Cold wind....

4th March 2023 (Saturday)     10.00....I hung out a washing a few minutes


ago.... and I can tell you that it is not warm out: and very cold on the hands hanging out a wet washing.   However I’m feeling in ‘working mode’ this morrrrning... hence the washing.   The weather forecaster, talking about next week’s weather, mentioned ‘snow’.   That isn’t unexpected in the month of March;  a bit disappointing when looking for the daffy-down-dillies to open;  but always good for cloud photographs.  The photo above was taken on the 1st of March 2018.   March can be a tricky month for weather.   I don’t think the weather forecasters are predicting that kind of weather for us this year but ... you never know.

20.00    The ‘working mode’ feeling was a bit.... sporadic would be the best way to describe it.   That said when I was in working mode I did ‘nae bad’.   I got rid of some stuff lying around the garden, so the ‘bloo’ bucket is almost full and will be going out next ‘bloo’ bucket day: Friday March 10th according to the Fife Bin Calendar web page.   That can change.


In the afternoon I thought the air had warmed up so I ventured down to the beach.... which was unexpectedly busy considering that it was much colder than I thought it was going to be.   ‘Skye’ brought Chris and Barbara down to the beach for their afternoon exercise;  they were going up to Chapel Green and the golf course.   I was ready to go home by this time;  there was a cold kettle at Ivy that wanted warming up and I know how to do it!  Although I wasn’t down at the beach very long both sky and beach were busy, so I got some bonnie photographs. 


22.00   According to Louise (the weather forecaster) Monday and Tuesday are the days when we are most likely to experience wintry weather.   I thought she was going to say that “KY9 was going to be calm with long, warm sunny spells”, but she didn’t.  I’m looking for sunny spells tomorrow morning.... in spite of the forecast for KY9 being’ light rain and a gentle breeze’.

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 f...

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 l...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
