Sunny spells ....

4th June 2024 (Tuesday)     08.45 .... It's bright and breezy (W) just now;  but the weather cam at

Lochgelly shows rain so showers might come our way later.   I had thought of going up to Chapel Green after breakfast but I'll do that in the afternoon.... assuming the weather is  'showery with long sunny spells'.

16.00    It has been bonnie but breezy old day, with the occasional  light shower.   The showers should increase in number and intensity; I've just hung out a washing!   I went to Leven to buy a single Duvet and cover... and washed the cover and pillow case.   I went to Methil to have a cuppa with Alice; and get her to help me pick up what I wanted.   
The Bawbee Brig has been 'open' for a couple of weeks, but temporary traffic lights were in operation this morning; protecting a team of workmen.   I joined the traffic queue just beyond the Bus Station roundabout:  it took 22 minutes to travel the 50 metres to where light was (just short of the roundabout at the East end of the Brig.   The problem was that traffic, coming onto the roundabout from the right

has the right of way... and they didn't have a  temporary traffic light.  I felt sorry for the driver of the bus (a No7) who was going to be 20 odd minutes late at the first Stop he reached:  he got up to the roundabout and had to stop until 15 (yes I counted them) cars went through.   After the calming cuppa  at Alice's we did the shopping ... by way of the 'Iron Brig'.

20.30    After a 'lite bite' dinner I biked up to Chapel Green to keep the legs in biking trim.    The first thing I noticed was that the air was much colder than it had been.... almost a feel of winter in the air!   I have seen the weather forecast since and snow might fall on the higher peaks of the Grampians etc.   It is a bonnie evening and I enjoyed Chapel Green .... as long as I stayed out of the wind.   
I've had a quiet day;  and, with Alice's aid, got the bits and pieces I wanted.   The duvet cover has been

washed and ironed:  the plan being to sort out the beds tomorrow.   Tomorrow won't be a 'rest' day but I'm not going to overdo it;  but I'll take 'time out' to have a turn round the villages.... assuming it's not going to be cauld on the lugs.

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
