Fresher air ....

10th September 2023 (Sunday)      08.00 .... There’s a layer of cloud


 obscuring the sun so, thankfully, the air is fresher and loaded with oxygen.   Mind you that might change once the sun breaks through.   Thundery showers, with a gentle breeze is the weather forecast... and Fife is covered by a Yellow Warning, for said thundery showers from, 14.00 through to midnight.   There’s a change afoot with our weather.

09.45    I’ve been for the paper, visited the harbour ....and came home by way of Balbuthie and Kinneuchar;  if the thundery showers do come our way, I won’t be going out on the bike again today.   I’ll have a cuppa then pop along to  Methil.

17.30    We haven’t had any thundery showers so far, but the sky is beginning to look ominous.... with the look of a ‘thundery shower’ about it.  The nearest batch  of thunder storms, at the moment, is between Glasgow and Edinburgh.  

A917 road into Elie from the East.

For some reason the roads seemed busier than usual when I went to Methil to visit Alice; I think it was because there was a tractor, with a trailer full of bales going West, and he was setting a leisurely pace.   I had to accelerate.  Alice made salad rolls for lunch (followed by strawberries and ice cream) so I don’t need much in the way of fodder tonight;  a bowl of soup and a sandwich will do nicely.



20.00    At last we’ve had a shower o’ rain to clear the air;  we should be back to our normal weather tomorrow....’light rain showers and moderate breeze’.   More importantly, we should be able to sleep tonight.   Although I enjoyed the sunshine of the past few days the heat was too much. 

My central hearing boiler is being serviced on Wednesday, and we, ‘The Team’, are having

Balbuthie Road - Kinneuchar.

lunch in the 19th on Thursday;  apart from that I will have a quiet week.  The latest, and last, Kinneuchar Project drawing is starting to take shape.... in fact I’ll spend some time on that tomorrow.   Once it’s finished I’ll be able to concentrate on research and writing the ‘project’ up.

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
