Damp ....
31st July 2023 (Monday) 06.30 .... There’s a bit of dampness around this
bonnie morning: all the Fife Weather cams are showing a grey sky ....we had a ‘red sky in the morrrrrrning’ with light drizzle at 05.30, but the forecast is ‘heavy rain with a moderate breeze’. The pollen count is ‘low’; and I'm hoping for 'sunny spells' later in the afternoon.
15.15 With the weather being dreich I have made
good progress with the drawing, and have another drawing ready to outline with ink. But... the sky is starting to look more promising;
and, if the weather continues to improve, I might get the bike out in the early
evening. We might even have sunny
spells. I could be hallucinating’; I’ll have another cuppa.
17.30 The ‘improving
sky’ (mentioned above) didn’t last long, and the weather deteriorated again,
and the evening ‘sunny spells’ a figment of my imagination; I don’t think sunny spells are going to come
our way until tomorrow morning. I feel
sorry for folks with a young family wanting to play on the beach. However I have had a successful day with the
pencils.... and might even spend some of what looks like being a wet evening, with
them too.
I
haven’t had any real exercise today;
both the weather and my breathing were not amenable to exercise. Tomorrow looks like being brighter; then again it wouldn’t take much for that to
be the case.
19.30 The road through Williamsburgh is ‘Closed’ due to ongoing works with the gas. When I worked at the Craw’s Nest I biked to Anstruther and I remember that, on any calm morning, there was a smell of gas, and that’s going back 30+ years. It will be interesting to see if they find (and solve) the problem this time. I always assumed the leak was around the old gas works area.
Plan
for tomorrow? ‘Light rain and a moderate
breeze’ is our official weather for tomorrow; and I am adding ‘sunny spells from morning
coffee time onwards’; so that holiday
makers can enjoy the beach and the gold course.... and I can go, ‘roond the
villages’ on the bike.
