Interesting sky ....

25th May 2025 (Saturday)    07.30....  At the moment there's a lot of cloud, but it's interesting

cloud.... and it's breaking up.   There's very little wind and it's reasonably warm.   I had planned to go out earlier but, at 05.30 it was a bit grey.  I'll have another cuppa, then go for the paper.... and potter my way round the villages before the streets become busy.   

12.00    I had an enjoyable 'paper run' this morning.... and to celebrate I bought a Cherry cake....one of my 'five a day'!   Apart from a few golfers going for early tee off times, the streets were quiet;  though an old '95' bus, at the 'Stop' in Elie, was making a lot o' noise!  I've heard tanks on the ranges at Aldershot that made less noise. The tide was well out but there was enough water to allow the Gannets to feed just off the harbour:  they seemed to be catching something.... probably Sand Eels.   There was a big beach with a goodly number of dogs dragging their humans out for a walk..... and some folk were wading about in the water;  from where I was (The Toft) they sounded like the gulls that were conspicuous by their absence.   Having had an enjoyable morning, I intend going up to Chapel Green for 'afternoon coffee;  in the meantime I'm going to have a 'lite bite' lunch.


22.00    I ended up doing a washing and ironing in the afternoon so never went out on the bike.   The battery has been charged for the next good  day: and that won't be tomorrow if the weather forecasters have got it right.... "heavy rain" with a moderate Easterly wind.   I'm going to Methil to visit Alice who is in need of annoying tomorrow.   And I'm good at that.

 'JB' is coming up for a holiday, arriving on the 8th June, so I'll be in 'Flap On' mode for the next week or so: got to find his bed which is being used as a soft shelf for 'bits and pieces' at present.   Tomorrow is a 'rest day', then it will be all action for at least a couple of hours on Monday.

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
