Warm for the time of year ....

14th January 2023 (Saturday)     07.15.... Even though it’s raining just now


it’s not cold;  but it is dreich.   However the light rain is forecast to give way to ‘sunny spells and light rain showers’ by mid morning.   It could be a ‘play’ day.   The weather is going to turn much colder from tomorrow.

15.15   I fancied a walk in a wood after lunch so I went to Balcarres and had a walk round a bit of the ‘Woodland Walk’.... in between showers.   It had to be a short walk because the showers were frequent ...with only a short sunny spell between them.    I should have gone out in the morning.,   Anyway I enjoyed my short daunder, and got some photographs to ‘play’ with, so I’m happy.   I’d have been even happier with a long sunny spell!

21.15    Jings...the wind freshened a couple of hours ago and we now have a wild night.   I don’t think it’s raining... not heavily anyway as I don’t hear rain hitting the window.  There is a Yellow warning out for Fife but it isn’t for wind!.... it’s for ice: starting at 22.00 tonight through to 10.00 tomorrow morning.   That means it’s going to be cold tomorrow; but, thankfully, the wind is going to moderate overnight.   There is going to be a frisky breeze, with long sunny intervals, ‘ra morra’ so there will be wind chill.   Yep.... it’s going to be a ‘bonnie but wrap up well’ kind of day.


This has been a strange day for me;  I haven’t been down to the harbour.     The only time I went anywhere was when I went to Balcarres in the afternoon.    Oh ...and I had a migraine just before lunch.   I couldn’t understand why that happened then I happened to look at the barometer.... it was down at 976.    So it, the migraine, was brought on by the rapid change in pressure.   I’m a happy boy ...the barometer is starting to rise.  Gradual changes in the barometric pressure don’t bother me.... it’s the sudden big changes that bring on migraines.

Not only have I not been to the harbour.... I haven’t done any ‘work’ at all today.   It has


been a lazy day in front of the TV or computer mostly.    I’ll be a bundle o’ active atoms tomorrow....I hope it isn’t too cold.   It’s amazing when you think about it:  billions of atoms conglomerated together make all living thing: Sadly, the human, supposedly intelligent ‘life form’, spends much of its time inventing ways to blow all the atoms, that make up a human body, apart.... and destroy life!   How sad is that!   

I’m orf to make the chocolate then find something to watch on the tele.   I’m a ‘happy boy’ tonight;  looking forward to a sunny day tomorrow.

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
