Breezy ....

20th February 2022 (Monday)   09.00.... ‘Fresh winds with light rain’ is the


weather forecast for KY9;  at the moment we have the wind but no light rain.... though the rain disnae look far away.  I’m hoping for a calmer and brighter afternoon...but I doubt if I’ll go biking today. I have stuff to do on the computer;  that will be my morning activity.

22.30    It has been reasonable day as far as the weather went;  a bit breezy but nae rain worth bothering about.   I managed to get my ‘computer work’ done in the morning.... but all I could do in the afternoon was potter around Ivy.... including making sausages and mash for dinner.   For some reason I kept dozing off after lunch so I have to say this has been a ‘rest day’.   I went down to the Ferry High street with the camera to photograph some interesting clouds but I couldn’t get fired up to go to the beach.   Irene came down Ferry Road at the end of her afternoon walk, and we chatted for a while:  talking is one of the best ways to brighten up a dull kind o’ day.

In the evening I watched Edith (Bowman) in an episode of ‘Food Fest Scotland’....it was an interesting half hour, with much of it coming from Anstruther, Edith’s home town.

Alice is still suffering with COVID;  she has had it really bad.... however she sounded slightly better on the phone this evening but I don’t think she feels ‘bright eyed and bushy tailed’ yet. 


I’m ending the day with a migraine;  bedtime is the best time to have a migraine.   I’ll take a couple o’ pills and have an early night with my book.   I have no ‘plan’ for tomorrow: the weather is going to be slightly less windy, and ‘precipitation is not expected between the hours of 09.00 and 13.00’.   That would be a good time to go out on the bike.   Kirsty, Myra and I are having lunch in the 19th on Wednesday;  I’m looking forward to that.

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
