Nice morning with a cool SE breeze....

7th March 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... It's a nice morning but the breeze coming off the North Sea
March - 2006.

is cauld;  that said we should have sunny spells, once the sun rises above a big bank o' cloud.    It's never going to be warm today but it will be brighter.   I'm going to Methil to visit Alice;  we're gong to have lunch at the local kirk.   It's time for another cuppa .... and breakfast.   'Blob' has been fed. 

09.00 .... The sun is struggling to rise above the cloudbank; because the cloudbank is moving NW just that wee bit faster than the sun is rising.   Hopefully the sun should start to burn back said clouds.... and we will be bathed in lovely sunny spells.   I'm going to have another cuppa.

18.30  The sky brightened up a bit in the middle part of the day, but the sunny spells never got going.... and the cold breeze off the sea was with us the whole time.   Not the most pleasant of days as far as the weather went.
As planned I went to Leven and Methil;  I got through by way of Kinneuchar and Colinsburgh.   I had hoped to use the Balchrystie road but it was 'Closed'.   The Balchrystie road must be the only bit that needs work done;  the finishing date is the 15th March.  As planned Alice and I went to
Elie - March 2006.

Sainsbury's to do some shopping.... and were back at HQ in time to go for lunch in the Wellesley Kirk Hall.  There's a  good choice of food.... we had 'Fish 'n Chips'.   Two weeks ago we had roast beef with all the trimmings.... and helpings are big!    After coffee and a goodie back at Alice's HQ,  I set off for Ivy and was back home by 14.00.   The messages were in their appropriate places, tea made and me sound asleep in front of the tele, by 14.30;  after an enjoyable, relaxing 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
