"Good Morrrrrrrrrrrrrrning"......

23rd January 2024 (Tuesday)    08.00 .... Apart from the Aberdour cam, the Fife Weather cams

'Ferry Corner' - pre 1947.

are all showing an overcast sky;  the Aberdour one has a touch of sunrise pink in the sky.  The weather forecast is not very encouraging.... freshening winds with rain moving in by 10.23.   A 'shopping day' forecast.  That's got me in a creative mood;  I'm going to create another mug o' tea;  then go shopping.    Tomorrow has a better 'play day' weather forecast.

16.30    The shopping mission was 100% successful;  unfortunately my 'mooch a coffee' mission was not.... Alice wisnae in!    I did think of going down to the local coffee shop but by this time the rain was heavy so I bumbled my way home and had a, slightly later that usual, mug o' my own 'moooooooorning coffee'.   

My afternoon has been spent working on the computer, having a catnap in front of the tele... and browsing the Extensive Alberto Photograph Archive' (hereafter EAPA).   A very satisfactory day apart from Alice being out .... and the manky weather.  The rain has turned showery and the wind is freshening as per forecast so we are in for another windy night, though not as bad as Storm Isha.

Anstruther lifeboat on exercise at Elie harbour.

19.45   Tomorrow's weather is going to be windy (F7 - 8)but dry and should begin to moderate about 11.38.   This improvement with the weather is good because we, 'The Team', are going to the 19th for lunch... to celebrate Kirsty's birthday.  The improvement (with the weather) is short lived as more unsettled weather is coming our way on Thursday.... and Saturday.

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
