Interesting sky.....

2nd March 2024 (Saturday)    08.30 .... After overnight rain the sky is beginning to break up: we

Damp morning at Elie and Earlsferry.

could have a few bright, or even  sunny, spells by mid morning.  Unfortunately the forecast for today is (nae stupid pause) 'light rain with a moderate breeze (E)'.... with the rain returning later in the afternoon.    I've been out to feed 'Blob' and can tell you that, although not raining, it is cauld and damp....not a pleasant morning; but we have an interesting sky!  

11.30    The paper(s) have been uplifted and I had a quick trip to the harbour;  it was raining at that time so I only got a few 'wet look' photos.  However the sky has cleared and I'm thinking of having a wander to the beach after I have a cuppa.   Must 'go... 'slight flap on';  got a boiling kettle to attend to.

16.00    After the cuppa (mentioned above) I wandered down to the dunes (I don't think I could access the beach because of the drop after last months storms) and enjoyed  sitting on one of the seats, watching folk wandering along the beach with their dogs.   Like me, a lot of people had taken the


chance to enjoy the sunshine after the rain; it was a very calming sitting in the warm Spring sun.  I began to think 'Spring cleaning' .... but promptly put that idea on the shelf, and took a few photos of folk on the beach... before wandering back to Ivy to put on the kettle and read the papers.  I have had a lazy kind of  day.

20.30   I've just been out at the bucket and discovered it was raining.   Since then I've looked at the weather forecast and we're to have some overnight rain but it is going to clear away by morning to give us a Sunday of 'sunny intervals with a light breeze'.... and no mention of 'precipitation!   Frost is mentioned for the south of England.  I'm fed up of wintry weather and looking forward to seeing the new buds bursting open, and the fresh greens of Spring!

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 f...

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 l...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
