Misty ....

18th  May 2024 (Saturday)    08.45 .... It was foggy when I looked out at 05.30  so I cancelled the

'plan' to go out early, and went back to bed.   The  mist is still with us, but starting to lift, and  we should have a lovely, 'sunny and warm', day soon..... there's a light breeze (E) so there will be wind chill out in the open.   I'll go out after another cuppa;  this is going to be a play/rest day.

13.15   My word... we have an absolutely gorgeous day at Elie and Earlsferry!   The mist was still fairly thick when I went out on the bike, and I got a set of local misty photographs: the harbour was busy... and will be most of the day I imagine:  in fact it could end up one of those tricky days of getting down to, and out from, the harbour.    The beach was also busy and will be really busy in the afternoon;  high tide was at midday so we have an expanding beach for the afternoon.


16.30    The mist rolling in, from the North Sea, has got rid of 'wall to wall' blue sky that we were enjoying;  however, it has been a bonnie day most of the time, and I'm sure the beach would have been busy.   I've been sitting in The Hutte reading a book that was 'delivered' when I was out this morning.   I did mention that this was to be a 'rest and play' day.   Oh ....I did some work;  peeled tautties for a batch o' 'Cottage Pies' that I'm planning on making.





21.00    It's misty and much colder now;  and it will be misty (and cold) tomorrow morning.   It's going to be cloudier tomorrow with a light Easterly wind so maybe not such a good day for the beach;  until the afternoon.   I don't think I'll be going out on the bike early!   
With new roadworks starting in Upper Largo on Monday;  through traffic will be controlled by
temporary traffic lights (presumably 3 - way) so there will hold ups at busy times.   There's no reasonable 'alternative'  route so we'll just have to live with it.

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
