Frosty .....

29th November 2023 (Wednesday)     08.00 ....There some action at the Ferry Corner at 06.30; 
Ferry Corner - 06.30.

a bloke sorting out the signage for the works on Ferry Wynd, and a milk delivery van turning:  I  happened to be giving 'Blob' his breakfast at the time.   It's frosty just now, but it should be a bonnie morning, but cloudier, with the chance of light showers in the afternoon.    It's a 'stay in and stay warm' day for me.





12.00    I feel like I have been a busy 'boy' this morning .... even though I haven't done very much; but what I have done I enjoyed doing.   After the car windscreen had cleared I went for the paper(s) and, feeling brave even though t was cold, I went to the 'arbour.  The only action was the RNLI Life Savers hut being removed for the winter, a few seagulls flapping around showing an interest in something behind the pier that I couldn't see... but they obviously could, and a couple being taken for a walk by their mutt.   A relaxing scene... apart from the seagulls that were still circling around. 

Since then the sky has started to cloud over and the temperature drop to almost the bitterly cold level.   I won't be going out again today.

14.45    I've just surfaced after my afternoon catnap to find we have a wet and dismal looking afternoon.  Precipitation was mentioned in the weather forecast for today right enough, so I shouldn't have been surprised;  but  I am (surprised i.e.), because I didn't expect the rain to be quite so ... well rainy!   I was expecting light showery kind o' rain.    I think another cuppa  is required  to get me into 'full alert' mode; before going back to the drawing board'.  

18.45   I'm thinkin' that the 'Kinneuchar Project' drawing is finished and I'll take photo of it tomorrow.  I have to do that up in The Hutte because the light is much better.   There's another 'Kinneuchar Project' drawing that I want to do but that will be after I have done one of the Ferry Corner.
If the rain/sleet we had this afternoon/evening freezes overnight there could be icy roads tomorrow

morning.... how bad the roads are, depends on how hard the frost is.   It was raining when I was out about an hour ago so it's not freezing;  the frost comes in when the sky clears.

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
