Light cloud.....

6th November 2024 (Wednesday)    13.30 .... Sorry for being so late today.   After breakfast  I

decided that I had to go to Leven to do a 'JB' shopping;  the 'Store' (Ainster) doesn't have the choice that the various Leven super markets have.   I went into 'Flap On' mode and forgot to do The Hutte!    Anyway, after a mug o' coffee, I set off for Colinsburgh Filling Station to feed the car, then on to Leven.   

I decided to go to Sainsbury's, because they have everything that the 'Emergency Ration' containers need, so the shopping didn't take long.  Sainsbury's was busy but the checkouts (two) were going smoothly, and I was out at the car after 40 minutes.   As I was leaving the car park;  I was on my way to visit Alice.... I got round to thinking about 'car parks' all over the world.   More about that later.  At that time I was also thinking it was Tuesday.    When I got to Alice's I suddenly remembered it was Wednesday, and that she'd be out.   She was!   From Methil I had a quiet journey home:  moored the car up, and put the messages in their appropriate places, before having an early lunch.

16.30    The weather has been disappointing this afternoon;  I'd hoped to have a wander to the beach but light drizzle has drifted our way so that was the end of the 'walk' plan.    Tonight I'll have a birl on the pedal machine when watching 'Last f the Summer Wine'. 

 

The two nearest houses are 'The Cross' and 'Beachmont'.
I've been watching the News;  which, unlike the weather has been exciting.   American politics is a bit of a mystery to me, but, no matter how it works,  the American voters have elected Donald Trump as the next President of the USA.  American politics will be 'different' (as it was the last time DT was President)....  not 'more 'of the same', as it would have been if Kamala Harris had been elected.   When I think of it, what did she do wrong?    She had a braw set o' teeth, (Donald 'T'  isn't keen on smiling is he!) and, for that reason alone, would have got my vote!   It will be interesting to hear what Kamala has to say when she speaks to the Americans.   Anyway that's the excitement of an American Presidential Election over for another four years!

20.30     I mentioned thinking about car parks all over the world, when leaving Sainsbury's car park this morning.   Browsing the modern aerial shots of GHQ MELF, and seeing the changes since 1960, had me thinking that those changes had happened, not only at GHQ MELF, but all over the world.   No wonder that pollution from motor vehicles is a problem.   I was actually shocked when I saw the car parks dotted all round GHQ MELF. 

I've just looked at the forecast for tomorrow and our weather is going to be more or less the same as

My favourite photo of Ferry Corner.
today's was.   That means, if it is like today, that the best time of day will be the morning!    It's Horlicks time!

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
