St Monans ....

12th November 2016 (Saturday) .... 13.30    It has been considerably warmer this morning ....we have 10.5C in Ivy garden at the moment (13.00), with only
St Monans
a light breeze, so really ‘comfortably warm for the time of year.

I went along to St Monans for my morning stroll.... parking at the east Pier and then walked along to the Auld Kirk and back:  St Monans looked bonnie in the early sunlight.   Photographs were ‘taken’.    When I got back home it was time to get organised for the ‘Guild Coffee Morning’.... usually, when I get excited I forget things, but not so today.... I even remembered to phoned Jimmy to remind him.      This might be the way forward... a ‘new’ nonchalant ‘me’.   Yes .... I feel a touch of ‘nonchalance’ coming over me!    Having said that I feel a sudden attack of ‘stress’ coming on .... the laptop has just switched itself orf!    I didnae want it to do that;   in fact I seriously didn’t want it to do that!   And... the ‘moose’ has frozen!    Exits ‘nonchalance’... enter ‘concerned ’. 
St Monans
21.30    Jings ‘time’, as in one of ‘my’ days, seems to be ephemeral now;   a day passes before I know it, and leaves no trace .... apart from the photographs I take in the course of one day;  they remind me of where I have been on that day.    Having said that, I didn’t need any photographs from the Guild Coffee Morning to remind me that it was highly enjoyable, (as they always are);  I won a box of chocolates, in the raffle.   The box will be ‘casually’ left open on Tuesday evening:   a sort lure for the ‘boys’.... to see if they ‘yield’ to temptation.   

I have had a very satisfying (and busy) day;   most of my days are busy, .... not all are
Sunset fom the Ferry beach ... again!
satisfying.    If it rains on a washing day I am not satisfied;  in fact I am extremely disgruntled.      However I’ve gotten wise to that and ‘pick’ my washing days, which means I am very rarely ‘disgruntled.    Of course the daylight part of our ‘days’ being shorter, explains why they pass so quickly.   I can hardly cram everything I want to do into the daylight part of a single day.    I might buy a new tripod for the camera so that I can take gloamin'/evening time photos... thus extending my ‘activity’ time.   


Photographs : Top – where the ‘West End’ meets the Mid Shore’ in St Monans, Middle – Nice sunlit Mid Shore, (St Monans),and Bottom – yet another sunset from ‘my’ beach.

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...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
