Sunny and warm ....

11th May 2025 (Sunday)    08.30   This is the best morning so far;  it's sunny with only a light

breeze, and it's already warm (14.5C).   The bike is out, ready to go to Chapel Green after I have a cuppa.   It's low tide, so we have a huge beach just now;  high tide is at 15.00 ....it will be a smaller, but busier, beach  in the afternoon.  

11.00    This is one of the best (if not the best) days we had so far this year;  it was warm when I went up to Chapel Green this morning, and could be hot in the afternoon.     Mind you, the wind will freshen a bit,  and there will be a cool breeze coming off the North Sea.

It was great being out on the bike again;  in fact I felt like going for a longer run, but common sense prevailed (unusual).   The Yoga 'troops' were at Chapel Green, and there was a single yacht on the watter:  it looked like it was making for Port Edgar. (Forth Bridges).   It's a day for doing things. 

Chapel Green Lane'

18.45    The wind did freshen a 'wee bit' in the afternoon;   I realised just how much it had freshened when the parasol took off, and ended up at the bottom of the patio.  I had been reading my book when it happened.   I put the parasol in the shed and continued reading but the wind was a nuisance, so I gave that up r and and contemplated doing some gardening stuff.  Luckily I remembered 'work' was not part of today's plan, so I relaxed and  watched the blackbird feeding the first of this season's offspring.   

Deciding that the wind was fresher than expected, I went to the gate and had a look at the water (I can see the Bass Rock from the gate).   I saw 'white tops';  this meant the wind strength was F4 - 5  (out in the bay).  So it was a frisky old breeze.... and it would be cold on the beach.  I made myself an 'afternoon coffee' and had that outside.... with a bit of Victoria Sponge.

It's still windy so I won't be going out on the bike again today.   I had thought about it.   When I

think about it the best of the day was in the early morning, before the wind freshened.   It was actually warm up at Chapel Green... and on the seat at the 6th Tee.  The golf course was busy for that time of day.

22.00    I've been watering the tubs, and I can tell you the Easterly wind, although it has moderated is still chilly.   I don't think I'll be biking early 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 ...
