Cool northerly breeze ....

28th May 2023 (Sunday)     07.00.... The breeze is from the Northerly direction


so there’s a fresher feel to the air this morning;  but it looks like being a nice enough day, albeit with a cool onshore breeze.   After I go for the paper I shall spend most of my day around Ivy;  with ‘time out’ in the afternoon when the temperature is warmer....if the roads are not too busy.

19.45    I had a very enjoyable ‘paper run’ this morning (in the car); I remembered to actually get the paper (Sunday Post) – got to keep up with ‘Oor Wullie.  After the ‘Paper Shop’ I went to the harbour.   It was a really peaceful morning with the sea looking like a sheet o’ glass....with an abundance of reflection.   At that time the light breeze was from the North West so I ventured onto the beach;  I was a happy boy and feeling good.

Neil was getting ‘Sea Nymph’ ready to go out sailing so I wandered out to the end of the pier  to get a few photos of Neil and crew going out.   It was a good day for a quiet sail though it was not going to be overly fast. Perfect weather for a leisurely .... and relaxing sail.


Back at Ivy I browsed this morning photos... and sorted out a few for FB.   The initial ‘browse’ pleased me: and I’ll sort the remainder out later.

In the afternoon I got the bike out with the intention of going up towards Colinsburgh, but by this time there was East in the wind, so I never went biking.   The ‘plan’ is to go out early tomorrow morning, when the light breeze is forecast to be from the Westerly direction;  and backing to the East before lunchtime.  I decided to settle down in The Hutte with the drawing pencils. 

22.00    We had a bonnie sunset so can look forward to another bonnie day tomorrow: 


that said .... we’ll have the onshore breeze to contend with.  I’ll do any biking before the onshore breeze gets going.... and before the roads are busy.    The main ‘plan’ is to be back in Ivy before the roads are busy... then lie low.

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
