Nice morning ....

14th July 2025 (Monday)    08.20   It's a lovely morning;  there's a fresh, breeze from the SE, with a

lot of clouds around.    'Light rain showers and a fresh SE breeze' is the forecast ... and there's a "good chance" of showers in the afternoon.    It could be a good 'drying morning', if the showers miss us.   Going by the forecast the afternoon looks like being showery.... so I'll hang out the washing that's in the machine ASAP.  The breeze is warm;  a good drying wind.

10.00    The washing is out but I expect it might get another rinse shortly;  rain isn't far away by the look of the Western sky.   There is the chance of thundery showers;  I'll keep an eye on the weather.   It looks like it's raining at Lochgelly;  going by the weather cam.   There is a thundery feel to the air so I have the feeling the much needed rain, might be of the 'heavy' variety.    

15.30   It's grey, damp day, with light drizzle blowing through on the breeze at present.   Although in resting 'mode' now, I had a busy morrrrrrning.   I decided to bring the washing in  just after 11.00 because it was dry enough to iron by then.   The rain came on about 15 minutes after I brought it in;  it has never been of the 'heavy' variety.   I did the ironing, then some 'ousework, and had a sandwich lunch before settling down to watch the  'le Tour'.

Today's Stage (10) is a mountainous Stage involving 10 climbs and 9 descents;  the 'Finish' is at the top of the last climb.  This kind of weather is excellent(?) migraine weather;   yes.... I've had a migraine ....  and taken the pills.   Having only been as far as the gate with the camera; you can see what Ferry Road looks like just now.   It hasn't changed.

18.45  Thankfully, Stage 10 of 'le Tour' was on TV;  something to watch on a dull and damp afternoon.

And it had an exciting climax at the top of a 3 kilometre climb.   Tomorrow is a 'rest day' for the cyclists, after a hard day climbing:  and for me, after a hard day watching them.

I see that the sky is beginning to show promising signs towards the West (on the Lochgelly cam);  we might end up with a sunny spell before sunset!      Tomorrow's is going to have sunny stat to the day changing to light rain showers and sunny spells in the afternoon.

The photograph of the  wet, bedraggled Wood Pigeon (one of Trigger's pals), shows the kind of afternoon we've had.

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 ...
