Windy and wet ....

8th November 2023 (Wednesday)    08.00.... There's much wetness  just now... in fact it's a

This guy is thinking 'love' things!

miserable start to the day:  however the rain should begin to clear soon and give us a 'sunny spells' afternoon.   That's not a bad forecast;  I'll  potter around Ivy in the morning then go out in the car in the afternoon.

15.30   The rain cleared away before morrrrning coffee' and we've had a cracker of an afternoon... albeit cool in the frisky breeze.    I went up to Elie to hand in my prescription, and pick up the paper.  That mission was half completed.... I forgot about the paper.;  but remembered to visit the harbour.   'Port Servicer' (not the most imaginative of names)was working off the harbour (sewage outlet pipe?) a windsurfer enjoying the brisk wind around the Bay, and a couple of people taking photographs.   And me.  

The stone masons brought a load of... yep ... stones for the cladding;  it's all going to look awfie bonnie when finished.  


21.00    It has been a bonnie (and busy) day;  now I'm ready to settle down and watch 'Shetland'.   I spent most of the afternoon drawing:  I resisted the temptation to go out on the bike .... because of the cold wind.

Tomorrow's weather is  going to be much the same as today's was;  sunny spells and quite cool in a fresh NW breeze.

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
