Overcast and damp ....

21st January 2025 (Tuesday)     08.45 ..... It was spitting rain when I was out giving 'Blob' his

breakfast half an hour ago;  however the forecast is 'sunny intervals with a gentle breeze', so we should end up with a bonnie afternoon.   It's my turn for breakfast now;  and I'll catch up with the 'News';  which I imagine will be mostly about  the actions of the 47th President of America.

19.00   The sun broke through just before midday and we had a lovely afternoon.   I  was awake at 04.15 and remembered what it was I planned to do today!   I'd take the car though the car wash at Leven.  And that is what I did after breakfast.   Th last time took 'her' to the car wash  I gave her the 'Rain Guard' wash (£12);  today I gave her the £13 wash (I've forgotten the name of it) and it is so much shinier.  It looks like I'd washed and polished it myself.  

Before going to Leven I phoned Alice to see what she was doing;  luckily she was going to make Carrot Cake, and needed to go to the shops to get some of the ingredients.   So;  after going through the car wash I went to the 'Lady Alice HQ' where we had a cuppa before going to Sainsbury's to do the shopping.   That done Alive then treated me to lunch at The 'Shorehead Café' and had lunch:  except it isn't called the Shorehead Café now.... it's now the 'Café Hanarella'.   We had toastie with loads of side stuff, and very enjoyable it was too, with a huge pot of tea.   From 'Hanarella we went back to HQ and had a mug o' coffee before I bumbled my way home.

You may think the top photo is me showing you the shiny car!   It is ... oops .. isn't!   The important thing to notice is that the temporary traffic lights aren't working.    

22.30     I've just had a look at the weather forecast for the end of the week.   Storm 'Eowyn' is going to pass over us on Friday, with gale force  winds.   There might be a bit of wind chill!

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...

4th January 2024 (Saturday)    09.15 .... The car windscreens is clear, the washing I left out Shona huggin' a huge Kilbrackmont tree! overnight is flapping about in the breeze, and my breathing easier.   The sky is mostly cloudy just now, but our weather forecast for today is "sunny intervals with a gentle breeze".    There's a Yellow Warning for snow active from midnight tonight through to midday on Monday;  though I imagine it will more likely be sleet, or rain,  for us.   'Sunny Sussex' and most of the South of England is covered by an Amber Warning for snow today, so most of the UK is likely to see snow at some point over the next few days. 20.00    Although not the best of drying days the washing was nearly dry by the end of the afternoon.   Earlier in the afternoon I'd gone to Methil to annoy Alice.  We had a cuppa before going shopping.  We went to Sainsbury's they have 'everything' and are trying ...
