Rain....

4th December 2023 (Monday)    08.00.... 'Light rain showers and a fresh breeze' is our weather

1968 Saab.

forecast today;  however, I wouldn't call the shower that just passed over 'light', but at least it isn't frosty, and the local pavements though wet, aren't slippery.... in fact its warm compared with the past week.  The sky is full of clouds, scuttling over from the ESE, so showers could be frequent;  actually it looks like there's been a few heavy showers recently, going by the amount of water running down the road.   I'm vertical and feeling reasonably frisky;  how\ever, I'm not sure what kind o' day it is for me, but it's not a 'play day'.  A few of the Fife Weather cams show promising signs so we could have a drier afternoon;  we won't need he sun cream but we could have shorrrrrrt 'sunny spells'.   I'm (almost) a happy 'boy'.  

18.30   'Sunny spells'?.... I don't thin we had one!   We did have some patches of 'bloo' sky rattling over but he sunny spell was somewhere else.   The 'showers'  amalgamated into one, seriously long shower, after lunchtime and it has been dreich ever since.  With the weather being iffy I decided to nip along to


Methil to visit Alice;  we've got things to do this week  and this is the only day we are both free.  The roads were busy, and wet but not flooded.  Of course the potholes were full of water so you have to be extra vigilant and careful.   Fife drivers hug the line in the middle of the road: Even in 'Sunny Sussex' you meet drivers that have driven on our roads.

Back at Ivy the workmen were busy barrowing in the bottoming for the back garden;  I couldn't get a photograph because of the rain.

22.00   It has been a wet evening but the rain should begin to clear away by morning;  tomorrow we're to have light rain with sunny intervals.  It's going to be a working day for me;  got to do some 'ousework before Christmas.

The  Rural Developments team have been busy sorting out the back garden... I'm hoping to get a photograph of the action tomorrow.   It was too wet to go out with the camera this afternoon.

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
