Breezy ....

4th February 2024 (Sunday)    08.00 .... 'Cloudy with the chance of light rain showers.... and
Interesting clouds over The Royal 'Burrow'.

sunny spells' is the forecast for KY9 today (I added the sunny spells);  not a bad forecast considering the time of year.  Snowdrops have already brought the first breath of Spring, soon to be joined by daffodils, budding trees, and frolicking lambs.   Let's hope that winter doesn't have a sting in it's tail.... as it sometimes does .... now that I'm looking forward to Spring!

19.00    On the way to Leven I passed a field with a flock o' craws 'feedin a storm'.... the forecast for tomorrow is 'windy and wet' so that might well be the storm they are getting ready for.   I was on my way to Methil, to visit (and torment) Alice.   She had been baking semolina biscuits and they had to be sampled.  The biscuits are excellent.... but har ... er ...not soft; crisp.  We had a good blether... that lasted until lunch time.    Lunch was 'Lip Smackin' chicken done in sauce.... my word that was very tasty, followed by Apple Crumble.   I'm on a diet ... again!  


I had to wash Saharan dust off the car windscreen this morning;  a change from scrapin' ice off it.  It seems along way for dust to travel; but it is very fine.... and it had me thinkin' o' warmer places... like Cyprus. 

This has been a restful day for me so tomorrow will be a 'work'/ potter around kind o' day.   The weather forecast is 'strong winds and rain'; hmmmm.... could be a 'computer stuff' day.

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
