Dust free morning ....

29th March 2024 (Friday)     "Happy Easter" to everyone .... enjoy this Holiday weekend.

08.45    we've had a lot of overnight rain... and it still is, raining that is,  but the sky is starting to break up


and sunny spells will soon brighten up this Good Friday morning.   We could have a few showers with  interesting clouds, so a bonnie day ahead.   There's a gentle breeze from the SSW .... I might get the bike out later; because it's not cold;  that said, the roads will be busy today.

21.00   Although it was a lovely day, the roads were to busy for me going out on the bike... but I had a walk up to the Pony Field in the middle of the afternoon.    I cold see showers across towards Edinburgh but we were lucky and didn't get one until late afternoon.... just after I got back from my walk.  I had a washing on the line and noticed a threatening cloud heading for Ivy Cottage!   I made it in time and got the washing in, just as the first raindrops began to fall.  The rain didn't last long but I see that we've had another shower recently ....I was oot at the bucket.

Ferry Road has been busy so I imagine that the villages are busy; the plans is to hover around Ivy tomorrow then go out on the bike on Sunday by which time the roads will be quieter.    The weather is forecast to be 'good' for Saturday, and Sunday, with Sunday being the better of the two days: Hopefully  quiet enough.... and warm enough for me to get the bike out. 

22.15   Apparently somebody called Beyoncé has made a Country music record;  I don't see how that can be headlines in the News... but it has been today.   Then again I have never heard of her, nor heard her singing so I'm maybe missing something.   I'll Google her after this update to find out why she is so important.

22.25   Oops;   I apologise to all the Beyoncé fans;  apparently she is the best of the best.... a proper 'All American' girl!   I'm a Jimmy Shand fan.

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
