Wall to wall blue sky .....

17th May 2025 (Saturday)     07.45 .... we have another lovely morrrrrrrning.... so 'we' (Royal

Burgh 'we') have a 'slight 'flap on' at the moment..... I'm having a cuppa before going out on the bike.   

14.30    It was brilliant being out on the bike;  hardly and wind.... and it was warm.   I went to Chapel Green, where I stopped at Jim's seat then Maggie's (did some 'ooverin' when I got back to Ivy).  Chapel Green was quiet, I was the only one up there.   The golf course was beginning to get busy, the first group of players I saw were  on the 7th.   At that time the light breeze was from the SW and the air was comfortably warm. 

As there was hardly any breeze I left Chapel Green and went up to the Pony Field.   It's usually breezy up there but it was calm, and warm, this morning.   Since then the breeze has freshened,  gone the the East, with a chilly feel to it.    That said it is still a lovely sunny day, but not as warm, out in the open, as it was earlier.... but I'm going to put up the parasol, and enjoy the sunshine.

20.15   Kirsty returned a Donna Leon book I'd given her to read, and I gave her back one of her own Ian Rankine books that Kirsty had given me to read.    There's a lot of reading done by 'The Team':  when we're not 'playing'.   We are going to the East Pier for lunch tomorrow;  I imagine that they will do fish n' chips.... but it has changed hands recently, so it could be 'posh' grub.  Anyway we'll find out tomorrow.   We sat in the glorious sunshine and chatted;  and I'm hungry.   I never got round to putting up the parasol so we Kirsty and I will have a touch of the sun.  

Another nice day is forecast for tomorrow so I might go out early on the bike as I did this morning.   It will only be as far as Chapel Green because the bike battery is 'low'.

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 ...
