Misty and damp .....

27th June 2025 (Friday)    08.15 .... We have a nice, quiet start to Friday;  being grey and damp its

Largo Law from the NW
not a bonnie morning, but I didn't water the tubs yesterday so I need the 'light rain' that's forecast for today.  (The light rain is to be with us, intermittently, for most of today).   Sunny spells aren't mentioned, but you never know;  we might get lucky.  
 I'm going to visit Alice, and  this is perfect shopping weather.  Anyway, Alice is bound to need annoying.

18.45   It has been a grey and 'mauchless' day, with drizzle/light rain now and again.... and no sunny spells!    But the Western sky is brightening up!

Alice and I had a small, but successful shopping session;  with an enjoyable and tasty lunch afterwards at the Alice HQ.   I decided to go Colinsburgh for fuel on the way to Methil, and got lucky;  the forecourt was empty.   This was a problem!.... which lane should I use?    I chose the middle one.    Getting the fuel and exiting the garage was the easy bit in Colinsburgh!    

Road into Upper Largo.
Remember that huge tractor and trailer I met twice on Wednesday?.... well I met in in Colinsburgh Main Street today and that is not the best place to meet that tractor, which was being followed by three cars and a huge lorry.   The tractor eventually got through a tricky bit (I was watching it in the wing mirror) and the traffic got moving again.   I was able to move forward into another space because there was another huge lorry, followed by another four cars coming into the Main Street from the West.   Colinsburgh is not the place to meet a string of traffic that includes large vehicles.   I remember seeing the plan for a by-pass in the mid 1950's: when there was nothing like traffic that we have now.

22.00    The sky is to be clearer tomorrow.... with sunny intervals and strong winds.  That's a good drying day:  I'll do the woollen wash I've been threatening to do.    My muscles are near enough back to their  normal 'flab' strength, so I can turn down the heat on the shower.   And stop doing foolish jobs in the garden.
I was thinking that this weekend was the start of the Edinburgh Trades Fortnight, but it isn't:  it starts
Elie Estate sycamore tree.
next weekend.... and is the beginning of the holiday season.    
Apart from doing the woollen washing I don't have a 'plan' for tomorrow;  I'd like to have a wander down to the beach if the air is good.

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 ...
