Wet ....

9th December 2025 (Tuesday)     09.45 .... Hmmmmm .... We have a dreich morrrrrrrning.   The

Fife Weather cams all show grey and wet;  except the Kinghorn one! .... which has a breaking sky to the South West of Edinburgh.    At the moment there's not much wind, but it will  freshen, to give us a wild and wet night ahead.   Perhaps the breaking sky will come our way for a wee while., but I'm not going to bother with the sun cream.    On a positive note;  dust levels are low!

17.00     As you can see from the top photo we had a lot of rain overnight; even  Chapel Green was wet.   This was taken just after the rain stopped and the dog walkers, like me, took advantage of that.   I met Grizelda up at Chapel Green, walking her daughter's Jack Russell, and we could see other walkers on the beach.    It was actually quite warm.   I had another walk up to the phone box in the afternoon, but mostly I've had a quiet 'rest' day.   I found a good film to watch in the afternoon, while writing Christmas cards;  'Far from the Madding Crowd', a nice auld fashioned kind of film, British film.   

There's one bit in the film where the farm workers are sowing grain by hand;  I was taught how to do that by Jock Kinnear, the Grieve on Balcarres Mains, in 1952.  Why were we doing that?   It was a corner of a field and I think 'Jock' wanted  us to see how it was done in the 'old days', before broadcast seeders.   In the film they sow with only one hand;  we did it with two.
