Mostly overcast sky ....

26th February 2025 (Wednesday)     09.45 ....  It's a peaceful kind of morning;  however, the sky

is mostly overcast.... but there are blue holes here and there (mostly 'there' unfortunately), coming over on a light Southerly breeze.   Actually there could be the chance of light precipitation by the look of the clouds.  The air feels colder than it was yesterday;  luckily there isn't much wind chill.   I've dragged the auld bones unto a vertical(ish) state and we're ready to face whatever Wednesday brings:  starting with an early morning coffee! 

21.30    The weather has been a bit of a let down today, especially for anyone on holiday.   I made good use of the bad weather by doing some  work around Ivy in the morning;  and making a batch of Cottage Pies in the afternoon.

I took time out after lunch to have a run down to the harbour.   It was raining at the time but only light, and not too much to bother the camera.   I had to wipe the lens regularly but that was all.   As expected the harbour was quiet.   Having said that the Eider ducks were noisy enough;  a single female were being wooed by four males.   Spring is in the air as far as the Eider are concerned!

I'm absolutely shattered after a busy day.   I have an appointment with Dr Bowditch tomorrow, so it's an early night in bed, .... and an early rise  because the appointment is at 08.40.   It's going to be 'sunny with a gentle Westerly breeze' tomorrow:  a bonnie day!   I should get some lighthouse pics!   Orf to make the 'orlicks!

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 ...
