Bright and breezy .... and so is the weather

3rd July 2023 (Monday)     08.00 .... It’s a bright and breezy morrrrrrrrrrrrning


....  and cooler than it should be: and I’ve got the bike back in action  and  want warm(er) summer weather,  not the hint of Autumn that was in the air earlier.    Actually it’s a lovely morning but I’ll do any biking in the late afternoon or early evening;  by that time, I’m hoping, the wind will have moderated.   Right now its breakfast time.... and I’m hungry.

20.00     The wind didn’t moderate as much as I’d hoped so I didn’t go out on the bike.... but I haven’t wasted the time: I did some ‘ooverin’ and dustin’ with intermittent breaks to watch Stage 3 of the Tour in the afternoon.   In the morrrrrrrning I went to Methil to have a cuppa with Alice; after the cuppa we went to the Bargain Store to do some shopping... then back up to Alice’s for a blether followed by lunch.  I was back at Ivy in time to bring in the washing I’d hung out first thing this morning.  I was half expecting heavy showers this afternoon that never materialised... but the sky is starting to look more threatening now so we might get rain overnight.


23.00   Tomorrow is going to be a quiet day for me... a rest day.   I’m looking forward to Jo coming for a chat in the morning, then I’ll spend the afternoon drawing.  If the weather forecast is as per forecast it will be a good day for ‘catching up with Jo’s news.... and the drawing.   Actually I might do a bit more ‘ousework in the morning;  sort of de-man cave Ivy before Jo arrives.  Stage 4 is on the tele in the afternoon:  I’ll have that on and watch it now and again when I’m drawing.   Busy day tomorrow.

I’ve had an enjoyable day ... a busy and enjoyable day.  I’d have liked to go biking but the weather dictates when I go biking nowadays;  actually I’m looking forward to the weather settling down again.... but not as hot as it was in June.   My word the planet is in a perilous state; and all that some politicians appear do is worry about ‘the Party’.   I don’t know what our planet will be like by the end of this century, but I do know we need politicians (the world over), that recognise the desperate state of ‘Mother Earth’.... and that they are the ones to do something about it now: even if it means going against the selfishness of ‘a Party'. There’s a planet that needs to be saved for future generations.  All you have to do is think "Grandchildren"! My word I feel better now.    Apologies to anyone I might have annoyed!

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
