Colinsburgh 'Lite Lunch' .....

1st November 2017 (Wednesday) .... 07.30     I’m feeling bright and breezy this morning  .... in spite of the fact that we have a gloomy start to November;
There's a Coffee Morning in the Earlsferry hall on Saturday!
  the sky is heavily overcast, with the chance of rain by the look of it.    I think it might brighten up in the afternoon.... much like it did yesterday.    The Colinsburgh ‘Lite Lunch’ will brighten our day up, regardless of the weather.   Must ‘go’... slight flap on ... got to have a cuppa.
20.00     The Colinsburgh Lite Lunch did brighten up our day .... the food was very enjoyable, with very tasty soup, and even tastier plum pudding... followed by a cuppa and much chat.   Loved it. 

Today I fed the  ‘girls’ at exactly midday.... usually it’s around 12.30, but I had the ‘Colinsburgh Lunch’ at 12.30.   It was beginning to spit rain when I set off from Ivy, and it was raining when I reached the girls.   They are a friendly bunch;  and they love their grub.   Today I gave them mixed salad leaves for greens ... I made sure there wasn’t lettuce in the mix;   not good for ‘girls’ is lettuce.    The biggest surprise has
This windsurfer made me feel really cold1
been watching them devour the yoghurt.    They keep producing eggs ... so far two every day bar one ... when I got three.

The attitude of the Spanish Government to Catalonia is worry-some;  but not surprising I suppose.   ‘Ruling Societies ’, both left and right, the world over are always happy with the status quo... where the system is geared to them keeping control, and becoming ever richer at the expense of the vast majority.    Just like it was before the Reformation.   Oh we have a better standard of living, but not thanks to the ‘Rulers’;   everything we’ve got, has had to be fought for .... it’s only a hundred years ago that women were being persecuted, and prosecuted,  for daring to want the vote!    Hey that was a good moan .... I enjoyed that!    I’m practicing for when I’m old!

Tomorrow we are going to have wall to wall, “bright and sunny” ... oh .... and colder.
Moonlit Elie Bay.
   I will do a washing, even though there is only going to be a light westerly breeze;   actually I might put the washing through the machine tonight ... that way it will be ready to hang out first thing.

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...
