Bright and breezy .....

7th April 2024 (Sunday)     09.00 .... It's a beautiful morrrrrrrning.... mostly sunny with quite a few


shower clouds around;  actually we will catch a few showers because I hung out a washing.   It's only towels so I'll leave them out until they dry;  we're due a dry day in the next six weeks or so.      I'm going to visit Alice today; she's always 'happy', and I need to unwind after the Easter holidays.   It's breakfast time.

18.30  At last we have definite proof of climate change;  I had a washing out and it didn't rain!    Now I am worried that we could be in for a long, hot and dry summer.   I'm a 'happy boy'.    I enjoyed my morning with Alice, who is a 'happy girl' because she had washing out too!   We didn't need to o to the shops so we just sat and chatted, with a cuppa and large portion of carrot cake!     The time passed swiftly and it was 'lunch time' .... and still nae sign of Babs ... oops Barbara ... going for her paper.   As is normal we  had a mug o' coffee before I set off for home.   The roads were quiet going into the East Neuk, but busy going the other way... this must be the end of the Easter break.   I'm contemplating going for a short walk after this update;  before settling down to watch the snooker.


22.30   I went down to the beach for a short walk, but it was to windy...and cold.... to linger stay there for long.   The beach was quiet with only a couple of dogs dragging their owners out for some fresh air.   Tomorrow is going to be another bonnie day ....  but not as windy!   Tuesday?....  a Yellow warning for heavy rain!

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
