Breezy morning ....

4th March 2025 (Tuesday)     08.00 .... At the moment the sky is mostly overcast and there's a brisk

NW breeze.   However .... the weather forecast is "sunny with strong winds" ,so it's going to be'bright and breezy'.... breezy being F7 (on the Beaufort Scale of wind strength).   I don't think the  bike will be out today: but it might be a Spring cleaning day!   Then again it might be a 'rest day';  it depends on how enthusiastic I feel about Spring cleaning after breakfast!    And how the weather develops.

15.00   The sun has been trying to break through the cloud, but has never quite made it..... so far.   The wind isn't as strong as was forecast;  but it will be stronger, on the beach and golf course, than it is in the sheltered Ivy patio.   

I have been working in the wee bedroom so the day hasn't been totally wasted.   It's far to cold to go out on the bike;  not only is it dull, it's also bitterly cold;  so it has been  a good day for 'Spring cleaning'.   Not that there has been very much of that done, but it is a good day for doing it!   I am not in 'Flap On' mode!

'Flap On' mode?   The European political Leaders are the ones having a major 'Flap' just now.  They will be working frantically, behind the scenes, to tone down the damage caused at the Oval Office meeting the other day.   Having said that, the Oval Office meeting has certainly livened the European politicians up!   It's worrying as to how it will all end.   I'm thinking of what 'Mother Earth' will be like for my/our (Marcia is a Great Grand Mother .... welcome, to our lovely World, Ruby Harris) Great Grandchildren!

22.30    We might lose the temporary traffic lights on Ferry Road soon;  workmen were resurfacing the road at the sub station this afternoon.    Actually you can see from the photograph that the lights are working again.    The funny thing is;  the traffic actually ran smoother when the lights weren't working for the past few days.   Anyway hopefully Ferry Road will be back to normal soon.

The weather was very disappointing today;  the sun never broke through until near enough sunset time. 
Tomorrow is to be less windy .... with light cloud, and maybe even the chance of precipitation.   I have the Skeith Centre tomorrow afternoon;  and I might as well visit 'The Store' when in Anstruther.  
Hopefully I'll get out on the bike at some point .... if it's warmer than it was today!

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.  ...
