Heavy mist ....

7th June 2023 (Wednesday)     08.30 .... As we’ve done for the past few days we

'Muircambus Meal Mill'.

are waiting for the sun to break through the cloud that has drifted in from the North Sea overnight.   That said that none of the Fife Weather cams have encouraging signs; so it looks like it could be midday (or later) before the sun appears.   There’s only a light breeze .... it’s the direction that’s the problem (ENE).

12.45    I had planned to go to Balcarres today but the sun is struggling to break through;  I haven’t given up hope of seeing the sun, but it looks like being late in the afternoon before that happens.   I’ve been out in The Hutte drawing and now feel in the need of some exercise

I’ve made a dental appointment (7th July) to have a check up:  this is overdue because of me having long COVID.   My teeth aren’t bothering me but I’d like them scraped and cleaned.... and I’m feeling brave.   Dental appointments have never bothered my but I am feeling apprehensive about this one.

I don’t know whether to get the bike out and set off for Balcarres:  I’d hope for a brighter day for the camera.   The longer range weather forecast for the East coast is much the same as it has been for the past few days; low cloud and a cool breeze.  However, the sky appears to be brightening up a wee bit;  I’ll have a lite bite lunch then review the situation.   I like that bit ‘review the situation’.  

19.30    Having 'reviewed the situation' when the sun broke through in the middle of the afternoon....I went out on the bike, but didn’t go to Balcarres.   Instead of Balcarres I did a round of some of the local countryside spots that I visit now and again.... the distance travelled would be the same as Balcarres so I’m happy.   The countryside has the freshness of ‘youth’ at this time (I remember it well); it was good exploring the out of the way corners again.... and I can report that all is good in the ‘out of the way’ corners. 

22.30   I’ve had a busy and productive day (finished drawing the Balcony Floor plan ... including the pews etc).   We had a bonnie sunset so should have a bonnie day

Bridge over the Cocklemill burn at Muircambus.

tomorrow.... ‘light cloud and a moderate breeze’ is the weather forecast.

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
