Overcast ....

31st July 2022 (Sunday)     06.30 ....Hmmmm; the sky is overcast and it does

This lorry was a surprise on a Sunday morning.

look like we could get spells of ‘light rain’, as mentioned in the weather forecast.  However it’s forecast to brighten up by midday, though there will still be the chance of showers.  There’s a cool, light breeze from the Northeast but we can look forward to a warm afternoon;  and I’m going to have another cuppa then go for a quick tour of the villages ....weather permitting.

10.15    All appears to be good in Elie and Earlsferry this morning;  but we do have a lot of visitors, going by the number of parked cars;  and I met a huge delivery lorry coming along Liberty. 

I think it’s going to be a bonnie day yet; apart from being overcast it’s a nice enough morning just now... and not cold, even with a breeze out of the Northwest.   And I remembered to go for the paper.


21.00   I have been a busy boy... at both work and play: ‘Housework’ being the ‘work part of the day, and watching the Commonwealth Games the ‘play part.    I had the rugby 7’s and track cycling to keep an eye on.   Then there was a football match for the rest of the day... (and probably for innumerable years).   The Lionesses beat Germany 2 – 1.  From what I saw it was a closely fought match that could have gone either way.   I was working in the bathroom so didn’t watch the whole game.... but I was watching when all three goals were scored funnily enough.

What am I doing tomorrow?   The best time to go biking is first thing in the morning so I’ll do that before breakfast:  then I’ll continue to ‘de mancave’ Ivy for Janice and Michael coming (11th August).   Ivy isn’t that man-cavish, but I have been using it as a ‘studio’ during the COVID crisis.  I enjoy doing the ‘work’ but it’s not as easy to do as it used to be.  

The weather forecast is good for the next few days so any washing that I need to do will


dry.   That reminds me I have an ironing to do... tomorrow.   I’m feeling tired so I’ll have the chocolate and browse the TV Channels.

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
