Overcast with light rain...

5th May 2024 (Sunday)    09.00 ... It's warm and overcast, with occasional light rain showers.... and a light breeze from the West.

Sunny spells should come our way by 'MC' time (11.00).   I'm thinking of getting the bike out when the sun breaks through;  it all depends on how frequent the light showers are.   I've been for the paper, (in the car).... I didn't bother with the harbour as it was spitting rain at the time.   It's a lovely morning... even though the weather is grey and damp.

16.30    With the weather friendly... and the wind from the West... I went out on the bike.... for the first time in  a couple of weeks.  I didn't set any records for going far, but the camera finger got plenty of exercise, even if the rest of me didn't: the intention being to get a few photos of the Spring greens of the trees and hedgerows.  I can well understand why our 'Pagan' ancestors worshipped  natural things, like the Sun, Moon, Stars and the natural cycle of life around them.    Being around all the new greenery was very therapeutic.  At the time I was out the sun was still trying to break through the cloud:  it has done so in the last hour or so, and we have a really lovely late afternoon.   I went out early because I knew that,

with a brightening sky, the roads would be busier:  and they were.  There was a steady stream of traffic coming into Elie (Park Place) on my way home:  I'd only been as far as Kinneuchar, then home by way of Elie and Chapel Green.  I'm a 'happy boy'.  It's amazing the difference a spell of decent weather can make.

18.30   The light rain mentioned in the forecast arrived about 18.00 and is to be with us overnight... and tomorrow morning.   The bike won't be out again for  another few days.

23.15     Heather Ray and Alistair came down in the evening and we had a good old catch up over a cup of coffee made by Alistair.... and biscuits.  The biscuits nullified the Weight Watchers lasagne I'd had for dinner!   The light rain was still falling when the left  for home (Chapel Green Lane).
I have no 'plan for tomorrow.... everything dep[ends on what the weather is doing!

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
