Lovely morning ....

6th August 2017 (Sunday) .... 10.00    The ‘auld place’ is looking gorgeous, on what is a lovely, ‘bright and sunny’ morning.    Sadly the weather forecast for the
"Pursuit" (St Monans) setting a creel in the trinq.

afternoon is .... ‘rain’;  so nothing new there then! .... and... this probably means that I’ll get wet .... again!     Anyway ... forget the weather;  when I was up at Chapel Green the creel boat "Pursuit", from St Monans came into the ‘trinq’ to set a creel:  it’s not often I see them in there....  it was a small, ‘old style’ boat, perfect for photographs!    
20.00    Once again the best  weather was in the early part of the ‘day’... up to 13.00  more or less;  then it started to cloud over,... eventually beginning to rain, on and off, about 14.00 .... as per weather forecast.    It looks like clearing away to a better late evening sometimes, but I wouldn’t bet on it.    The forecast for tomorrow is slightly better .... more sunny spells... but I’m
Earlsferry from Chapel Ness.
going to wait to see what’s happening with the tomorrow’s weather, before I make a ‘plan’.    This has been a disappointing ‘summer’ so far;   however we might get a more settled spell, with loads of sunshine, in September.

I got a pleasant surprise at the sailing Club today.... there were prizes for the winners.    I won two tickets for a trip out on Mike’s RIB;  the trip take’s in Kincraig Cliffs, Wester Voes seals, Lady’s tower... and along to St Monans.    I’m looking forward to that.... but who do I take with me?   A big ‘Thank You” to the business’s who donated the prizes, to Largo Camera Club and the Sailing club who, between them, organised the Exhibition.    Especial thanks to Marilyn (Club Commodore), who makes
"Whimbrel" leaving harbour.
really tasty scones by the way, and Lorraine ;  who both put in a power of work in front of, and behind the scenes.

There was much going on at the harbour today, especially when the weather was ‘bright sunny and warm’:  in fact the wind dropped away and we had reflections of everything on and around the water.   I managed to get a few photographs.
Today I was able to avoid getting wet, .... by keeping a ‘weather eye open’ and acting in time to get home before the rain.

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...
