Cloudy but dry ....

19th April 2025 (Saturday)    08.30 ....  At the moment the, mostly cloudy sky, is showing signs of

breaking up to give us sunny spells;  which are mentioned in today's weather forecast.   Unfortunately there's a moderate ENE breeze, so it's always going to feel cold out in the open.    I very much doubt if I'll be biking today:  a short walk, once the temperature rises, is more likely.   Temperature? ..... it's forecast to be a maximum of 9C today.   Precipitation is not mentioned.

15.30    The forecast maximum temperature for today is a bit out as far as the back garden goes;  the patio thermometer (in the shade) is showing  15.5C just now.   That said, the breeze is swirling around  so it is actually too cold to have my afternoon coffee outside. ... and I won't be going out on the bike this afternoon.   I had been thinking of getting the bike out.

I did go for a short walk after morning coffee;  up to the golf course (it was busy), then home by Rotten Row.   The wind had moderated at that time, and the air wasn't as cold as I expected it to be.   The breeze has freshened since I was out, and it feels cold again.   I imagine it will be cold on the beach;  I'm not going down to find out!  Actually I might have a daunder down to Ferry Corner and up the High Street .... after I have a cuppa.  

19.30    It's a lovely evening but there's chilly air so I cancelled the  planned walk up the High Street:    I fixed the gate instead.   It had swollen with the damp weather over the winter so got the plane out  and took a wee bit off it.   I might need to do some more again tomorrow, but it will do for tonight.

I've enjoyed myself today;  but would have enjoyed myself even more if the air hadn't been so chilly. 

Tomorrow is going to be less windy, though still from the East or ..."aff the watter".; and therefore cool.  I might  get out early, before the streets are busy, before the early morning breeze freshens.   High tide is at 08.00 so I'll try to go out then;  even if it's only as far as Chapel Green.

22.00    I've just had an enjoyable evening with Heather, Ray and Alistair who dropped in for 'evening coffee'.    Made by Alistair.    He does all the work thing!   They are travelling back home (near Durham) tomorrow afternoon.   I'll have my Horlicks now then get off to bed!  I'm tired, though I don't know why, because I haven't done very much 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...

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 ...
