Bright and breezy (weather too) ....

10th June 2022 (Friday)     08.15 ....Blue sky all over ... wellll, the sky


actually... so it’s a bonnie start to the day.    There’s a frisky wind from the West (F4), which is going to freshen, with the chance of precipitation, in the afternoon.   I’ll get the bike out and go for the paper .... might even go via Elie Estate.... after hanging out a washing,.... I had an early breakfast.   I notice lumps of cotton wool clouds bumbling over so the 'bloo' sky is starting to look interesting; and I'm ready for another cuppa.

16.00   It has been a lovely day... and I may have a touch of the sun.   I went for the paper in the car, then had an early morrrrrrrrning coffee before going out on the bike in the warm sunshine.   Mind you I wasn’t in the sun coming through Elie Estate but I had been out to Kinneuchar Station.   Since then I have been fiddling about with cameras....falling asleep in The Hutte.... and am now about to iron the bits of washing that need it.    It has been a perfect drying day.


22.00   I intended going up to Chapel Green in the evening but we’ve had a couple of squally showers so I’ve decided to cancel that plan... and put the kettle ‘on’ instead.   In between the showers it is fine but the gaps in between are short.   I’ll go out early in the morning;  the forecast is for strong winds all day, but it’s sometimes quiet(er) at 06.00.   By strong I mean F7 – 8.

I’ve enjoyed today;  the wind being from the Westerly direction means my breathing is better:  not back to where it was pre virus but there’s noticeable improvement.   A decent few weeks o’ summer weather is what we all need.

I see that there’s new variant of the virus causing the case numbers to rise again.   For


people with breathing problems could mean going back to being cautious regarding socialising.   I know that I wouldn’t want to go backwards... now that I’m starting to feel better.

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 f...

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 l...
