Overcast and breezy ....

3rd June 2022 (Friday)     08.30 .... There’s a brisk wind from the NE and it’s not


as warm as I’d hoped for, so I took the car to go for the paper.   I’ll get the bike out in the afternoon to browse the ‘istory Society Exhibition.... if the wind isn’t too frisky.   The sky is overcast just now; but the sun should burn the cloud by morrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee time.   I thought the air felt warmer when I first ventured at 06.30.   I showered at the more reasonable time of 06.00.

09.30   I took a few photos from the harbour:  when I downloaded them I noticed that the Union Flag was upside down (probably somebody messing about last night).   Thankfully Angus (Elie Water Sports) has fixed it.    Flying the union Flag upside down is a distress signal.... or ... an insult to HM The Queen. 


 18.00   It has been a bonnie day but I had to stay within the confines of Ivy because of the East wind, so I did a spot of gardening ... and watched the Jubilee Service from St Pauls.  Some days are good days and some are not so good;  this was a not so good one.    I’m having more of the good days now so I must be on the mend.   I had hoped to go to the beach, but that was definitely a no go area for me.   I did the ironing and sorted out a washing for tomorrow morning.   Another good drying day.

21.30   Welll... we’ve had a bonnie day, and warm sheltered from the wind.   I’ve had a restful day:  the plan was to go to the History Society Exhibition this afternoon but decided to ‘potter’ around Ivy away from the wind.   Depending on how I feel I’ll visit the exhibition tomorrow morning.   I’m actually going to be ‘on duty’ on Sunday afternoon, by which time the ‘team’ will be getting ready to dismantle the exhibition, so I should have a quiet time.   I do ‘quiet’ very well.

We have a very peaceful end to the day;  the breeze has dropped away... and there’s a red

Is that a 'Royal' pigeon on the steps?

sunset so we can look forward to a bonnie day tomorrow.   I had big plans for this weekend but sadly they have ‘fallen by the wayside’;  I hope to be ‘frightfully frisky’ tomorrow.   It’s chocolate time now... followed by an early night in bed.    Oh the ‘Bloblings’ are not far away and I expect to see them tomorrow.

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
