(Wednesday) .... 10.30    We have a nice foggy, dreich morning!     What do you do on ‘nice dreich foggy mornings’?    Go out and get some nice ‘dreich, foggy photographs’ of course!    Well... that’s what I did.    Bunged the
Kilconquhar
wellies in the car boot then took orf for Kilconquhar where there’s stubble field that  you can wander through and get a different angle on things.     That is “iggzactly” what I did.     I’m pleased enough with the resulting photographs, but not with the wet feet, having left the wellies in the boot.    I get excited when I see what I want to ‘get on with’.... and tend to forget mundane things like putting on wellies.    I’m happy!    “Puku” isn’t:   happy i.e.     “Puku” is looking forward to the ‘Lunch” in the Colinsburgh Town Hall today, but lunch time seems an awfie long way orf!
22.00     I suppose we have to admit it;   the weather was horrid today.     We had fog with light rain that turned to fog with heavy rain by mid-afternoon .... not ‘pretty’
Kilconquhar
weather at all.   Yet, in spite of the weather, I have had a lot of enjoyment ‘today’;  even getting my feet wet, though unwelcome, was worth it for the photos I got. 

  The ‘Lunch’ at Colinsburgh was, as all our EKC Church events are, excellent, with the company, food, and happy banter, more than making up for the miserable weather outside:  in fact you’d have thought the sun was shining going by the noise in Colinsburgh Town Hall this lunchtime!   I blame Lexie for that!       

Tomorrow I have an early start as “Sooper Buggy” is going to “George’s Garage” in St Monans.    One of the tyres is losing pressure and needs ‘topping up’ every 48 hours, so that’s going to be fixed.   (Probably a nail).     From St Monans I’m taking the X60 bus to Kirkcaldy, where I’ll spend the morning, and have lunch.    By the time I
Colinsburgh
get back to St Monans the car should be fixed.... and I might even be back in time to go to the ‘Drop in Cafe’ on the way home.     

The weather forecast for tomorrow is better;  sunny after midday (maybe).    The sun makes a big difference as to how we ‘feel’.    I enjoyed myself today because I was out to get ‘wet’ photographs;   but I much prefer going after ‘sunny’ ones.

Photographs : Top – Kilconquhar, Middle – Kilconquhar, and Bottom – Colinsburgh, East End;   all three taken 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 friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

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 lunch!   And it was a really good lun

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
