quiet morning ....

27th April 2025 (Sunday)     08.45 .... We have a Westerly breeze this morning (I can see the 'Glenfuir' Union Flag) , but the sky is overcast just now.  "Sunny intervals with a moderate breeze" is the weather forecast.... and, this is the good bit, this is the first day of a spell of warm weather!   I might get the bike out after morning coffee;  must try to shake off 'side effects' of the East wind during the warm spell.  However,  there is one 'side effect' of the West wind that can be annoying at this time of year .... 'pollen'.


17.00     Although the thermometer of the patio shed is showing 19.5C  .... but it is to windy, and therefore cool, to sit out at the table and have my afternoon coffee.   It's a bit disappointing, but it is a brisk breeze.   I've been up to Kinneuchar to take the 'Kinneuchar kirk Spring' greens again.   I'm going to do this every second day (weather permitting) for the next couple o' weeks or so, that I can have a set of them to browse when I'm auld:  I like the trees changing from the bare look of Winter to the fresh greens of Spring.   

It's going to be warmer tomorrow (and hopefully not so windy) so I'll bike up, and might even go into Elie Estate.   When I think about that I'll need to get up early tomorrow and flatten the bike battery  (bike up to Chapel Green) a bit before charging it.   Bit of a 'flap on' tomorrow morning I'm thinkin'.    I've just been checking tomorrow's forecast and the wind if going to be 'moderate'.... the same as today.   It will be a good drying day, so I'll get that done, and hung out, first thing in the morning.   In fact I might do the washing bit tonight.

I'm tired after watching the London Marathon earlier (it's still going on);  Eilish McColgan was 8th, and the first UK female to finish.   The organisers are hoping for a record number of finishers this year....nearly 60.000.   'Finish Line? ....  I couldn't even make it to the 'Start' line!   

22.00    It has been noticeably warmer today;  the start of a mini heat wave in 'Sunny Sussex', where the
temperature could get up to 25C.   it won't reach that here:  but, as I already mentioned, it was 19.5C (patio) this afternoon.   I'm thinking it could get up to 20C tomorrow;  but there will be windchill to spoilt it.
I have no plan for tomorrow;  but I would like to bike up to Chapel Green to empty the bike battery so that I can charge it:  I like a fully charged battery when biking up to Kinneuchar;  I might want to 'explore'.

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 ...
