Breezy ....

17th February 2023 (Friday)     08.00.... The weather is ‘bright breezy’ this

morning (F8 out in the Firth – ‘Saipem 3000’), but it is already at the start of a decreasing trend so should be bikeable by midday.   It isn’t cold... or wouldn’t be if it wasn’t wind.  ; I kept waking up because I was too hot in bed last night.   In fact I thought the heating was ‘on’ but it wisnae: however, I still have the winter TOG downie on the bed:  and “ne’er cast a cloot till May is oot” applies tae the downie as weel as my claes.

18.30    It has been a bit blowy today, but at least it was dry.   It was the middle of the afternoon before I went up to Chapel Green on the bike;  the wind had calmed doon to F4 - 5.  There was a bonnie kind o’ light about so I managed to take a few photographs;  including the progress with the new build and renovations on Chapel green road houses.  


The new house on the former ‘Chapel Green House’ site is progressing well;  the stonework is the something else.... but the whole house is now looking really good.  There’s work going on at ‘White Cottage’ but that in mostly visible from the East... the beach.   Katherine Bank has a lot going on... and has done for months;  I’m looking forward to seeing the finished job when the scaffolding comes down.   Finally the new house on the former ‘Four Winds’ site is nearing completion.   The Ferry will be really quiet when all that building work is done.


21.30    Alice is badly needing to be ‘annoyed’.... that’s my job;  but I can’t go along to Methil to ‘annoy’ her ‘cos Alice has COVID;  and has been feeling poorly with a bad cough for the past few days.    Hopefully she will be better soon, and ready for some ‘annoying’.   I have a barra load o’ annoy-en-ness in me....and it’s frustratin’ no’ bein able tae use it.

At last the wind has dropped to a light breeze.... it has been replaced with rain.  When I

Katherine Bank.

think about it we haven’t had a decent spell o’ rain for a while, which is unusual for this time o’ year.

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
