Cool easterly breeze ....

22nd July 2022 (Friday)   09.00 .... With a fresh breeze from the East there’s a


noticeable drop in the temperature this morning;  but, other than that, it’s a bonnie start to the day.   I’ve been for the paper and had a quick trip to the harbour..... where I met, and chatted too, Neil.   Everything is where it should be down there....and, though it is cool just now I imagine the air will warm up by midday.




19.00    I’ve had a bonnie if slightly lazy day... no cancel ‘lazy’;  this has been  a rest day.   It’s the same thing but it suggests that I was active yesterday.    I like that.  


I went to the surgery and had blood taken then, on the way home I went up to the Kinneuchar Station road to get some photos of poppies with the kirk in the background.   Unfortunately I only had the wee camera with me, and the light wasn’t the best, but I took a couple anyway.   I met Jacqui and friends who had been for their morning walk;  it was good to catch up with Jacqui, I haven’t seen her for a while.   The plan is to go back and get some proper poppy photos with the Canon camera tomorrow.




22.30    Although not as exciting as a Stage with mountains in it, today’s Stage (19) was ‘supposed’ to end in a bunch sprint but didn’t: every Stage of this year’s Tour has been lively.... and thrilling to watch:  much more entertaining than it was when Team Sky was boring us all to bits.  Tomorrow we have a 40 kilometre time trial....the individual cyclists go off at two minute intervals with the leader (Yellow jersey) setting off last.   All I really need to watch is the last half hour... but I suspect I’ll watch the whole lot of them. 

‘Light cloud and a moderate breeze’ is our weather forecast for tomorrow and there’s a


‘chance of precipitation’ now and again.   It’s Elie Fayre Day at the Toll green in the afternoon;  I’d like to go to that but it all depends on how busy the roads are.   Tomorrow is a ‘changeover day’ and the roads could be busy in the middle if the day.   I suppose I could take the car along... but finding a parking space will be tricky.

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
