Damp and misty ....

2nd December 2022 (Friday)   07.45.... There’s a bit of mist this morning....


I don’t think I’ll bother with the beach at this time;  but I’ll keep an ‘eye on the sky’ in case it brightens up in the next 15 minutes.    I have a prescription to pick up so won’t go out until after 09.00....hopefully on the bike as , although damp, it’s a quiet morning’  ‘thick cloud and a gentle breeze, with a chance of light precipitation (drizzle)’ is forecast for our area.

12.00   ‘The Boy’ (that’s me) has been busy this morning:  I’ve been to Elie (in the car) picked up my prescription and the paper;  and had a long chat to Anna who was waiting for the X60 bus.   This weather is not enticing me out today.... at least not so far.   Should the sun breakthrough I might go out on the bike, but I don’t think that is going to happen.    I have much to do in Ivy; so won’t be bored.


18.30   Well the sun never broke through so I didn’t go out on the bike.   I wasn’t that keen anyway because I was busy with other things. One of the ‘things’ I did was sent in my gas and electricity readings;  at that time I was £959 in credit.   It will be interesting to see what the credit figure is later tonight, after they’ve sorted it all out. 

With the weather being drab looking I never went to the beach today.... that’s actually ‘good’.... because it means there’s no sand to ‘oover up!    Tomorrow is going to be slightly brighter;  I am looking for sunny spells, but I don’t think it’s going to be warm.   

22.30    I’ve been working late on the computer (for me) tonight;  when I get into


something interesting it’s hard to stop.   Anyway I’m now finished for the night and will have my mug o’ chocolate then bumble off to bed:  I’ll pick up where I left off (on the computer) tomorrow.

I’ve enjoyed ‘today’ even though the weather wasn’t the bonniest;  a few sunny spells tomorrow will cheer us up.

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
