Fresh breeze from the SE....

9th March 2024 (Saturday)     08.30 ..... The sky is heavily overcast and we have a fresh breeze off


the North Sea.... with the occasional pot of drizzle in the wind.   It's cold but there isn't any dust.   'Blob' has been fed, and I've had a look up and down Ferry Road;  it's going to be a computer and ousework day for me.   By 'ousework I mean 'stay in and warm'..... with the kettle on standby.   I'd like a few sunny spells drift over, to brighten up what, at the moment is a drab kind o' sky.

11.30   I decided to go for the paper via the Ferry Road and the Elie road;  sort of back to the 'good old days' after the roadworks.   In fact I really went back to the 'good old days' ... I forgot the paper, but    remembered to visit the harbour!   The harbour was busy;  our local swimmers were in the water... and I though it was cold.   It is cold.... the swimmers are brave!    There was drizzle blowin' in the wind so I didn't linger and was back in Ivy by 10.30.   I doubt if I'll be out again today.

16.30    Scotland were beaten 31 - 29 by Italy in Rome;  I never like watching Scotland losing, but it was almost worth it today just to see the happy faces of the Italian team, after winning their first home game in 11 years.   I enjoyed that game.  England v Ireland is coming on so I'll make a cuppa and then settle down to watch that game.


19.00    The weather continued overcast and cold with occasional light spells of drizzle all day.... so not a day to be frolicking about outside.   I watched the Rugby and did some 'ousework, but mostly this has been a lazy day.   Light rain is going to move in overnight and be heavy tomorrow.  Heavy rain with a fresh Easterly breeze' is forecast for Sunday: Another stay in and warm 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
