Autumnal morning .....

25th August 2023 (Friday)      09.00 .... There’s a nice fresh autumnal feel to


the early morning air;  the beginning of what is going to be a nice enough day.... ‘light showers and light winds’ being the weather forecast.

I’m vertical, and I’ve been for the paper and visited the harbour (in the car);  now I’m ready to ‘work’.  As I’m in a drawing mood this is going to be a ‘rest day’.   I had a restless night (too hot) so I expect I’ll have a few catnaps....  and a lot o’ cuppas!


13.30    It’s a nice day with some big old clouds building up;  I’ve been working and haven’t been out on the bike yet, but have taken a couple of photos of the clouds.    I haven’t been firing on all cylinders so far today (after the restless night), so I’m lying low, but might get out on the bike in the evening.   It could be that I’m taking longer to recover from the cold I had a week ago.   I’ll have another cuppa before going out to ‘work’ again.


15.00   The ‘big old clouds’ haven’t produced any thundery rain showers so far; but there is a Yellow Warning for Fife, that became active at 15.00 and ends at 09.00 tomorrow morning.   Thunder storms are active south of Edinburgh just now.

20.30    Although feeling ‘under the weather’ most of the morning I perked up in the afternoon and made a batch of ‘Cottage Pies’ for the freezer.... and worked with the pencils in the Hutte:  so, although the day began slowly it ended with me feeling, not quite 100% , but happy and content, albeit tired.   I hope to be much cooler in bed tonight.    Tomorrow will be a ‘rest day’!

I noticed that Ferry Road was busy today with, I imagine August Bank Holiday


(England) traffic.   Monday is the actual holiday but some folk will want to make a decent length of weekend and arrive on Friday.

We can expect ‘sunny intervals with a gentle breeze’ tomorrow (the Yellow Warning for thundery showers expires at 09.00).... looks like it could be another bonnie day with interesting clouds.   I’m looking forward to being active.

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
