Overcast with drizzle ....

4th May 2024 (Saturday)    08.30 .... It's a peaceful kind of morrrrrrrrrring;  low cloud has



drifted in from the North Sea overnight with drizzle, but there's only a light breeze (ENE) so its wet.... but not cold.   All the Fife Weather cams are showing low cloud and dampness at present, but the light rain/drizzle should stop by the middle of the day.   Sunny spells aren't mentioned in the forecast, but we might get lucky be the end of the afternoon....pollen levels will be low!    I'll have a mix of writing/ research and watching the snooker World Championship, from the Crucible, Sheffield.  Busy day ahead.

17.00    The sky appears to be brightening up now, but most of the day it has been overcast..... and dry.  I took advantage of the drizzle moving away and had a walk down to, and along the bents.   The villages see to be busy, with more people walking on the beach than I expected;  it wasn't the bonniest of days, but at least it wasn't windy ad cold.  It was actually a good day for the camera;  atmospheric in a misty kind of way.   I left the beach and went up Siward Lane to Williamsburgh, into Rotten Row and onto the golf course at the Thistle Clubhouse.


I spotted three golfers leaving the second green and planned to catch them teeing off and coming down the third.    Which is 'iggzactly' what I did!   What I didn't see until I got back home to download the photographs was that Brian (my brother) was one of the golfers!  When I'm looking through the viewfinder I don't see who is in the picture; I wait for folk  to wander to where I want them to be.

19.30   The brighter weather never arrived.... not as sunny spells anyway.  Tomorrow should be brighter after midday;  the morning could be cloudy with light rain.

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
