Cloudy and damp ....

6th March 2024 (Wednesday)    08.30 .... we don't have a very interesting sky this morning....

Ivy Cottage hanging basket - 2003!

cloud with light drizzle now and again has drifted in from the North Sea, so it's not a pleasant start to the day.   It might brighten up later but the forecast doesn't mention  'sunny spells'.   I'm glad that I cleaned the windows yesterday;  today is a 'stay in, warm and cosy' day.  I'll be in front of the computer.... or the tele.

11.30    I've been watching 'Deadliest Catch';  fishing for crab in the Bering Sea in winter is not a job I'd want to do....it has to be one of the worst jobs on the planet.   I'm going to have a cuppa then write up a bit of the 'Kinneuchar Project'.   It's a good kind o' day for doing that.  I've been out and it looks like the sky is breaking up a bit.... we might get a few sunny spells later in the afternoon.   I might take a turn 'round the block' on the bike if sunny spells arrive.... and the wind moderates.

19.00    The sky brightened for a wee while in the afternoon, but the wind hadn't moderated, so I never went out....it wasn't a good day for me going out, and I was enjoying writing up the Kinneuchar Project stuff anyway.   The car is pointing North so I'm going to Leven and Methil tomorrow.... the weather is going to be much the same as today's, but I'm hoping for sunny spells in the afternoon!   And Alice needs annoying!

22.30    I have had a restful day;  and I was in need of it after cleaning the windows yesterday!   Ye Gods.... that used to be an easy job.   Although it has been a 'lazy' day I've enjoyed writing up the Kinneuchar stuff.   I'm happy with multiple 'projects' going at the same time, because I can pick

'Grange House' - Earlsferry.

whichever one I feel in the mood to do.   It might be drawing nest week.   Tomorrow I'm visiting Alice and we'll do a wee bit shopping before going to the local kirk for lunch.  I'll be glad when I don't have to travel through Colinsburgh every time I go to Leven: Colinsburgh Main Street is not traffic friendly....  especially with the extra traffic  just now.   Orf to make the 'white stuff' then into bed with my book.

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
