ve been for the paper (in the car ‘cos there was light drizzle around) and enjoyed my visit to the harbour.   All is good down there;  it could be interesting at high tide.

15.30   It has been a fairly wild day, with infrequent sunny spells.   The wind is F6 on Largo Bay but it won’t be that on the beach;  not that I intend going to the beach just now.... I have been doing ‘ousework (Spring cleaning time) and watching ‘Scott of the Antarctic’ intermittently (not the best film to watch on a dull day).   I’m actually enjoying a quiet day... and ‘ousework is not hard the way I do it.   I don’t think I’ll be out the bike today.... unless the wind moderates in the evening.


19.30   The wind moderated but not enough to make me stop my ‘appy ‘ousework session.    Anyway tomorrow is going to be a slightly better day with more sunny intervals and less wind; that’s better ‘play day’ weather.  It’s strange me actually enjoying pottering around with ‘ousework;  probably because it was dull and windy out.  

I found athletics to watch on the TV so I’ve had a (surprisingly) enjoyable day.  I blame that virus I had for me enjoying staying ‘in’.   When I think about it the actual 4 days of the virus was ‘just a cold’;  in my case the after effects are much more discomforting.

22.00    The wind has dropped to F5 out in the Firth so we’ve had a much quieter


evening.   Having had a decent ‘rest day’ today I am contemplating going out on the bike early tomorrow morning... before the roads get busy; and if it isn’t too windy.... or cold in the earlier part of the morrrrrrrning.

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
