Wet and windy ....

9th April 2024 (Tuesday)    08.30.... There has been a lot of heavy rain overnight, but, although still


raining, it isn't as heavy as it was when I looked out at 05.00.   The forecast is for us to have rain (of the heavy kind) until lunch time then it should start to slacken off and move away;  we could end the day with a few sunny spells!  Pollution levels are low... so not all doom and gloom.

17.00   I've been browsing  the Alberto Archive.... for stuff that might be useful to the Kinneuchar Project;  and I found some!   I also found a load of other photographs not relating to the 'Kinneuchar Project'.... but awfie distracting!   So I've been enjoying myself.   I also took 'time out' , now and again, to watch Alan Bates in the PO scandal Enquiry.   The Post Office has much to answer for.   I know that, at the end of the day the tax payer is footing the Bill;  but, if we can afford to pay billions for a weapon that isn't guaranteed to work (Trident), we can well afford to recompense the Post Masters properly!


When I was out at the gate browsing the activity on Ferry Road I thought that the temperature had dropped.   It has stopped raining ... and I thought I, fleetingly, saw a blue patch in the sky.   I might go up to the golf course if the day ends with 'sunny spells'.

19.30   Although we have 'sunny spells' to end the day, I changed my mind about going up to the golf course;  it's much colder than it was earlier.   It's a nice enough evening;  but cold out in the open.

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
