Interesting clouds....

20th November 2022 (Sunday)     10.00....we have bonnie enough morning,


after some overnight rain;  whether there is more rain to come is in the lap of the Gods:  in the meantime wee have an interesting sky.   Iain went to the beach for sunrise;  I was in the shower.    After the sun broke through I had a short walk up to the golf course .... and took a few photos;  I’m a happy boy.




14.30    Iain set off for Auchnagatt about 13.00 and should have a, mostly, dry journey home.  There are showers around.... we’ve just had one ... but it didn’t last long.   At the moment I’m having a cuppa before having a daunder to the beach;  the late afternoon is looking bonnie....and I need some photographs to ‘play’ with this evening.

19.30    It was a bonnie later afternoon, and I wasn’t the only one enjoying it;  the beach was busy.  It’s good to see the villages busy at this time of year;  usually they are quiet.    The pandemic changed where people are taking their holidays.... and we have become a desirable holiday destination.    We always were;  but more people know about Elie and Earlsferry now:  and the whole of the East Neuk.


I had a ‘main’ course and a sweet for my main meal tonight;  the sweet was a ‘piece and jam’.   Iain brought a jar of Jackie’s homemade raspberry jam.   Actually I think I’ll be a glutton and have another piece and jam .... that will cheer me up.

Iain and I had a successful day today;  the main success being the shower.   The shower unit didn’t have to be replaced ‘cos it was a slack connection in the meter cupboard.   Anyway that has been done and I have had a shower!   I’ve been swithering about keeping a car at this time, but, since the buses stopped coming to The Ferry ( few years ago) there’s really no alternative.    So I take the car to Leven tomorrow to get it booked and get it’s MOT bits and pieces done.   There’s nothing catastrophic... the biggest item being a new headlamp.  

The weather forecast ‘sunny intervals and a moderate breeze’;  it could be a good drying


day!   I’m going to put a washing through the machine, so that it can be hung out first thing in the morrrrrning.

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
