Interesting sky ....

 26th November 2023 (Sunday)    08.30 .... I am looking for 'sunny spells' and an interesting

Elie High Street.

sky;  just now we have an overcast sky with much dampness:  it's definitely a drawing day.   I'll go for the paper after this update.... and probably have a run down to the harbour. I don't know what's in the air but something is not agreeing with my tubes.... so, apart from the above mentioned mission, I'll be staying in and warm most of 'today'.   The Fife Weather cams are all showing a grey sky apart from the  Upper Largo one.... which has a pale purple sky.

10.15   The cloud is starting to break up.... (I saw some 'bloo' bits) .... and I'm feeling playful.   Once the air clears I might try for the beach when the sunny spells arrive.   I've been for the Sunday Post... and milk ... and rolls;  but didn't go to the 'arbour.   I'll have mug o' coffee (need the caffeine) then get the pencils out until the 'sunny spells' arrive.   'Light precipitation' is forecast for later in the day.

The 'Ferry' beach.
15.00   After the above  mentioned mug of coffee I did have a slow wander to the beach, and took a wheen o' photographs because , not only was the beach busy, there was a bonnie light about.  Everybody was well wrapped up (including me) because there was a raw feel to the air, even though there was hardly any breeze: I didn't go down onto the actual beach, but I think I could have done, in spite of the steep drop after the storm a few weeks ago. I am pleased with today's photographs... and will have fun 'playing' with them in the evening.



19.00    I m glad that I went out in the morning;  the weather turned cauld and raw in the afternoon as the dampness moved in.   It was really was dreich when I went out to give 'Blob' his 'bedtime' snack.... even he looked a bit fed up of the cold weather.   I had hoped to do some work out in the garden this morning, but the auld tubes stopped that (it has been a bad day for asthmatics). The plan was to cut  back some more of the ivy.                             

Elie beach.
21.00    I've had a busy enough day, and I enjoyed my wee wander to the beach....even though today's weather definitely did not agree with the auld breathing tubes; however, tomorrow is going to be breezier and that will shift traffic traffic fumes.    Slight 'Flap on'.... got the bedtime drink to make.

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 f...

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 l...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
