Cold south east breeze ....

8th March 2024 (Friday)    08.15 ....The cold wind off the North Sea is still with us (and will be for

Colin at the 4th tee.

a few days) so it's a 'confined to barracks' (or the car) day for me;  lot's of work to do on the computer....and I'll make a batch o' 'Cottage Pies' in the afternoon, so I'm happy.   It's not 'iggzactly' a walk on the beach morning.... but dogs don't know that, and will have their owners out for a 'frolic in the fresh air, regardless of the wind.   'Thick clouds and a fresh breeze is the weather forecast'.   I'm going to have breakfast .... and another cuppa!

10.45    The tautties have been peeled for the afternoon's Cottage Pie making session;  had it been warmer I'd have gone out on the bike now, but it's bitterly cold, so I'll have morrrrrrrning coffee and a bicci.   I'd say that, having looked at the forecast for the weekend, the place to be is anywhere on the West coast:  however, we should get sunny spells on Sunday... with light showers, and the cold Easterly wind.   I could get a lot work done on the computer this weekend.   Maybe some 'ousework.   Orf to put on the kettle.

18th tee.

13.00    The sky had 'brightened up, and I felt 'brave' enough to take a wander up to the seat at the 17th green:   I got as far as the 4th tee where I met, and chatted with Colin who was out for a few holes; as were a couple of girls who were teeing off on the 18th.    I took a few photos.... and decided that it was too cold to sit on the seat so bumbled my way back to Ivy.      

15.30   I've been on the computer and thought I'd have a daunder out to the street to see what was happening ... if anything!    Nothing was 'appening, but I can tell you that it's bitterly cold and definitely not a 'play day'.   In fact it's not going to be a 'play weekend' if the weather forecasters have got it right.   The hatches have been battened, the kettle is 'on' and I am settling down for the evening.   I hope I can find something decent to watch on the tele.

22.30    Friday has been bitterly cold all day.... and Saturday and Sunday more of the same;  plus good chance of light rain on Sunday.   A good weekend to be working inside I'm thinking.

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
