Sunny and warm ....

13th June 2023 (Tuesday)    08.30 .... We had a misty start to the morning but

Looking East along Leven beach.

the sun has burnt that back and we now have a ‘sunny day with a moderate breeze’ as per weather forecast for our area.    There’s a Yellow weather warning for thunderstorms, active from midday through to 21.00, which includes Fife.    There could be interesting clouds.    Alice and I will have been to Leven beach before then: any storms, which are hit or miss events, will more likely be towards the West of Fife.... I hope.

21.30   The thunderstorms forecast for today moved up the West coast and never got anywhere near Fife;  the nearest lightning strike to Fife was at Loch Lomond.    Interesting clouds? ... not one so a very boring, more or less ‘wall to wall bloo sky all day ....and hot in the afternoon.   This is the weather I’m hoping will clear me of ‘LC’ (long COVID) once and for all.  I have a siesta during the heat of the day....which is what I do near enough every day.... but on hot days it’s siesta!

Paddle boarders off Leven beach.

As mentioned above I went to Methil to visit;  we had a cuppa then went to Leven beach to get stones for the Letham Glen activity centre tomorrow morning.   The beach was busy;  not that there was much of a beach because the tide was full in, but there are always pebbles washed up at the high tide mark.    Alice got the stones .... and I got a few beach photographs;  including one of someone picking up pebbles.  Even at that time of day the beach was starting to fill up with families coming for a picnic etc.  Alice and I went back to Methil and sorted the world out.  Naebody listens so we gave up and had lunch.

I was back at Ivy just after 14.15;  had a cuppa then promptly did the siesta thing!   When I woke up (about 45 minutes later) it was still too hot ...24C.... and mauchless ....so I made another cuppa and got the pencils out.

The WD40 appears to have temporarily fixed the bike;  I’ll see how it goes when I go for

Pebble gatherer on Leven beach.

the paper tomorrow morning.   I have nae plan for tomorrow; but the weather is going to be sunny and warm with a moderate breeze.... much the same as today.

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...
