Cloudy ....

27th July 2024 (Saturday)    09.30 .... The sky is overcast and we've a few spits and spots o' rain; 


but it's a nice enough morning..... and sunny spells are expected later.    I'm going to spend most of the day pottering around Ivy.... and watching the Olympics.   And catnapping!.... I'm an excellent 'catnapper'.   

21.00    It has been  a really bonnie day here.   Ferry Road was busy so I'm thinkin' this is a changeover weekend. 
Actually when you think of it, every weekend is a changeover weekend, because we're getting visitors all the year round.   It's not that many years ago that Earlsferry (the Royal Burgh of)   was more or less empty at certain times of the year....such as from the end  October to a week or so before Christmas.... and after New Year to Easter.   Earlsferry is a proper community again.... all year round.

I've been watching the Olympics we have a Bronze in the Women's diving!   OK.... the Aussie made a catastrophic error;   but as someone said you never know what's going to happen in diving.    I think it might have been Tom Daly that said that.   It has been an interesting afternoon at the Olympics, and I have enjoyed  watching it.... and we've won a few more medals.


Last night was once again to hot for me;  and I ended up reading my book.   It's a bonnie evening just now, but we have had a shower, nothing much.... in fact miniscule compared to the usual Scottish showers.
Alice and Izzy are having a short break up in Nairn.   Alice phoned to say that she is i/c;  and  the weather is lovely.
The forecast is for KY9 to be 'sunny and warm';  it's very frustrating not being able to go out on the bike.... and tomorrow looks like being a perfect day.    That said;  the roads will be busy.

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
