Sunny ....

10th April 2025 (Thursday)     08.00 .... It's a lovely morning;  sunny with a moderate Westerly

breeze.... chilly at the moment but the temperature is forecast to rise to 18C in the afternoon .... and a wall to wall blue sky.  With the change of wind direction it will be warmer on the beach... and the golf course!  I have my appointment at 09.30, other than that I haven't made a 'plan' for today, but probably I'll get the bike out in the afternoon!

08.30   I've just seen my first Swallow of the year: one Swallow does not a summer make, but it's a start!

11.00   I always go out to Woodhaven Bay when at the surgery, to get a few photos of the lighthouse etc.  I can now tell you that it is not warm out in the open, because of the wind chill:  and I did not take many photographs!    In fact I doubt if I'll be out on the bike if the wind doesn't moderate!   

The surgery mission was a complete success:  I've had blood taken;  but my BP is much higher than it should be!    I have to take it at home and hand the results in.   Forget all that;  It's morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee time!   Weak coffee!.... and nae goodies!

17.00    It has been a lovely, sunny day, but the fresh breeze took a few degrees off the temperature, out in the open..... it was 17.3C (shade) when I had my afternoon coffee on the patio.

I got the bike out, and checked the tyre pressures, but haven't been anywhere because the roads have been busy.   I thought the workmen were on holiday this week, but we've had plenty going on all around 'The Ferrie'.   I'd like go out in the evening;  but I doubt if I will, because I'm normally too tired by then.


22.30    For some reason this feels like it has been a long day;  and yet I feel like I have achieved very little, though I have been pottering about all day.   I didn't go out on the bike today, but tomorrow's weather is supposed to be much the same as today's, so I might take time out in the afternoon to go up to Chapel Green.   Iain is coming down for the weekend, arriving later tomorrow afternoon:  and Derek

is coming to paint the gable.   Friday is going to be a busy, and interesting day!

I must make up Iain's bed tomorrow;  that is one mission.   Then I have to make a cuppa for Derek.   There could be a 'slight flap on' state at Ivy tomorrow morning!

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 ...
