Overcast, peaceful morning....

27th February 2023 (Monday)   08.00....The sky is overcast just now but we


should have ‘sunny spells’ before morrrrrrrrning coffee time.   There’s only a light breeze (F1 on Well Safe Guardian) from the Northerly direction so, although light, it a cool breeze (2C on the garden thermometer).   I might go out on the bike in the middle of the day.... when the air is a bit warmer.

11.00   I’ve been up to Elie to hand in my prescription, and had a run down to the harbour in the car.  It’s bitterly cold out, so I very much doubt if I’ll be out on the bike; unless the temperature rises dramatically when the sunny spells arrive.   Actually there isn’t much sign of them coming our way until after midday.  The Harbour beach is having the seaweed removed this morning;  always a sign that the holiday season is coming.   Easter Sunday is on the 9th April.



17.00    We might get lucky and see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) tonight;  as we have seen on the News it was visible as far south as Kent last night.   Michael phoned to tell me about it, but I was in my PJ’s by then:  I went out into the garden and could see it faintly but the best of it had been earlier.   It’s cloudy just now so it all depends on the sky clearing.   I won’t go to bed early just in case.

It has been bitterly cold all day so I never went out on the bike:  however I went up to Elie a second time in the car;  I’d forgotten the paper and I fancied a change of scene.   This has been another rest day, after a restless night last night;  mind you I have kinda made up for that by falling asleep in front of the tele.

21.00    Even if the Aurora is active tonight there’s little chance of us seeing it:  when I went out a few minutes ago it was raining... so it’s time to make the chocolate and browse the TV Channels.   I have no ‘plan’ for tomorrow; the weather forecast is much


the same as today’s,.... plus a ‘low chance of precipitation’ on the East Coast.  I won’t be going out on the bike even if I do feel playful.

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
