Breezy ....

17th May 2024 (Friday)    08.30 .... it's a 'bright and breezy morning;  there's a moderate wind


from the ENE and a lot of fluffy cloud around just now.   It's going to be a 'play day'.   I'll go out on the bike sometime today, but I intend doing some 'ousework first .... if I can get into a working mood.   Right now I'm not in a a working mood!

16.00   Hanging out a washing has been the only 'work' thing I've done so far today;  but I did take 'time out'  on the bike.   I had an enjoyable run up to Kinneuchar, with frequent stops to take photographs.   The countryside is looking brilliant just now and I came back with a load of 'photies tae play wi'.  Annoyingly I had a migraine not long after I got back home, and I'm now in 'rest mode'.  I've just remembered; I must put the bike battery on charge.

20.00    It has been a lovely day... even though there is a cool on shore breeze.   I never really got going after I put the bike battery 'on charge'; the battery should be fully charged in another hour or so  (taking three and a half hours to go from empty to 'full').  The weather forecast is excellent for tomorrow so I plan to go out early... before the roads get busy.   It's going to be misty first thing.... with only a light breeze.   It all depends on how misty it is and how I feel as to how far I go.  I'll certainly 'do' the villages.

The workmen arrived with stones to a build a 'retaining' wall where the patio joins onto the garden.  They will do the job in the next few weeks.   'Rural Developments' are always busy ... that's a good sign in the building industry.22.00   After a fairly busy day I'm tired and well ready for bed.   I'd like to be 'bright eyed and bushy tailed' tomorrow.... having had a leisurely afternoon today!
Apparently this is going to be a good night to see the Aurora Borealis... from 22.00 (now) and 02.00 tomorrow morning.

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
