Cloudy ....

21st April 2025 (Monday)     08.00 .... We have a cloudy sky with light rain at the moment,but there


are promising signs and I'm looking for 'sunny spells' with April Showers.... at least until morning coffee time.   I was up early to go biking but it was spitting rain so the bike is still in the shed.    Anyway tomorrow is going to be sunny.... and (a change of wind direction) the wind is going to be from the West, and warmer, so I'll go biking then.   I'm a 'happy boy'.  

09.45    I haven't been anywhere:  actually that's wrong.... the bin men were here early so I brought the bin back to Ivy from the sub station.   The 'plan' is to go to Leven to do some shopping, sometime today.   Oh... and we have had a few sunny spells, but it's more light rain looking now.   I'm going to have morning coffee.

20.30    It looked like there was more traffic coming into the East Neuk, than there was leaving it, when I was travelling to Leven this afternoon!    However the road (A917) was really busy with traffic leaving the East Neuk when I was  coming home.   

The Ferry is quiet again, and I already miss the happy sound of people  going up and down Ferry Road.   However, the streets will be quieter ,so I might bike along to Elie tomorrow morning;  if the weather is as forecast.   Actually I'm going to have look at what the

weather forecast is for tomorrow:  the last time I looked it was going to be sunny and warm, but they will have a more accurate one now.   Accurate enough for me to 'plan' doing something.  

 I'm back!    The forecast is still "sunny with a gentle breeze" .... but the breeze is from the West in the morning then backing to the East in the afternoon.  The earlier forecast had a Westerly breeze all day.  I'll go out in the morning.

My trip to Leven and Methil was perfectly timed:  when I arrived at Alice's Joyce (Alice's friend (and former neighbour) was still there, so I caught up with all the Thornton 'news' (where Joyce lives now).    After a little while, Joyce's granddaughter Nicola  arrived to pick up Joyce to take her home: so we all went our different ways:  Joyce and Nicola to Thornton, and Alice and I to Sainsbury's (Leven) to do some shopping.  

22.30    I've been watching a documentary about the life of Pope Francis, who, sadly, died this morning.   He was a Pope who tried to do good in challenging times;  listening to ordinary people, Catholics, people of from different religions:  travelling all over the World to do so.    He will be a sadly missed, stabilising human, in a seriously divided World.

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 ...
