Blustery showers ....

30th September 2022 (Friday)     09.15.... It was breezy on the beach at


sunrise... but not as cold as I’d expected it to be.   Caroline and Steve, here on holiday from Cumbria, joined me on the beach, with their new Westie; I first met Caroline and Steve 7 years ago, but hadn’t seen them for a few years, so we enjoyed a spectacular sunrise, while we catching up with each other’s ‘news’.   Since then spells of rain have started to blow through on the wind so it isn’t a pleasant day out; but it’s bonnie as long as you are sheltered from the wind... and occasional spells o’ rain.... sometime heavy.   Bring on the sunny spells.



14.30    At last, after a wet and windy few hours, the sky is starting to show promising signs.... I’m looking forward to an evening of sunny spells.   I haven’t done very much today.... apart from wash the dishes (switched 'on' dishwasher) and watch the snooker.   The tables are surrounded by the most boring advertising graphics I’ve ever seen.... “CAZOO Search. Drive. Smile.”.... so I had to find out what a ‘Cazoo’ is;  it’s an online second-hand car selling and buying website.   Hey the sun is breaking through;  the sunny spells are with us.... unfortunately so is the wind (F7 out in the Firth), but it is starting to calm down.  I’m going to have another cuppa then venture out to The Hutte.


22.00    Well, a wild day ended up bright and sunny.... and breezy but nothing like the wind we had in the middle part of the day.    I assume it was the weather that prevented the Ferry Toad holes being filled in today;  I wonder if they will work tomorrow to get the job finished?    This is the Fife holiday weekend.

I gave up watching the snooker;  the advertising annoyed me.   Instead, I made Eve’s Pudding with the apples I got from Anne and some off my own tree;  and it turned out perfectly.  The only thing was ... I didn’t have custard!... but that didn’t stop me enjoying it.... and I got two for the freezer so a reasonably productive day.   I’ll buy custard powder the next time I go shopping.

This had been a funny old day for me;  but we get days like that.   I’m hoping to get out


on the bike tomorrow.... the forecast is good.... breezy with sunny intervals’; but it’s the equinoctial gales season so it might be too windy.

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
