Warm and humid .....
24th
June 2023 (Saturday) 07.30 .... the sky is overcast and the air warm
The 'Dunblane' rose.
and humid at present; however the forecast for KY9 is.... five minute pause (to make the tea) ..... ‘sunny
intervals with a moderate south-westerly breeze’. The temperature is 19C just now so the
afternoon could be hot... too hot in fact.
It should be a good drying day and I have a washing going through the
machine; but right now it disnae look
like a good drying day.... but it's a 'good drying day' forecast.... and I see 'bloo' bits in the Western sky.
15.00 It has been 25C on the thermometer this
afternoon; a beautiful drying day. I was only out long enough to read the thermometer
and bring in the washing; then back in to Ivy and enjoy another refreshing
cuppa. I’ll go up to The Hutte in the
evening and do some drawing.
I
went to Elie (in the morning) to get my prescription and the paper; it was hot even then. Getting ‘moored up’ up to visit George was
tricky, but I eventually got there;
where we devoured the Empire biscuits I'd bought in Barnett’s (we may not
have the Empire anymore, but still have the biscuits) with a cuppa.. I couldn’t stay too long in George’s; it was too hot. We caught up with the each other’s ‘news’ and
was back in Ivy just after midday.
Since then I have caught up with the BBC News (events in Russia), had a ‘lite
bite’ lunch followed by a cat-nap.

19.15 Although the heat bothers me nowadays this
has been a proper summer’s day; a
perfect day for the beach... and for being on holiday. I stayed ‘in’, more or less all afternoon
but might have a short walk later in the evening: the thermometer is still reading 21C. Tomorrow is going to be another warm/hot day;
however there is a Yellow warning (Fife) for thundery showers in the
afternoon; should be interesting clouds
around. Thundery showers are ‘hit or
miss’, and we might be lucky; miss the
showers but see the clouds.
22.30
The air is still warm and this could
mean a restless night’s sleep. Luckily I
have ‘nae plan’ for tomorrow.... it all depends on how hot it is. I’m enjoying this warm weather but it
definitely lowers my frolic levels.
I see there’s a vintage rally at Leven tomorrow (11.00 – 16.00); I’d like to go to that, but
