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.

Pittenweem swimming pool....

20th September 2017 (Wednesday) ... 13.30    When I went along to Elie for the papers this morning, I got slightly diverted and ended up along at the old Pittenweem tidal swimming pool.  Pittenweem  swimming pool.    Unfortunately we have a, mostly overcast, with occasional spits and spots of rain, morning.     I must go back on a ‘bright and  sunny’ morning... this will show up the different colours of the sandstone rocks etc better.    It is an interesting spot, and would have been busy in the 1930’s , 40’s and 50’s.        20.30     My day has been spent pottering around Ivy... including baking a batch of wholemeal scones.    Note to self .... I must remember to freeze some of them this time;  rather than feed them to Blob and his pals.     It has been a grey and sometimes damp day;  not a day for bumbling about outside.    The ‘cold’ that I had last night didn’t come to anything.... I must have been tired after Solid infrastructure at Pittenweem swimming pool. my wand

Nice morning ....

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
