Cloudy ....

28th September 2022 (Wednesday)     09.15 .... We have a cloudy start to


the day....with the clouds being heavy enough cloud to give us a few spots o’ rain now and again;  that said it’s a nice enough morning to be out and about.... and... sunny spells could come our way later.

I’ve been for the papers (in the car), then had a short walk to the beach; the plan is to get the bike out when the aforementioned sunny spells arrive.   Right now it’s breakfast time. 


20.30   The Ferry Road sewage repair work continued today;  ‘Ipsum’ arrived with a huge drain sooker, and camera to check the drain... the broken sewage pipe has been cut, and it will be the ‘Clancy’ workmen’s job to fit the new bit of pipe and fill in the holes ready for the tarmac.   Although the ‘Diversion’ signs are still in place the cones have been moved aside at the top and bottom leaving a space for vehicles to get through.  That has been the excitement for today.


I never did get out on the bike;  for some reason my asthma cut in about 10.00 and didn’t calm down until late afternoon.....so I’ve had a ‘lazy’ day.  However, today I was able to finish two ‘Fiendishly Hard’ Sudoku’s that I had to leave a few days ago; a sign that my brain is getting back to normal after the latest round of jabs (last Wednesday). The weather has been a bit mixed so I was happy to sit in The Hutte doing Sudoku’s.... and have a long catnap.

With a fully charged battery on the bike I’m looking for a decent day to go up to Balcarres on the bike, but we’re going though an unsettled spell of weather just now.   ‘Sunny intervals and a gentle breeze’ is the forecast for tomorrow but there’s a chance of light showers.... so I doubt if I’ll do Balcarres tomorrow.   Anyway I might have action


on Ferry Road....the job should be finished on Friday.  The sewage pipes are not that deeply buried under the road surface, and.... with the weight of some of the vehicles I’ve seen on Ferry Road, it’s not surprising that the sewage pipes fracture.

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
