Low cloud and misty....

21st June 2025 (Saturday)     09.00 .... It's a low cloud and misty start to the 'Longest Day', with

the chance 'light showers' in the afternoon.   That means we should have an interesting sky.   This change in the weather explains why I woke up to a migraine!    In spite of the migraine I'm feeling 'brighter eyed and bushier tailed' this morrrrrrrrrrning.... and the muscles aren't as stiff.   (I've just had a long hot shower to ease them off).   Anyway ... enjoy the longest day of the year;  it's comfortably warm (16.5C just now) with a light SE breeze.

13.15   It's a nice sunny day now;  at 23.2C it's too hot for me staying outside working in the garden.    That said I spent most of the morning cat napping, in front of the TV, trying to shake off the migraine.   I've taken another couple o' pills so should feel brighter again soon.... but won't be going out until the heat of the afternoon is past.   It's mauchless (humid) out there now.

Scabious
16.20   Light rain started about 15.15 and has been falling steadily ever since.   This is perfect for the tubs;  I'm sure that the plants prefer rain water.  I know that I do;  especially as the 'light, warm rain' that's falling gently just now!  How long will it fall for?  Not very long I'm thinking, as the sky is breaking up to the West.   We might end up with a sunny evening.                         
The rain came 'on' just as I finished the job I was doing in the garden.   And, I nearly forgot about the washing I'd hung out early this morning: but rescued it about 5 minutes after the rain began.    The worries of being 'me'!

19.30    We have a bonnie, sunny, warm and humid, evening;  too hot (and mauchless) for me pottering around in the garden.    I've had a successful day in the garden, and will sleep content tonight.   Actually maybe it will be too hot to sleep tonight if it stays hot and mauchless.   Unfortunately the rain didn't last as long as I wanted;  however I watered the tubs last night so will skip tonight.  
"Thundery showers with a fresh wind" is the forecast for KY9 tomorrow .... a good shopping day I'm
thinkin'.   I'll go to Methil to annoy Alice, and we can go shopping. 

If there's any air moving I might have  a short walk to Ferry Corner that's about 30 metres;  and 30 back.  It's not a good breathing air just now, hence the short distance.

21.00   I didn't bother going to Ferry Corner;  I had phoning to do, and some stuff on the computer;  it's not easy being 'me'.  Off to make the Horlicks now then have a look at the News.

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 ...
