Medium to heavy precipitation ....

Ferry Road at 07.10.

12th December 2023 (Tuesday)    07.15.... It's warmer, and the rain lighter than I expected;  but it's not a 'play day'.   This is a perfect day for writing cards .... and drawing.   I'm going to give 'Blob' his breakfast snack then have my breakfast before settling down for a restful day as, according to the weather forecast, the rain is going to be with us until 08.00 tomorrow morning.   The kettle is 'on'.

16.00     We have have some dismal weather in bonnie Scotland, and today must be up there with the worst of them;  it has been wet, and miserable looking, every time I had reason to go outside.. and by the end of the afternoon it was just to remind myself of how miserable it was.   However I have made great progress with the card writing;  in fact I should be able to post the UK ones tomorrow sometime.   I haven't been at the card writing all day, having taken 'time out' to watch a film on Channel 82... and set up a drawing board with my next project.   And I've had numerous cuppas.   

I now wish I had ordered more of the 'Kinneuchar Project' cards;  I wasn't sure how they'd look so only ordered 20.  They turned out slightly better than expected, so I'm happy with that;  but not happy with the shortfall.   (I'll use my various 'Project' drawings for next years Christmas cards).   By the time I covered the troops' up North and down South I had 7 left for Kinneuchar, Colinsburgh, Elie and Earlsferry.   Anyway I've put up a photo of the card so at least you can see what it looks like.

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
