Cloudy ....

23rd April 2025 (Wednesday)     I'll begin by wishing all my English friends a "Happy St George's Day" .... enjoy Your day.   

09.30 .... We have a grey start to Wednesday, but "sunny intervals with a moderate Easterly breeze" is

forecast, so it should begin to brighten up soon.   I almost slept in again this morning, but I dragged the auld bones oot o' bed, at 07.00 and had a long hot shower.  

I might bike up to Chapel Green at some point , but only if the weather is brighter and warmer..... and I could go round to the 19th to have lunch with the girls, but I'm not ready for a big lunch, so I'll pass on that.   This is going to be a rest day.   

09.45   Happy News;  Emily (granddaughter) phoned to tell me that she is pregnant.    A playmate for Henry is due in the Autumn.   I'm a happy Great Grandad".

15.45   Haar started to come in from the North Sea in the afternoon, and the temperature dropped, so I didn't go out anywhere.   Being warm in the 'romantic corner', I had a cuppa, and a goodie, out there instead.  As my rest days go this has been one of the best:  I've been bone idle.   The weather has been nice enough but the Easterly breeze was too cold for me going up to Chapel Green.   I'm going to make another cuppa, and settle down in front of the TV and have a cat-nap.   

19.00    The haar has come in and blocked out the sun so we have a chilly air.   I haven't been anywhere, and won't be going anywhere now.   I've had a lazy day;  and it has been enjoyable doing, more or less nothing really.   It was pleasant sitting out having my cuppa(s) on the patio:  I really appreciate 'Rural Developments' reinstating the back garden with a patio.   And handrail they  put in place, that gets me up to the top bit of the garden;  I couldn't co without it!   I'm a happy bunny tonight.

Tomorrow's weather is going to be much the same as today's;  "sunny intervals with a moderate Easterly breeze".   That means I'm confined to barracks.   This East wind does not agree with me at all;  but I might go up to Kinneuchar in the car.

22.30    The World has come to terms with the Pope dying so soon after being out on Easter Sunday; 

that was a real shock.   Actually when you think about it now he was saying "Goodbye" to his flock... and the World when he was going round St Peter's Square in the 'Pope Mobile.'    I watched the BBC coverage from Rome this morning.   The photograph is from the BBC News Channel.

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 ...
