Bright and very breezy ....

2nd November 2022 (Tuesday)      09.00 .... The Ferry Road ‘hole’ is being


finished as I type;  the traffic lights might be removed later today.   I’ll miss them (the lights).... I regarded them as friendly things, (albeit a   bit of a nuisance);  as a safety thing they were brilliant, they reducing the speed of the traffic coming down Ferry Road.

There’s a frisky old breeze this morning, but I had my early morning wander to the beach.... and the air feel colder.   That said it’s a nice morning for being out;  the wind is freshening and should reach F6 -7  in the afternoon. 

I’m going to take the car up to Elie for the paper (and milk)....and have the mandatory run down to the harbour after breakfast.   I have the ‘Friendship Lunch’ in the kirk hall at 12.30 .... food and friendly chat;  luv’ that.

14.30    The ‘Friendship Lunch’ was slightly quieter than the October one.... probably because of the weather conditions.  It’s wet and windy now... but the wind isn’t as fresh as was expected;  it’s F5 where the ‘Carlo Martello’ is, out in the Firth.

'Airlie' hedge.

This morning I bought a couple o’ scones planning to go up to Shona’s after the Friendship Lunch, but the weather changed my mind:  I’ll bike up to Kinneuchar on Friday.    Friday’s forecast is good for biking;  let’s hope it disnae change.   I’ll devour the two scones I bought today (one with my mid afternoon cuppa today... and the other tomorrow) and buy fresh ones on Friday.

21.00    It’s a wild and wet evening, but that didnae stop the bloke who came to dismantle and take away the Ferry Road traffic lights.  He arrived at 18.30....just as the weather was at its wildest and wettest; so, thanks to one dedicated workman, it’s all ‘go’ on Ferry Road again.

‘Sunny intervals and a fresh breeze’ is the weather forecast us tomorrow; obviously the

Smart lookin' patch.

rain is expected to move away overnight.  Actually that means tomorrow could be a good drying day, so I might do a washing.   Friday, as far as I can make out, is the day to go out on the bike.

‘Rural Developments’ are making good progress next door;  as are ‘Tidy Gardens’ at Airlie, where they, Tidy Gardens’ are planting a shelter hedge.   It’s ‘Go’ all around me.   I’ll do a wee bit o’ work in the garden.

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
