Sunny intervals ....

 9th October 2023 (Monday)    08.45 .... we have a bonnie start to Monday;  it isn't raining,


the sun is breaking through and the weather forecast is 'sunny intervals with light winds'.   It's not the best of drying days, but I am going to hang out a washing and hope that the sun dries it.   The 'plan' is to go to visit Alice and do some shopping in Leven.



14.30    When Alice and I were doing the shopping we had spits and spots o' rain so I thought  "oh well the washing will have to stay out all night":  I could hardly believe it when I got back to Ivy.... the washing is nearly dry!    I'm having a cuppa before going out on the bike;  assuming the weather stays dry.  

When in Leven I had planned to deposit a cheque in the Bank;  slight problem.... I'd left the cheque on the mantelpiece in Ivy.  

20.00   It has been a nice day, in fact warm for the time of year;  but not as warm as it is in Sunny Sussex, where my Sunny Sussex friends are  experiencing an October heatwave.  I didn't go out on the bike this

afternoon, but not because it was too hot.   I fell asleep.  I'd been up in the attic yesterday afternoon, for the first time in a few years, and the leg muscles are complaining.
 
"Strong winds and drizzle" is the KY9 weather for tomorrow;  could be another computer practice day.  I might take turn to Leven, this time with the cheque I meant to deposit today; it will help me get used to the 'new' car.

Overcast with light rain .....

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
