Lovely, fresh morning ....

18th July 2025 (Friday)     08.00 .... There's a nice fresh feel to the breeze (SSE) this morning, after

the light rain we had overnight.   We could have light rain showers in the morning, but I'm hanging out a washing anyway.  It's going to be sunny and warm (probably hot) in the afternoon.    There could be interesting 'shower' clouds  around this weekend.  

17.30   My word.... it has been hot this afternoon.   Outside : 27.1C on the patio;  and  Inside : 21.5C   normally a cool 19C.   Definitely uncomfortable hot for this 'mature' boy.

22.00   It's still hot outside (18.9C)...  Ivy Cottage living room is at 21.5, which is hotter than I have it set at in the winter.   It'd definitely holiday weather!    Apart from going shopping with Alice, and driving to and from Methil, I haven't done very much else.  I watched bits of  Stage 13 of le Tour;  it was a time trial so not that exciting to watch.

Heather and Ray came down in the evening, and I'd fallen asleep after dinner so was a bit groggy when they arrived.   We made a cup o' coffee;  Alistair was busy at home, so I had to make the coffee.   It was passable if you ate a chocolate biscuit with it.    With two chocolate biscuits even better.

The weather is going to be 'mixed', so I'll do my 'ousework over the weekend.  There's a Yellow warning of heavy, thundery  rain showers from Saturday afternoon through to Sunday midday.  Good weather for 'ousework.

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 ...
