Frisky northerly beeze ....

28th November 2023 (Tuesday)     08.30 .... there's a brisk North Westerly breeze so it is not


warm;  in fact the temperature is going to be in the low single digits all day, when you factor in the wind chill.   I'm going to Methil to visit Alice and we'll go shopping in Leven:  It's a good morrrrrrning for shopping.   'Sunny intervals with a gentle breeze' is the weather forecast for KY9.



20.30    I've had a lazy day:  I haven't done much more than a short shopping session with Alice, and some 'ousework.    The weather has been lovely, albeit cold, .... oh .... I kept giving 'Blob' snacks to help him through the cold spell.  That is an important job!   
Thankfully Lewis (stonemason) didn't have a lazy day; the stone cladding is near enough finished , and it must have been cold working out there today because he was in the shade most of the time.   This cold wintry spell is forecast to be with us for a few days yet;  in fact there's Yellow Warning for snow and ice, active overnight tonight until 11.00 tomorrow morning.... and the same again for Wednesday night.   I don't think the snow will bother us too much... apart from the low temperature.

I see that the roadworks sign that appeared the other day, has been moved and it now looks like the roadworks (or whatever is happening) is going to take place down Ferry Wynd... not on Ferry Road as it first suggested.   It will be interesting to see what actually happens tomorrow..   'Ferry Wynd'  is the original name for the part of what is now called Ferry Road, south of the junction with the Ferry High Street.   Somehow 'Ferry Wynd' became part of 'Ferry Road' a number of years ago.   The 'Wynds' are on the south side of the main streets from Chapel Green (Earlsferry) to School Wynd (Elie); with one exception ....'Fountain Road'.

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
