Cloudy and damp ....

22nd January 2024 (Wednesday)    08.45 .... It's a dull damp (spitting rain when I was feeding

'Blob') and cauld morning;  I don't think I'll be going far from the front gate today.... but I might take the car up to Chapel Green, if the sky brightens up;  but sunshine isn't  mentioned in the forecast.  Anyway, I have loads to do on the computer, so it is likely to be a 'rest and work on the computer day' for me!

18.45    I took some time out from watching indoor bowls to go for a short walk up to the golf course, on what has been a day of, grey and uninspiring weather.    The workmen have been working on Ferry Road  putting a new new electricity cable in.   They dug a big bit of the trench last summer into which they buries heavy duty plastic piping to take the electric cable.  Pulling, and shoving, the cable through the piping is what they were doing today.

Understandably the golf course was quiet this afternoon;  luckily there was only a light breeze when I was up there, so not as cols as it would have been with wind chill.    I only went as far as the seat at the 17th green.... and managed to get a few photos to play with.   Not the bonniest of days for the camera but at least I got some fresh air.

We're on the Northern edge of n Amber Warning for wind on Friday;   Wind and rain, so not a day to look forward to.  Rain with a  SW gale will not be nice.

21.45   Welll... I got stuff done on the computer so I achieved something today .... but not very much.   Luckily I had the Indoor Bowls to watch so it hasn't been a bad day at all.    The air was bad, but I managed the short walk in the afternoon.   Another mixed up day is forecast for tomorrow;  but not as mixed up as it will be on Friday!
The 'plan' is to go to Alice's in the so that Izzy can take us along to visit Joyce (Thornton) for morning coffee!

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...

The morning after 'Storm Eowyn' ....

25th  January 2025 (Saturday)     08.30 .....  Well .... that was one frisky wind yesterday Candlelight evening....Unfortunately not a romantic one! afternoon;   from 14.30 to 17.30 it was absolutely ferocious.    And I got some damage at Ivy Cottage;  a ridge tile blew off, slid down the roof and broke the rhone (guttering I thinks it's called now) so that will have to be repaired.  A Red Warning of wind means damage and that's what we have;  not only at Ivy but at other places around Elie and Earlsferry.... and over the whole area of the red Warning.   I only hope no one was injured by stuff being blown around in the wind.    It's the worst wind I have ever experienced in Earlsferry.   I have never felt so useless .... and helpless.    My neighbour Mathew came round to see if I was OK.... which I really appreciated;  I enjoyed talking to him.... it calmed me down a bit.  ...
