Damp ....

28th June 2022 (Tuesday)   08.00 ....The sky is overcast, the roads are wet and


the forecast says “a high chance of precipitation”; it’s raining.   Actually it was fair when I went to the door a few minutes ago so the rain should move away by mid morning.   The garden is wet so I won’t be doing much there this morrrrrrrning;  hopefully it will dry quickly, and the showers have long sunny spells between them.

10.30    Because of the rain I went to ‘The Store’ to do a shopping.... anticipating hoping for a dry, and sunny, afternoon.   The Store wasn’t busy but the roads were;  even the back road via Kellie was busy.   Then again it is the ‘oliday season and I have the feeling that the East Neuk is going to be busy this summer.

I inadvertently picked up a small ‘goodie’ from the Bakery shelf so I am orf to make the ‘MC’ (morning coffee) and enjoy a ‘Yum Yum’.   It’s only a skinny doughnut....  covered with icing... so there won’t be many calories in it:  but it will be full of “energy giving succulents”.



15.30    The 'hoover' has it’s ‘sook’ back;  the bags arrived this morning.   I’ve done a basic ‘oover just to see if it’s working better;  it is.   It has been a drab kind o’ day;  light rain on and off all day so far.   I went to Elie to pick up a prescription, and down to the ‘arbour.   I stopped at The Toft to take a few photos, but by the time I got to the harbour the rain was too heavy to bother leaving the car.   The evening might be brighter;   mind you the sky is still heavily overcast, so not very promising.







20.00  Well ..the weather has been a bit dour today; that said I did see a big blue patch earlier but it didn’t last long.  The wind has been off the water so it has been cool.    I’m not complaining ‘cos I’ve had another much needed rest day:  I don’t think I have ever been as physically tired as I was yesterday.   The fatigue that comes with the virus is one of the worst after effects.  That said .... I have been doing some fairly heavy work in the


garden over the past week, and it finally caught up with me.   Anyway I feel back to normal now and looking forward to doing some work (light) in the garden tomorrow.   The weather is going to be brighter than today, “light showers and a moderate breeze from the SE”.

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
