Cloudy .....

9th June 2023 (Friday)     08.45 .... The clouds is still with us, but there’s a more


broken look to it so we should see the sun by lunch time.   It’s a quiet morning; even the birds seem fed up of a grey sky!   I’ve been for the paper then up to Chapel Green.... the plan being to flatten the bike battery.    The battery went pfffffffffft just as I went onto Ferry Road at the Links Road junction (the phone box);   only 50 yards from the front gate.      I’m ready for breakfast now.



19.15    For some reason I went into ‘work’ mode today... as in ‘ousework’ mode.  As it was a perfect drying day I did a washing;  and then washed the bathroom, kitchen and lobby floors.   Doing the floors is my least favourite job around the house...but today was a good day for doing them.   I didn’t enjoy doing the floors; but was content, and happy, after they were done.   After that I went out to The Hutte and did a Soduko.... and fell asleep.

The bike battery is fully charged and ready for Balcarres....probably on Monday.   Tomorrow Alice is coming along and we’re going to ‘Bowhouse’ to have a browse;  on Sunday we should have some bonnie clouds as there’s a yellow warning for thunderstorms includes Fife.... making Monday the day for biking to Balcarres.

'Well Safe Guardian' in Largo Bay.

We’ve had a sunny day; and the cool onshore breeze;  but with the temperatures forecast for the UK tomorrow we’ll be glad of the onshore breeze: maybe not.  The sunshine without extreme heat would do me fine.  That said, I bought fresh sun cream the other day... so bring it on: if it’s too hot I’ll lash on the sun cream.... and fall asleep.

It’s a nice evening;  I night have a wander to the beach.... after I have a cuppa.   Having said that; today has been a ‘bad breathing’ day... so it depends on how cool the fresh onshore breeze is.

22.00   The forecasters have been forecasting hot weather for Sunny Sussex, but it isn’t hot here tonight;  the wind freshened and its cold.   I’m happy at the end of what has been a funny old day for me; I mean getting into ‘work’ mode on a play day.... that’s not me.   I’m looking forward meeting Alice off the bus tomorrow and going to ‘browse’ Bowhouse, having never been to a ‘Bowhouse’ weekend.

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
