Bright and breezy .....

26th January 2024 (Friday)     08.00.....We have a bonnie morning (a good 'drying day'), though


there is a low chance of light showers around midday.   The sheets will be dry.... and ironed by then.  This is going to be a 'rest and relax' day on the computer.... with 'time out' to go for the paper, and I might have wee wander to the beach, depending on how windy it is.   It's F6 on Largo Bay just now.

15.30   It has been a perfect 'drying day;  and a perfect day for resurfacing the trench on Ferry Road.  The workmen have reinstated the road surface as far as they can  go: it's now ready for a set of new (bright and shiny) Double Yellow lines.   While the men were working like the clappers outside, I was doing the same inside.   Working that is ... but not 'like the clappers'.   The bed linen dried in the frisky wind, and is ready to iron;  that will be done immediately after this update;  and I did a some work in the kitchen; filling the tea bag caddy being one of the jobs.  With all the activity outside I haven't been further than the pavement;  with the camera and chatting to the workmen.   I'd say that I have enjoyed a really good 'rest day'.   


22.30    I've been tired and had a 'lazy' day today, which usually happens after I have a decent 'work'....  day like I had yesterday.   Tomorrow I am going to Leven to do a shopping then up to Methil to visit Alice.   From next week going to Leven will be different with the road being 'closed', between Elie and the Kinneuchar Station Junction according to the signage.   It probably means a trip to the 'Y' junction between St Monans and Pittenweem, to join the B942, because the alternative roads are not suited to huge lorries and lots of traffic.

Overcast with light rain .....

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
