Cloudy ....

30th June 2024 (Sunday)     09.30 .... It's a quiet morning.... but not very summery looking because

the sky is overcast,.... with light rain showers mentioned in the weather forecast.   Somebody was busy early this morning;  Ferry Road has been 'coned off' so that Scottish Water  can begin work tomorrow morning.   The road isn't  'Closed' but will be tomorrow morning.   I've moved to car round to St Margaret's.

20.30    The villages have been busy with holiday makers. ... and with day trippers to the beach.  I didn't go out on the bike until the roads were quieter;  which was later in the afternoon.   It was warm, with only a light breeze gently pushing fluffy clouds across the sky to make interesting photos.  The golf course was fairly busy.... and there was one golfer practicing on the Pony Feld.   We chatted before Andrew (Kinneuchar Station) started hitting balls towards the North end of the Pony Field.... and I louped onto the bike to go up to Chapel Green.   I met Ann, Barbara and Chris at the bottom of Ferry Road, so stopped to chat to them before  going up the High Street to Chapel Green.    The 'Green' was quiet, in fact I didn't see anyone up there, but did see a few folk walking along the beach.   It has been a quiet end to my afternoon.


The car is now moored up in the 'Disabled' space at the toon Hall.... and Ferry Road now ready to be 'Closed', to allow Scottish Water to work in safety.   The 'Ferry Corner' has been a busy old corner for the past few years.   What have I done today?.... the answer to that is 'not a lot'!    I manage to fall asleep in front of the tele ... even after a good night's sleep.   I'm beginning to wonder if that last 'bug' I had was in fact COVID (three weeks before I had my booster):  it's had the same effect as the first time I had it (COVID).   I was reading on the BBC page that COVID is on the rise again.   Anyway I'm feeling better ... but tired!

22.30    On Thursday past 8 of our local Golf House Club golfers played 100 holes (I think it was actually 101) round the local course, to raise money for the East Neuk First Responders... an independent charity, that responds and attends to anyone suffering life threatening emergencies, in the local area. The eight golfers, who each walked a marathon  playing their marathon round of 'gowf',
raised a over £17,000  for the First Responders.  Well done and congratulations boys!   Now I'm thinkin' of all the action shots I that I could have had.

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
