28th April 2024 (Sunday)    09.00 .... Light rain is forecast for our area today, and Ferry Road is

Apple Blossom.

wet so we've already had some rain;  I'm thinkin' that this could be a rest day.   There's a cold breeze from the NE and the sky looks much more threatening then it did an hour ago;  this means that we could be in for a spell of wet and cold weather;  with sunny spells later in the afternoon and evening.   

19.38(That was a good year)    The weather has been a bit "iffy" today so I went to Methil to admire Alice's, freshly painted, garden seat.  Alice has done a good  of the actual painting;  but she doesn't like the colour now that she sees it on the seat....'Sea Green'!  Her favourite next choice colour would be 'Methil Purple'.... but I don't think B 'n Q will have that in stock; so she is thinking of any green that isn't 'Sea green'.  

Due to the ever present chance of showers I never got any more of Maggie's shed painted.    The weather for KY9 this week is going to be warmer, with a mix of sunshine and showers, or longer spells of rain.   At least it's going to be warmer.... and hopefully the start of Spring and Summer temperatures! 

Alice....admiring her handiwork.
I'm hoping for a warm and dry day this week to finish painting the shed.   When I got back from Alice's I changed into the working togs to begin painting, but spits and spots o' rain began to fall, and did so intermittently, so I gave up on that plan.... and made a cuppa then fell sound asleep!   

I'm going to make my 'orlicks then find something to watch on the tele.

22.30   I found a documentary to watch;  all about the building, launching, and making operational, the James Webb Space Telescope.  A fascinating programme.   It's now time for bed and my bedtime book!

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
