Sunny and warm ....

20th June 2025 (Friday)     08.45 .... So much for getting up, and going out early;  I didn't wake up

until 07.35.  Anyway, after a hot shower to ease aching muscles, I'm nearly vertical and ready for breakfast and a cuppa.   It's a lovely sunny morning, and already 16.9C, so it could hot in the afternoon.   Pollen levels are 'Very High' and could be annoying for hay fever sufferers   I haven't a 'plan' but might scoot 'roond The Ferry' later.

11.30   I've been out on the scooter... up to Chapel Green, but not actually on 'the Green'.  It can be done but I'll do that when I'm feeling 'brave'.    It's a braw feeling bumbling along at walking pace.... very relaxing.    The faster speed is only 8m.p.h. but, strangely enough, not as relaxing.   If I decide to go through Elie Estate, (and any longer runs) I'll do them on the bike.... that way I don't have to worry to much about holding up traffic.

21.15   My word this has been the warmest day so far this year... 28.9C on the garden thermometer.   When it's hot like that I just stay in Ivy, drink water and tea, and 'rest'.   This was always going to be a rest day.  I did a wee bit more weeding, before the hot afternoon, so have had have really had a restful day.   I rarely go out when it's hot nowadays.    I have afternoon coffee outside but that doesn't take long.  The beach would have been busy today .... and will be over the weekend.   This is migraine weather for me;  and I one this afternoon.   Although I don't go out the warm weather will help clear all the winter ailments;  long may the warm weather continue.

Saturday is going to be another hot day; it's the Summer Solstice (21st June 03.42 UK)... and the start of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere.   Midsummer Day is celebrated on Tuesday 24th June; so it's going to be a short Summer.

The temperature on the garden thermometer is 18.1C and I was thinking we were in for an

uncomfortably hot night.   However the wind has freshened and is from the NE just now, so it might not be as hot as I thought.   

Tomorrow is going to be a 'rest day' for me .... especially if it's hot.   That said, it's not expected to be as hot as it was today.

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 ...
