Overcast with a cauld breeze ....

6th January 2025 (Monday)     08.15 .... it isn't raining just now, but the air is bitterly cold;  I

won't be venturing far from the kettle switch today!   There's still an active Yellow Warning for snow and ice until midday.   The Upper Largo Weather cam shows a snow covered Largo Law.   'Blob' has been fed.... now it's my turn.   I had a strange dream last night;   Sheila (formerly Craw's Nest) and I  were in a group trekking up to the Makalu base camp!   Sheila was wearing high heels!  I don't know where that dream came from;  I struggle to get up to the Pony Field!

20.00  After morning coffee I decided to  go the harbour for a run in the car.    The sand was being cleared off the road at the Toft but the road wasn't bust and they were letting traffic through.    At that time the sun was threatening to break through so it wasn't too cold.... but I didn't hang about.  I took a few harbour photos then came home by way of Balbuthie and Kinneuchar.   That was the only time I was 'out'.   The sky clouded over, and it turned cold, with rain arriving about 16.30;  though that never came to much.   Apart from making me feel colder!
Sunny intervals with a moderate breeze is our weather for tomorrow:  it will be healthier, but not warm because of the wind chill.   That said we can't complain because the daylight hours are lengthening, (though we hardly notice it because of the cloud), and Spring isn't far away! 

22.15    'Ocean Valiant'  (the platform that used to be seen in the background of the Beacon photo) has been moved, and I haven't found her anywhere on the on the 'Marine Traffic' app. so she must be out of range of land based receiving stations.   I'll have another search session tomorrow.

Overcast with light rain .....

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...
