Overcast sky ....

11th March 2024 (Monday)     08.00 .... We have an overcast sky this morning, with a light wind

Ferry Road late this afternoon.

off the North Sea and not warm.   I'm hoping for 'sunny spells' or at least a brighter sky in the afternoon, but at the moment it looks more like we could have 'drizzle spells'.   I'm looking forward to visiting Alice.... we might even do a wee bit shopping.   It's breakfast time. 

19.38  (That was a good year)    Once again the weather has been disappointing but I enjoyed my day;  Alice does 'happy' even on grey days.   And made Eton Mess for sweet!   Yes I've had a good day.   On my way to Methil I went via Kinneuchar and Colinsburgh and, when passing the Balchrystie junction,  noticed that that section of the road was 'Open' .... no cones etc.  I decided that I'd go that way on my way home.   And I did.   I had expected to come across some signs of work being done but, as far as I could see, nothing had been done to the stretch of road between Kinneuchar Station junction and Balchrystie.   But the trees on the West side of the Elie road were getting the 'chop' today;  and the work units were being remove from the roadside at the Kinneuchar junction..   Stewart had mentioned a couple of months ago that the trees were going to get the 'chop', so I biked up the Elie road a week or so ago and took a batch of of photographs for the Archive.   When the weather improves (and it will) I'll bike the road to get the 'after' photographs.

Tomorrow is going to be another 'grey' day, so I won't be out on the bike;  there's a chance of 'light rain'  so it will be cold and damp.  A few sunny spells would be welcome!

Elie shops - 16/02/2003.

22.45   I don't have a 'plan' for tomorrow;  but with the weather forecast being much the same as today's I'll most likely be on the computer.   The weather is supposed to star to get warmer from tomorrow so there's a chance I might get out on the bike by the end of the week.    I think the big job for tomorrow will be steeping my feet and  prunin' my 'tae nails';  that's always a challenging job.  It's also quite fascinating seeing how far the clippings go. I now have a 'plan' for tomorrow!   Cut my tae nails and 'oover up the clippin's!   It's little things that make life interesting.

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
