Bright and breezy ....

28th March 2025 (Friday)     09.00 .... It's a 'bright and breezy' morning, with some fluffy white clouds

scuttling over, on the frisky NW wind.  That reminds me:  "Grey clouds bring rain Grandad;  fluffy white clouds bring sunshine";  stated by Emily (granddaughter) when she was nearly 4 years old!... and wanting to go for a walk.   That was after Grandad, who wasn't keen to go walking at the time, had suggested ...  "it looks like it's going to rain!".  We have it all on video tape!   However, white clouds do make an interesting sky!... and grey clouds could bring showers.   And... it's very windy so there's a bit of windchill.   I'm going to have an early 'morning coffee'.    

19.30   Although it has been a mostly sunny (we had a couple of showers) day there has been a wintry feel to the air, which kept me inside most of the time.  The TV on the news channel most of the day, so I am up to date with the earthquake in Myanmar.   I couldn't find anything to watch so pottered about, and had numerous cuppas.   I did some computer work... and on the phone so it wasn't a completely lazy day.   I'd say I was well rested.


I took 'time out' and went down to Ferry Corner to get a few of photos for the Archive later in the afternoon, but didn't linger long.   It was windy then,  but the wind has moderated  in the last  hour.

21.45    I'm going to have an early night in bed.   It's not because I'm under the weather or anything..... but because I'm reading a Donna Leon book ('The Anonymous Venetian)' I got from Kirsty for my birthday!    Off 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...

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.  ...
