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!

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 f...

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 l...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
