Slightly damp ....

6th September 2022 (Tuesday)     08.15 .... the sky is overcast after some


overnight rain, but the forecast  for KY9 is, ‘thundery showers with a moderate breeze’ by lunch time.   Thundery showers should give us sunny spells with interesting clouds;  I’m thinkin’ it could be a motivating kind o’ day....with the chance of precipitation near enough to enjoy the clouds, but far enough away to miss the precipitation.   It’s breakfast time.

20.30    Welll... the sunny spells were few and far between.... and we got our share of the precipitation;  however the clouds were not overly exciting.... not until the evening when a big storm moved in off the North Sea making for the Dundee area.   That was impressive:  unfortunately I was in the car (and it was raining) so didn’t get any photos.   The ‘red sky at night etc.’ last night was ever so slightly wrong!

Alice and I cancelled the Pittenweem Braes plan and had lunch (provided by Alice), then went to Kellie Castle, where we spent an enjoyable hour on a guided tour, with ‘Barbara’ as the Guide, .....an excellent and edifying way to spend a dull afternoon.   We went back to Ivy and had a cuppa and blether, followed by denner at 17.00 before I took Alice back home.... after a very enjoyable day.

There’s only one set of temporary traffic lights on the way to Leven;  operating on the A915 from the top of Largo Brae to the Lower Largo junction at the beginning of Lundin Links.   The Lundin Links Hotel has been converted into a heap of bricks, so that part of the A915 is fully operational again.

Today’s  weather was a bit of a letdown;  the only exciting cloud I saw was the one I mentioned.... but it was spectacular.    We’re forecast to have ‘light cloud and a moderate breeze’ tomorrow... probably with the chance of light showers now and again.  I will be looking for sunny spells and interesting clouds.   I am going to a crafty thing in Letham Glen tomorrow morning;  it will be different from my normal activities and I look forward to seeing what it is all about, and hope to contribute something to the morning.... even if it’s only to chat and have a cuppa with somebody.   I’ll look out something to take with me though it will probably be research stuff.

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
