Wet....

27th March 2024 (Wednesday)    "Happy Birthday to Michael/Mike (No 1 son) who is 61 ...one year older today.   

08.30   It's dull, wet and windy just now, but that should all change by lunch time when 'sunny spells' are


due arrive.... probably off the '95' bus!  Getting out of bed this morning took a bit of will power, but I'm vertical, showered ...and ready to go out to play.   I went out as far as the front gate to get 'this morning's weather' photograph:  I won't venture out again until the sun breaks through!

10.15   Having looked at the Fife Weather cams for cheering signs and found none, I am having a mug o' coffee before working on the computer.   So far this morning I have watched the News, and a programme about the US of A entering the 'space age' after WWII, using German scientists and the German V2 rocket to get them started.

20.00    The sun eventually broke through to give us a very welcome sunny spell that dried things up;  then we had a shower.   We're having a mixed spell of weather right enough;  with another day of mixed weather tomorrow.  The holiday weekend weather is going to be sunnier but not overly warm.   I'd hoped to sit in the reinstated garden by Easter but that hasn't happened;  that said the weather is not 'iggzactly' the sitting out kind anyway.  The Easter weekend has always been stressful, and exceptionally busy, with Earlsferry choc a bloc with cars.   I'll just have to get the bike out.... if the weather is friendly, which is highly unlikely.   

I finally managed to get the 'hurdy gurdy' into the car boot:  I forgot that you had to lower the handles to do that.  My breathing has been seriously bad for the past couple of weeks, due to the cold, damp and wind spell.....  hence the 'hurdy gurdy' in the car boot.

I've been rearranging some pictures;  that's heavy duty work for me.   The kirk tower and Elie lighthouse are diamond art but the photo doesn't do them justice;  they sparkle when you move around the room.

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
