Overcast and damp ....

31st May 2025 (Saturday)    08.30 .... it's dull and damp (light rain) at the moment, but sunny

intervals are forecast so it should brighten up soon;  with the chance of showers so I don't have to worry about the tubs needin' wattered.   The furthest I have been this morning is the gate, but I'll go up to the golf course once the sunny intervals arrive.

14.30    I've been a busy boy:  but enjoyably 'busy' nane o' that 'work' stuff.   I was browsing the visible world from the gate, when I saw a group of golfers crossing the road that included Chris and Barbara.   I thought (something I'm not guilty of) "if I get the bike oot I could a few photos at the fifth green and sixth tee".    I promptly forgot about the mug o' coffee I'd just made;  got the bike out, grabbed the camera (and a banana), and eventually got myself on the move.    The bike battery only had two bars showing, so I certainly wasn't going further than Chapel Green, which comes after the 6th tee.   I arrived there in time to see a Group, that I thought was the Chris and Barbara group, going up the hill towards the sixth green.   I took  some photographs, then had look at the group coming up the  fifth fairway.... this was the Chris and Barbara group.   I spent 10 minutes on Euan's seat, at the sixth tee, taking golfing shots of the Chris and Barbara group .... and the one following.

On leaving the sixth tee I went up to Chapel Green to see what was happening on the water, and was rewarded with  some shots of the Elie skiff being 'powered' toward the Beacon.   I took a variety of 'village' shots, ate the banana, then bumbled my way back to Ivy..... and a cauld mug o' coffee.   (It tastes much the same after 50 seconds in the microwave).

Since all that activity (including downloading the photos)  the bike battery has been charged.... so I will be able to go for a longer distance tomorrow morning.... and I've had lunch.   Actually it was just a sandwich lunch so I'm hungry.   (I'm having one of my 'own brand' Cottage Pies for dinner).   Right now I need something to fill an empty space.  And a fresh cuppa.

21.45    It has been a lovely, sunny day;  and it ended perfectly with a nice heavy shower o' rain to

water the tubs.   I'm a happy bunny.    And .... there's the chance of light rain showers tomorrow;  there is a  "God"  for flower tub waterers!    I might go out on the bike early and get a paper;  I'll see how the weather is.

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 ...
