Low cloud with light drizzle ....

31st May 2023 (Wednesday)      07.00 .... This morning’s ‘Master Plan’ was to


go for the paper by way of Elie Estate on the bike.... but we have low cloud and light drizzle at the moment, so the ‘MP’ was altered.    I went for the paper(s) in the car and will go biking through the estate when the ‘sunny intervals with a moderate breeze’ weather arrives.... as per forecast.

11.00    Having been to The Store (Ainster) I am now well ready for a bonnie afternoon.    The sky is still overcast but he drizzle has stopped.    I’m planning to go out in the afternoon when the sun has broken through.    That said.... the cloud could persist along the East Coast.

I met Elizabeth in ‘The Store’:  she is looking well and.... looking forward to a holiday in the Lake District with Graham and friends.   It’s good seeing that things are getting back to ‘normal’; even the East Neuk being busier with holiday folk is good.... but I’ll have to get used to the roads being busier.   I think I deserve morning coffee now.


16.30   It has taken a long time but the sun has eventually broken through and we have a bonnie evening ahead.   I’ve been busy in The Hutte and garden, so will have the evening to go out and ‘play’.   There’s still a light breeze from the Easterly direction (in fact we’re going to have winds from that direction for a few days) so slightly cooler than it should be for this time of year;  the West coast is the place to be where the temperatures are in the low 20'sC.   We’re at 16C.

20.30   The evening did turn out as I expected, and, feeling in the need of some exercise, after sitting in the Hutte most of the afternoon, I got the bike out and had a run round the villages.   This was a change of time (and light) for me and I managed to take a few photographs.   It was pleasant, even with the East wind, .... but it was cooler than I thought it would be, suggesting that haar wasn’t far away. 

I don’t have a ‘plan’ for tomorrow other than go for the paper first thing..   There might


be a site meeting at Ferry Lodge: I don’t think I’ll be expected to be there but I’ll hang around Ivy just in case they do want to explain anything.   I could be doing with a rest day’.

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...
