Sunny ....

7th April 2025 (Monday)    08.00 .... It's sunny after an early frost, but already the temperature is

above freezing, and there's only a light breeze so we should have a nice day ahead.  The intention was to go to the harbour at 07.00 but when I saw the car windscreen I changed my mind; the car windscreen was iced over, and I wasn't in a windscreen scraping the mood!   I'll get the bike out and have a run up to Chapel Green, and 'roond the Ferrie', then charge the battery;  after an early morning coffee.

15.00   Having been up to Chapel Green to discharge the bike battery, the battery is now being charged.   I might go for a slightly longer run the next time I'm out.  

There was a lot of people wandering' about when I was at Chapel Green;  I thought they'd been dropped from a 'Rabbie's Tour' bus.    Actually, I've just remembered.... this is the start of the Easter holiday weeks... which explains why the villages are busy.

It's a lovely, wall to wall blue sky day, but there is a chilly breeze off the sea.  A light windcheater jacket sorts that out.... and it was warm sitting on Euan's Seat.

19.30    It was actually warm enough for me to have my afternoon coffee out on the patio.... sheltered from the cool breeze.   In fact, of the chair had been more comfortable I'd have fallen asleep!  13.9 was the highest the thermometer, but it is in the shade;  I was basking in warm sunshine!   

The bike battery is fully charged which means I could go for a slightly longer run on Wednesday.   The temperature is supposed to rise in the middle if the week, but if we get that breeze off the North Sea it could spoil things.  Derek phoned to say he was coming to paint the gable tomorrow;  it's certainly perfect weather for painting.

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 ...
