Excited as a 'bag o' ferrets' .....

30th August 2017 (Wednesday).... 09.00   Oh my word .... I’m as excited as a ‘bag o’ ferrets’... which is probably caused by the fact that we have a ‘bright and
The Pyramids of Elie.
breezy’ morning... and a cool one;   I had to wear gloves when out on the bike this morning.    It is a nice ‘fresh’ start to the day, which has rubbed orf onto me.    

We have the Colinsburgh Lite Lunch today... I’ll be able to catch up ,with all the news from my Colinsburgh ‘girlfriends’.... and the boys.    Right now I’m going to have a walk over the golf course then round Chapel Green.  

  21.30    I never did walk over the golf course... don’t even remember what diverted me.    Oh ... I do remember . ..... I went down to the beach and nearly fell asleep sitting on “Nana’s seat”;   the sun was up, it was warm, and  peaceful.... by the time I surfaced Jimmy was waiting outside Ivy.  
“Blob” is back;  he tends to be shy when he’s moulting, and ‘disappears’ for a few weeks.    This morning I was sorting the bird feeders, in the Hutte, when he came in
Local creel boat off Chapel Green.
wearing the “I’m here and I’m hungry” look.   This will be him getting ready for winter.    I’ll get a few pictures of him when he is completely through the moult.
The ‘Colinsburgh Lite lunch’, was, as ever, excellent....  I chose the courgette soup... oh my word it was scrumptious.... as was the rhubarb crumble, so I only had a sandwich for my evening meal;   I’m waging war on ‘Puku’.    The Colinsburgh Girls have had a good summer, but they didn’t have any goss .... er information to impart... apparently “there’s nothing happening in Colinsburgh”... even ‘William T’ had ‘nothing to report’.

Jimmy was short of foodstuffs, so we went along to Leven, after the ‘Lunch’, to
The Bass Rock.
replenish his diminishing stock of ready meals.    I will go along to Sainsbury’s tomorrow morning to top up with some bits and pieces ... and have a latte in the Cafe.    To make up for my rather idle lifestyle today, I biked up to Chapel green in the evening and had a coffee with ‘The Boss’.

The weather forecast is good for tomorrow... though there could be showers in the afternoon.   The ‘Drop in Cafe’ re-opens tomorrow, after the summer break;   I’m looking forward to catching up with everyone’s news.

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
