Bright and breezy ....

16th July2023 (Sunday)    10.00    It is a bright and breezy morning with the

Fife Coastal path at Chapel Green

chance of showers around the middle of the day.   I’ve been for the paper and round the villages (I’m enjoying the bike being fully functional again);  actually it’s cool for the time of year .... the wind is F4 from the SSW so there is wind chill.    There was a bonnie ‘light’ when I was out so I have a wheen o’ photographs to ‘play’ with.   Slight ‘Flap on’ now.....it’s for morning coffee time.


18.45   We’ve had a lovely day;  a bit breezy right enough, but at least the showers missed us.   I’ve had a busy day;  drawing and watching Stage 15 of ‘le Tour’.   The coverage is normally excellent but we only saw a recording of the winner, Wout Poels, crossing the line;  because we were watching the duel between Jonas Vingegaard  and

Tadej Pogacar....who, once again finished with the same time.... a few minutes behind the Winner.   Wout van Ert was second.  Tomorrow is a rest day with Time Trial Stage on Tuesday.
Shona was passing (on her bike) and dropped off some of her home grown raspberries;  she didn’t stop for a cuppa, as she was going to watch the tennis.  The raspberries have been consumed.... and very tasty they were.

21.45   I saw the end of the tennis;  it was, like the cycling .... an exciting final.   I’ll have a slight problem re sports watching at the end of this week;  this is the last week of ‘le tour (finishes in Paris on Sunday).... and The Open begins on Thursday at Royal Liverpool.

Iain (Auchnagatt) had thunder and heavy rain today so we were lucky;  I don’t think we even had much in the way of thunder clouds around us today.   I was working in The Hutte on and off all afternoon and never went out looking for thunder clouds.

Tomorrow’s weather is ‘light showers with a fresh breeze’.... not quite as windy as it was


today.   Thankfully we’re missing the heat wave that is hitting parts of  Europe and the US of A;  I’d like us to be a wee bit warmer than it was today, but definitely not super warm.

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
