Cloudy ....

13th May 2024 (Monday)    08.00 .... the thunder storms bypassed last night;  the nearest lightning

strike being off Crail to the Easy and Auchtertool to the West.  The West  side of the UK got the worst of it.    The air is fresher and cleaner this morning;  actually it feels cool after the warm air of the past few days.... and I'm feeling spritelier than I did yesterday and plan to go out on the bike sometime today.    Although there's a lot of cloud just now the forecast is good...."sunny intervals and a moderate breeze" .... a good drying day!

14.15    The mist we had earlier has cleared away and we are now enjoying  a sunny and warm day.   I went out for  a short run on the bike to discharge the battery ... only up to 'Sea Tangle road' and the Pony Field.    The 'plan' is to go for another run after the battery is fully charged.

20.00    It has been a bonnie day but the sky clouded over and the  air became chilly so I didn't go out on the bike again.... and I won't be biking tomorrow because light rain is mentioned for KY9.   This spell of 'warm and sunny' weather had me thinking summer summer thoughts;  you know sun cream and shorts etc.  That reminds me; I saw an Orange Tip butterfly this morning.... and a huge flock of Swallows and House Martins yesterday, so summer is coming.... and hopefully it's going to be a good one!

I've had a rest day today... and tomorrow will be another one!   I must to learn to pace myself better when I tackle any 'jobs';  it takes days to recover when I don't do that.  I remember Jimmy having the same problem, and I didn't understand what he meant.   I do now!   The problem this time was cleaning out the wee shed etc.
Oops... there's a washing to bring in!

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
