Overcast and damp ....

15th April 2025 (Tuesday)    08.30 .... We had big patches of blue in the sky earlier, but

it's overcast and damp now, and  looks like being a showery day.   "Light cloud and light winds (NE)" is the forecast.   Forget the weather;  I've been sneezing which I'm taking as a sign that my cold is getting better.... and... I'm feeling a bit brighter, but not frisky.  

20.30   With the weather being 'unsettled' I decided to go to Leven to do some shopping.  I phoned Alice to see if she was in a shopping mood;  and she was... so I louped intae the car and bumbled my way to Methil.    While having a cuppa we decided to go to the Wellesley Community Cafe for lunch, then go shopping afterwards.    The 'Cafe' was busier than usual;  most likely because of the school holidays.   We both had steak pie;  and it was excellent.

The sun was shining by the time we finished lunch and I was wishing that I'd done the washing that's in the machine!   (On the way home I drove through an April shower.... and was glad that I hadn't done the washing).   Anyway we went to Sainsbury's and got everything we needed;  and no extras!   It was then back up to Alice's for afternoon coffee then back home to Ivy.

When unloading the messages I found an extra bag!   Alice's hand bag!    The phone rang as I was about to telephone her:  it was Alice to say that she had organised her son in law Sandy, to come down from Largoward to pick up aforementioned handbag.   Sandy appeared about half an hour later.   Alice and handbag have been reunited!    

With the messages in the appropriate places, I made myself a cuppa, and fell asleep in front of the tele.   

22.30    I've had an exciting day, but only took a few photographs, from the gate, for the Alberto Archive.   The photos I'v used today were a taken in 2014.

Tomorrow is going to be windy and wet, a bit of a change from the weather we've been having.   It saves

me watering the tubs so I ain't complaining'!  

 I'm looking forward to going to the 19th for lunch with the girls tomorrow so I'm hopping it isn't too wet when I'm going round to the pub.

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 ...
