Breezy....

13th October 2023 (Friday)    08.00 .... Getting out of bed on a dark (and cold) morning is easy

enough, but not much fun.   Anyway, I'm vertical, on a breezy but not very bright morning and can't imagine me going out on the bike today, as the wind is forecast to freshen in the afternoon.   Not a play day'.    

13.00    I had a run to the harbour, it's a bit cool and breezy for me on the bike today, so I was in the car.   One or two people were getting their boats ready for 'Crane Out' on Monday.... but I didn't see anyone I knew.  It was breezy at the harbour so I didn't hang about.... it's F6 out in the Firth (Well Safe Guardian).   I've done a washing (I can only do small washings due to short washing lines);  the 'plan' now (after another cuppa) is to begin inking in a Kinneuchar project drawing.

21.30   The weather forecaster mention snow for the mountains this weekend;  and, no snow, but the temperature down to 3C at sea level.   Not Elie and Earlsferry of course..... we like cosy.   I was cosy this afternoon, having spent some time in the kitchen making ready meals for the freezer.   The inking in, of the Kinneuchar kirk drawing is under way, but I didn't get very much done.   However I've been productive (and warm) so the day has passed quickly.

 

22.30    I've had a quiet nondescript kind o' day having spent most of the day around Ivy.  It was too cold and windy for going out on the bike; and I think tomorrow is going to be much the same.   However I might do a tour of the villages first thing ....if it's less windy.   Right now it's chocolate time.

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
