4th April 2025 (Friday)      08.00 .... We have another sunny Spring morning;  but there's a fresh  ENE breeze so the air is feeling much colder.   The temperature will rise as the sun rises higher, but is unlikely to feel warm out in the open.   That means it's going to feel cool on the beach and the golf course most of the day.    I'm feeling 'playful' so might get out on the bike in the afternoon. 15.30    During breakfast I made u my mind to go the 'The Store' (Ainster) and do a weekend shopping.  On the way along I noticed low cloud being blown in from the North Sea;  I shouldn't have been surprised because after a few sunny days we can get haar coming in.   Anyway since the sky has (mostly) clouded over with occasional sunny spells... and there's cold wind.   I might go out on the bike, if the sky clears, the wind drops, and the temperature rises.   At the moment it does't loo...

3rd April 2025 (Thursday)     08.30 .... Another 'wall to wall' blue sky this morning;  but, there's a cool Easterly breeze so it will feel cold on the lugs when biking!   I might go out when I get back from Leven and Methil, but it depends on how warm it is.... and how breezy!    The temperature is 8.2C just now but that's not what it will feel like on the beach! 17.00    It has been (still is) another lovely sunny day again;  sadly the onshore Easterly wind meant it was cold on the beach.    That said it is great having a few sunny days in succession:  and it's warm on the patio, which is sheltered from this wind direction. As per plan I went along to visit Alice, but we didn't do any shopping.   Instead, after a cuppa and a Canadian biscuit, we went to Methil High Street to browse the Jack Vettraino exhibition, in the 'Affordable Arts' gallery, in Methil High Street.     I was surprised at...

2nd April 2025      08.30 .... We have a, near enough wall to wall, blue sky this morning.   There's a chill in the early morning air,  but that will soon warm up once the sun is higher.    The light breeze is from the South just now but backing to the East, so it will be  sunny, but cool on the beach later.   I plan to go out on the bike after morning coffee. This is 'Liberation Day' in America according to the President of the good old US of A, and his cronies.  The 'News' should be interesting later today:  both for what POTUS comes up with, and the reaction from other countries.   I hope 'we' don't 'kow tow' to bully boy tactics because of our so 'Special Relationship. 16.30   It has been another sunny day;  I'm liking this weather!   I went out on the bike, after morning coffee, and before the wind freshened, but only up to Chapel Green and the seat at the sixth tee.   It'...

1st April 2025 (Tuesday)     09.00 ....  It's a lovely morrrrning; 'sunny with a light Easterly breeze', and  there's slight chill in the air, but it will warm up once the sun is higher.   Sunrise was at 07.44.   The cool Easterly breeze is the problem today... especially when the wind freshens. The Ferry High Street is open again and 'navigable' with care.  All the diversion signs gone.   The bloke that does the signage is an early bird that's for sure!... he arrived before the crack o' dawn.  That said dawn 'cracked' at 07.44 .... so it wasn't that early.   I've known him arrive at 05.30 to remove signage to use somewhere else:  in this case, probably between me and the Skeith Centre (Anstruther)!      20.30    I'm enjoying the sunshine;  and I went up to Chapel Green, and the pony Field on the bike.   It was really pleasant;  that was after morning coffee, and...
