Damp ....

24th May 2024 (Friday)    09.00 .... We have a nicer looking sky this morning;  it's mostly overcast


butmuch lighter than it has been for the past couple o' days.  It's not actually raining just now but light rain/drizzle could come in off the North Sea in the morning, with sunny spells forecast for the afternoon.  It looks like being a bonnie holiday weekend.

12.45    The sun has broken through, but there's a sight chance of light showers;  I'll go out on the bike after a 'lite bite' lunch... if the roads are not too busy.  I expect the villages to be busy over the weekend.

20.00   We has a lovely afternoon with only one shower late in the afternoon.   We were lucky because I could see heavy showers towards the West of Fife and along the 'Sooth side'.   I had a quiet day (had a migraine in the morning) watching the Post Office inquiry intermittently.   This was the last day of Paula Vennels (former Post Office CEO) being questioned.   For 'time out', and some exercise, I went out on the bike, in the middle of the afternoon;  only up to Chapel Green and the Pony Field.   The golf course is looking  really bonnie just now....a palette of bonnie, fresh greens, like the rest of the countryside.   

22.00 The 'plan' for tomorrow... is to get up and out early, before the roads get busy, because it's going to be a bonnie day and the villages will be busy: High tide is at 16.00 so there will be a big beach most of the day.
I've had a quiet but enjoyable day.... and hope to be more active tomorrow.   I'm off to make the 'orlicks then off to bed to read my book:  the book is a Clive Cussler  'All American action one:  plate full of bullets for breakfast, an old tramp steamer (the 'Oregon' that can do 60 knots sideways), and a sniper that can fire a bullet into the muzzle of an enemy sniper's rifle a mile and a half away! Loads o' action.

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
