Light rain ....

29th May 2025 (Thursday)     08.15 .... At the moment we have an overcast sky with a light breeze

and light rain;  not a bonnie start to the day.   However the rain is going to move away, to be replaced with sunny intervals and frisky wind by midday.   It's a good shopping morning:  I don't know whether to try the 'Store' (Ainster), or go to Leven, where I know the shelves will be well stocked.   I'll have an early morning coffee.

13.00    The heavy drizzle has moved away, and we now have 'sunny intervals'with a frisky wind.... and it's warm.   I'm having a sandwich lunch as I type this, and will have a cuppa outside after the update.

The shopping expedition went well, but it's not the same shopping on my own.   (Alice is on a day trip to Arbroath  with two of her friends).   As expected the roads were busy going to, and coming home from Leven.  The shop was busy with auld mature people doing their shopping early.   I got everything on my list (I remembered to take it with me);  plus a few 'vitally needed 'extras'.   I'll have one of those now, with my tea.

20.00    It was 21.6C at afternoon coffee time, but the wind had freshened to 'annoying' level, and enjoyed the sunshine.   Apart from doing a shopping I have had a 'lazy' day.   I set off for the beach about an hour ago but never got further than Ferry Corner:  the air was chilly and upset the breathing tubes.   Actually I must do something about that:  and I'm thinkin'  a mobility scooter would solve the problem.   Iain is coming down (from Auchnagatt) in a couple of weeks and we'll sort that out then.


22.30    I am going to have a 'rest day' tomorrow:  the weather forecast is 'light rain showers with a moderate breeze', so it should be warm on the patio.   I'm going to have a day just doing whatever I fancy doing;  in other words a lazy unwinding day.   Right now it's Horlicks time.

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 ...
