Light cloud .....

18th April 2025 (Friday)    08.45 .... The washing is on the line;  the sky isn't very promising

looking at present, but I'm feeling positive!     "Light cloud with a moderate ENE breeze" is forecast ....and there's the chance of April showers (and April sunny spells) later in the afternoon.   It's a chilly morning (7.2C) just now, and it's going to be cool (for the time of year) all day:  so the bike won't be leaving the shed!   I might have a short walk with the hurdy gurdy later, but I think this is going to be a 'stay in and stay warm' day.   This cauld spell has upset my playing plans.  

19.30    I've had a good day... which is apt because it's the first day of the Easter weekend....Good Friday!   The washing I did first thing was dry (and ironed) long before the rain reach us, but that was the only 'work' I did.   I browsed the Alberto Archive for a while (that's where today's photos are from... 2014) and, would you believe it, I actually watched a film in the afternoon, without falling asleep!   It was a 2002, English  version of 'Pollyanna';  far better than the American version, with Haley Mills in it (1960).   In the morning I'd searched for an Easter(ish) film but the only ones I found were both American films ... 'The Robe' being one of them.    That's when I decided to browse the archive!


The plan was to have a short walk ,with the hurdy gurdy later ,in the afternoon, but the rain cam on round about 15.00 I never went further than the front gate.    Ferry Road has been busy all day;  presumably with holidaymakers arriving for the weekend.   If all the cars that came down Ferry Road stopped in 'The Ferrie' it must be running out o' parking spaces.

Sunday looks like being the best day of the weekend;   tomorrow is going to be much the same as today, but mostly dry with the chance of sunny spells in the afternoon.   The moderate wind is going to be from the East, so it will feel cold.   I might go for a short walk (or on the bike if it isn't too cold) early in the morning, before the streets are too busy.

22.00    It's a wet evening just now (I've been out at the 'bucket'), but the rain is supposed to move away
Colinsburgh.
by morning time.   I'm thinking that the bike won't be leaving the shed tomorrow because it's going to be breezy (E) and cold.    Sunday has definitely the most promising looking weather forecast.

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 ...
