Breezy ....

21st January 2024 (Sunday)    08.45.... At the moment we have a mostly cloudy sky with

'The Ferry' High Street this morning.

moderate breeze from the SW;  however the wind is to freshen up to F7-8 and bring rain with it by afternoon so not a 'play day'.   I'm going to frolic along to Leven and Methil in the morrrrrrning (shopping and visiting Alice); then back to Ivy to work and batten down the hatches in readiness for a windy night.   We're in for a breezy old week if the weather turns out as forecast.

19.30   Alice and I did a wee bit shopping on what has been a wet and windy day;  and is going to be a windy night, with the rain becoming less heavy.   The Ivy hatches are battened doon;  I'm hoping that Storm Isha is quieter than forecast.   At the moment the wind is F7 - 8 out in the Firth and is supposed to be around that until after midnight.  If the rain does stop the wind should sook up some of the water that fell today.   Right now I'm going to have a mug of chocolate and find something to watch on the tele.  The Final of the snooker is tonight.

The calm before Storm Isha.

22.30    There's a frisky old wind tonight (F8 - 9 out in the Firth) but it should begin to moderate after midnight;  at least the rain has stopped.   I was out at the bucket.   Tomorrow is going to be windy all day (F7 - 8) with rain so not a pleasant day at all.   I am going to spend the day working in the kitchen and on the computer.... and staying warm.

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
