Wintry feel to the air ....

7th December 2022 (Wednesday)    08.00 ....It’s cold this morning but not

Sunlit 'East Lomond'

frosty;  ‘sunny intervals with a moderate breeze’ is our weather forecast’, so .... a good drying day.   I haven’t been to the beach, but will go out in the car once the sun gets going.    It should be warm in the sun and out of the wind;  but there’s going to be a wintry feel to the air all day.   (It’s mornings like this I wish I was a politician with no worries about my heating bill).   I’m vertical and feeling ‘nae bad’;  this cold weather agitates the asthma, but otherwise almost ready to go ‘out to play’.

12.00    Although cold it’s a bonnie morning to be out.... but well wrapped up.   I’ve been for the paper(s) in the car.... and down to the harbour, then home by way of Balbuthie.   I won’t go out on the bike, but might go for a short daunder in the afternoon.   


16.30    I’ve enjoyed ‘today’ even though the cold weather means ‘nae biking’ just now.   However I went to the harbour to watch the sunset (car,) then came home via Kinneuchar.   The sun was well down by the time I got to Kinneuchar but I got some pics o’ the full moon.    The air feels like we could have frost tonight though I think it’s supposed to be colder down south.

I’m going to be working in the kitchen this evening batch cooking some ‘Cottage Pies’;  that’s  a warm job.   Actually I think I’ll start that job now... I’m hungry.

21.00    The cooking session went smoothly and I have three Cottage Pies to put into the freezer before bedtime.   Normally I’d do a double batch but for some reason I only bought one pack of mince the last time I was shopping.   

‘Sunny intervals and a gentle breeze’ is our forecast for Thursday;  and Fife is included


in an Yellow warning for snow and ice.   The warning is ‘active' until midday on Friday (9th).   The weather (temperature) dictates everything I do just now... the asthma is triggered by cold air.    There’s an ‘Afternoon Tea’ in the Kirk Hall tomorrow afternoon at 14.00... I think this used to be called the ‘Drop In Cafe’.     I’ll go to that (in the car) .... unless the weather is bitterly cold.

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
