Sunny spells ....

4th April 2024 (Thursday)     08.45 .... the rain has moved  away and we have a mix of light clouds


and blue sky this morrrrrning;  blue patches mean sunny spells now and again.   There's a light breeze from the ENE so the air is chilly .... but it will feel warmer in July ... oops... a wee while.   It is going to be really warm on Saturday!    I've had a good, restful night, and didn't get up until 07.45.... (with one comfort break at 02.15).   I've had breakfast... now I need another cuppa.  'Flap on'... I'm feeling excitable.

15.00   I went and put George's bucket out... then up to the golf course to get a few action shots.  Having done all that I ten came home by way of Rotten Row, were I met Ken (who was contemplating taking Irene's shopping out of the car boot)... then Irene came out and Ken stopped contemplating and did start to to take in the shopping.   While Ken was doing that, Irene and I caught up with loads o' local News.  Eventually spits and spots o' rain came over and we went our separate ways.   The rain didn't last long but there could be more light showers by the look o' the sky.

19.45   I've had a quiet afternoon working on the computer and watching the TV.    No matter how many times I've seen 'Night Mail' I always watch it as if I've never seen it before.   It was made by the GPO Film Unit in 1936, .... maybe the age has something to do with it.   Anyway that was one of the 'documentaries' that I watched.

It has been chilly today but at least we had spells of blue sky.   Already the sky is clouding over for our next batch of wet weather;  due to come in overnight and be with us most of the day.   The weekend is going to be warmer with mixed wet and windy weather.

22.30    I'm thinking that tomorrow might be a 'work' day if the weather forecast turns out as per

forecast.   In fact Saturday could be the same, but much warmer....with Sunday, being 'very windy with showers'.   Not a weekend for me going out on the bike.

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
