Cloudy but dry ....

19th March 2024 (Tuesday)     08.00 .... There's a lot of cloud blowing over on a Westerly wind


but sunny intervals are forecast and should be with us soon.... with the chance of a light showers.  We like long sunny intervals with short (if any) showers.   This could be a good drying day so I have a washing going through.   It's a bit breezy for me going out on the bike but the wind might moderate later in the afternoon; I pranged the auld knee bone a few days ago so I'm taking it easy.

19.00    It has been a good 'drying day' .... I now have an ironing to do!   I've had a run out in the car today, up to The Lathallan Lodge entrance to Balcarres Estate, then down through the estate and home by way of Kinneuchar.   Stopping a couple o' times to snap a few photos.   

It has been a bonnie day, unfortunately light rain is forecast for tomorrow.   I am looking for a string  of 'bonnie days'.... not just one now and again.

22.30  I'm having visitors on Saturday!.... Iain, Jackie and Hazel (Auchnagatt) are coming down for my birthday.   (My ... er ... 22nd!)   Actually I have a busy(ish) few days ahead 'cos I'm going to the 19th for lunch with 'The Team' on Thursday and visiting Alice on Friday.   I'm a happy boy.

Balcarres Estate.

Apart from the washing and ironing this has been another 'rest day';  working on the computer isn't physically tiring, but it does make me feel tired, and that I have been working.   I'll be glad to get out for a decent run on the bike.... once the knee bone settles down.   That won't be until at least  next week.

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
