Overcast and damp ....

1st July 2024 (Monday)   09.00 .... All the Fife weather cams show misty, which means the weather at the

Peaceful Ferry Road - 07.45.

camera site is the same as we've got... overcast with light rain.   It is not a bonnie start to the day but the sun should breakthrough in the afternoon to give us the kind of weather we expect in July.  I'll get the bike out in the evening.  Stage 3 of the 'Tour de France' will have my attention in the afternoon.

11.30    The workmen (Clancy) arrived about 08.30 and have been in action ever since.   The roads has been 'Closed' to traffic as they are digging a trench across the road.   Although it's wet (drizzle/light rain) the sky is showing signs of breaking up;  we might have sunny spells earlier than forecast.

16.30    The Clancy workmen have worked well today;  they dug the trench (with a mini digger) across to the East side of the road where the trench became a hole big enough to work in.   It looks to me that the job has been done at the 'hole' end of the work.... and maybe even the Ferry Lodge door end of the trench is finished.   I imagine there will be something else to do before the trench is actually filled in.    Ferry Road will be 'Closed' to traffic until it is filled in.  According to the notice's attached to the lamp posts, Ferry Road could be 'Closed' until Friday 5th.

20.00    The sun broke through in the middle of the afternoon and it was warm;  however it didn't last and we now have a dull and cool for July evening.   I never went out on the bike as I was watching Stage 3 of le Tour.   As usual I fell asleep, but woke up it time to catch the last 5 kilometres!.....  the exciting bit.   

I see that the sun has broken through and I'm wondering if it's worth getting te bike out;  I might just have wander up the road.   We could wake up to a nice bright morning if the sky is clearing now!
