Low cloud ....

13th May 2025 (Tuesday)    08.45 .... Today's weather is going to be a repeat of yesterdays; 

early low cloud breaking up to give us a warm sunny day.   The cool Easterly breeze will be bothersome on the beach.   Funnily enough, it's warm just now.... but there is hardly and breeze, and the breeze might freshen later.   It's a quiet morning;  even the workmen at No 3 aren't using their hammers.  

I have two young blackbirds moochin' at the back door;  Blob will have to share his McVities Digestive biscuits:  he will not be a happy boy!

19.15   This has been a busy day for ;The Boy'.   As intended I went up to Lorraine's to make an appointment to get my hair cut.  An appointment was made for 11.40.   As it was foggy I decided to go down to the harbour to see how it looked... and to get a few photos.   On the way up from the harbour I stopped at the Toft to take in the view, and get a few more photos.   

My Italian friends.
While I was doing that two couples came up the brae.   We ended up sort of chatting!   I say 'sort of' because they were Italians and didn't understand English very well (maybe it was 'my' English that they didn't understand), and I don't speak Italian.   Anyway their English was definitely better than my Italian... (and probably my English).  Actually Maggie and I bought a DVD Italian language course with the intention of visiting Italy, but her nae weelness intervened, so we never visited Italy... and didn't get far with the Language Course.   It will still be somewhere in the 'library'.   Anyway, we managed to communicate reasonably well, with much laughing, and loads of happiness.   We took each others photographs and went our separate ways;  them to wander round the villages, and me to go home to have a 'morning coffee' before returning to Lorraine's for the haircut.  

Back at Lorraine's I had my haircut (Aldershot style), and caught up with the local 'News'.   I was totally shocked to find out that Mabel had died suddenly 2 weeks ago.   Mabel was a lovely lady, much loved and respected, and will be sadly missed by us all.   My thoughts are with the Garland Family, and friends at this sad time.   I have photographs of Mabel and Lucy (her dog).  I must have a look to see if I can find them in the 'archive'.

22.30   I've enjoyed myself today, but I'm really tired tonight and I haven't really done very

much.  got the bike out, and raised the seat, but never went out on it, because it turned cold in the afternoon when the haar came in.   Tomorrow is going to be another sunny day, but will be cooler here on the East Coast.   

I'm having my COVID booster done tomorrow at Anstruther.    I don't need any shopping but  I'll go to 'The Store'  (Co-op) and see how the shelves are looking when I'm in Anstruther anyway.

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 ...
