Overcast with light rain ....

14th April 2025 (Monday)     08.50 ....  It's a quiet damp kind of morning;  in fact we have light

rain!.... which is a bit of a change from the sunny days we've been enjoying.   Actually the light rain is welcome, because it means I won't have to water the tubs.   It doesn't take much to make me a happy 'boy'.   That said, I don't think the holiday makers will be overly happy with the dampness.   I'm sort of hoping that the sky will clear to April showers;  that would have given us a bonnier sky for the camera.... but the forecast isn't good.    Not that I'm going anywhere;  this is a 'rest' day.

16.30    I had to go up to Elie to hand in my prescription:  I thought the Chemist would be Closed on Friday and Monday over the Easter weekend, but they are going to be 'Open' on Friday.   There's only one item on the prescription I need before Tuesday,  and that has been taken care of.   I didn't go to the harbour, but took the Balbuthie Kinneuchar road home, to give the car a run.... and to get a few photos for the 'blog'.

The weather has been bright at times, but the light rain was never far away;  but we did have a few short sunny spells in the morning.   The afternoon has been mostly grey and wet.   I had a migraine early in the afternoon so haven't done very much.   I watched the rocket launch taking a crew of six females into space, including Katy Perry, who is apparently the most famous female to do the trip.   I'd never even heard of her .... until this morning!    It was an 11 minute trip (there and back) into the the edge of space, where they could experience weightlessness for a minute or so before strapping themselves into their seats for the return journey.  Exciting stuff, and they all seemed to enjoy the experience.   

I've taken pills for the migraine so have been sluggish all afternoon:  I hope to find something good to watch on the TV in the evening.   Not that it matters what it is;  I'll probably fall asleep anyway.  If I watch something three or four times I eventually see the whole of it!   It will be an early night in bed for me tonight.

This change of weather has upset the auld 'fernie tickles';  they were enjoying the sun.   They need a

long spell o' sunny weather to get them looking their best.... and it's 'early days' yet.  I'm expecting a long hot summer!

22.30    I've been watching the BBC 'Lena Zavaroni' story :  about her rapid rise to fame as life as a child star, and her eventual battle with anorexia and depression.   Really good but awfie sad.   That is why I am later in going to bed than intended.

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 ...
