Moderating wind .....

28th September 2023 (Thursday)    09.00.... The wind is moderating after a


blustery night (but not as blustery as it was on the West coast) and the sky is starting to break up to give us ‘sunny intervals with fresh wind’ as per forecast.   I’m feeling playful , in fact almost ‘bright eyed and bushy tailed’;  but I won’t go out on the bike until afternoon by which rime the wind should be much quieter.  It’s F6 in the middle of the Firth just now (Well Safe Guardian).  

20.30    I had a short trip on the bike later in the afternoon...only as far as the beach then round Chapel green as the bike battery was low.   If the weather is fine tomorrow I might go for a decent run....the battery is ‘on charge’ just now.   I don’t think it’s going to rain tomorrow but it is going to be windy;  a good drying day!


Ferry Road is being patched yet again;  somebody went round with a yellow spray can a couple of weeks ago marking the places that need repairing.    What the person with the spray can really needs to do is spray a yellow line all the way across Ferry Road with an arrow pointing North, at the Ferry phone box... and another line all the way across Ferry Road where it meets the A917 with an arrow pointing West, then resurface the bit between.  That would make Ferry Toad fit to bike on.

I had a lovely morning catching up with Alice, scoffing her home bakes and chatting until lunchtime.   Joyce (Alice’s friend from Thornton) arrived after lunch and we had a really enjoyable, three way, conversation.   I left the girls to themselves and bumbled my


way home;  made a cuppa and promptly fell fast asleep in front of the tele.

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
