Sunny and warm ....

11th July 2025 (Friday)    09.00 .... It's beautiful morning;  sunny and warm with only a light

breeze:  the villages will be busy, especially the beach, and the golf course.   I haven't been anywhere, but might have a wander down to Nana's Seat in a wee while, for some exercise.  It's 17.7C  just now, so the afternoon will be hot.   I'm at the Skeith Centre in the afternoon;  it will be a 'there and back' mission, no run to Crail, or anything like that, in the heat.

11.30    I've been down to the beach, but my word, it's hot;  23.4C at present.   It's perfect day for holiday makers, and day trippers enjoying the beach .... and the water.   The hardest thing might be finding somewhere to 'moor the car'.

The beach was fairly busy when I was down there (early morning).   My first stop was The Blue Tits seat! It was already too hot for me, even with a bottle of water, so I  wandered along and eventually reached Jenny and Johns seat.    I finished the water and made my way back to Ivy.... and an ice cream cone!

19.30    It has been  a proper summer's day;  a few more like this and all the winter ailments will have gone.    I went to the Skeith Centre as per 'plan', and didn't have to wait long before I was taken;  and was out within 15 minutes.   It was too hot to go for a run home via the 'back roads':  and it was too hot for me being out in the afternoon.  Driving through Elie on busy day was the usual 'obstacle course', especially Bank Street to Golf Club Lane.  That said, it's good that the East Neuk is getting it's share of holiday makers, but there is a definite 'parking problem in all the East Neuk  villages in the busy summer season. 

The garden thermometer reached 25.2C this afternoon;  that would be uncomfortably hot.   It's 21.7C at the moment.   Saturday is going to be hot;  but "hazy" is mentioned for the middle of the day;  that's different.   'Haze' is fine .... but we don't want haar.

22.15    I've had a busy day and now ready for bed.   I'm going to visit Alice tomorrow and have a quiet
South end of of 'Cross Wynd'.
restful day .   'Eton Mess' is on the menu!   

The villages are busy.... as are all the East Neuk villages.   I met a lady in the waiting room at the Skeith Centre and she told me that Crail (where she lives) was extremely busy.

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 ...
