Sunny ......

1st April 2025 (Tuesday)     09.00 ....  It's a lovely morrrrning; 'sunny with a light Easterly breeze',

and  there's slight chill in the air, but it will warm up once the sun is higher.   Sunrise was at 07.44.   The cool Easterly breeze is the problem today... especially when the wind freshens.

The Ferry High Street is open again and 'navigable' with care.  All the diversion signs gone.   The bloke that does the signage is an early bird that's for sure!... he arrived before the crack o' dawn.  That said dawn 'cracked' at 07.44 .... so it wasn't that early.   I've known him arrive at 05.30 to remove signage to use somewhere else:  in this case, probably between me and the Skeith Centre (Anstruther)!     

20.30    I'm enjoying the sunshine;  and I went up to Chapel Green, and the pony Field on the bike.   It was really pleasant;  that was after morning coffee, and before the wind freshened, so it was warm.... and I was well wrapped up anyway.   I went round to the information board by the 10th fairway;  and met a big group of walkers doing the Coastal Path.   The golf course was also busy;  it was a lovely day, and, like me, everyone would be enjoying the warm sunshine.    On the way back to Maggie's Seat I stopped at Jim's Seat and had a 5 minute reminisce.

From Jim's Memorial Seat.
I had a light sandwich lunch, as I was making 'sausages and mash' for dinner, then, after an afternoon coffee, I set off for the Skeith Centre:  and, as I suspected, came across a set of temporary traffic lights on Pittenweem Road.   Actually I think that set has been there for a while.   There was a  'new' set that I came across on the Kellie Castle road, but they detect a moving vehicle and change.... so no hold up.   


My visit to the Skeith Centre was a success.   I was only in the building for about a minute.   Anything to be uplifted is left at the Reception Desk;  it was a short visit.  

I'd left the bike out on the patio intending to go out again, but the wind had freshened and was off the water, so it was cold.   There were white tops on the water so the wind was F4.  I put the bike away.   According to the weather forecasters the next few days are to be sunny;  but the East Coast will be bothered by the onshore wind.   I'm hoping to go biking at whatever is forecast to be the least windy time of day.

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 ...
