St Andrews Day .....

30th November 2017 (Yhursdat.. ..formerly Thursday) .... “Happy St Andrews Day” ... and Happy Birthday to Irene;  who is .... how ol ... oh my word!
Ferry Wynd .... the beach is at the bottom.

09.30    Mmmmm .... it’s cold, but not as windy as was forecast, not yet anyway.... so the wind chill factor isn’t that bad.    Having said that, though there isn’t a hard frost, the wind we have makes it feel like -4..... however I was well wrapped up, and  enjoyed a walk over to West Bay and back via the Chapel and the beach.

I’ll phone Jim in a wee while and see if he fancies a coffee at “Laura’s Place” in the morning;  we have the ‘Drop in Cafe’ in the afternoon.
Elie beach this morning.
17.00     Jim and I have had a busy day socializing, as above..... Harbour House (“Laura’s Place”) in the morning, then the Drop in Cafe in the afternoon.    Both places were busy, with plenty chatting.    In between I ironed the duvet cover, and pruned a fuchsia.    I’m not sure if it’s a fuchsia but it looked like one  .... it doesn’t look like anything now;   a bald, well scalped, bush.

The temperature dropped dramatically this afternoon ....  at least it felt that way, but it might have been caused by the wind chill factor, not an actual drop in temperature.    It was, and still is , cauld!     I have the heating set at 21..... usually I would have it at 19/20.
20.30    Tomorrow is forecast to be warmer and cloudier  with a chance of light rain
Elie Bay 12 years ago today .... not much has changed.
later;   I’d prefer, bright, cold and dry... like today.    I don’t have anything ‘planned’, but Jim and I will go to ‘Laura’s Place’ for morning coffee, ....  we’ll be in Elie for the paper..... and, with Myra busy elsewhere,  the boy’s will be leaderless.     That’s not good!


I’m going to spend the remainder of today on my Christmas cards:   I need to get the overseas one winging on their happy way.    The weather, in different parts of the country has been wintry, and traditional Christmas card like;  even London had some flakes of snow.    We didn’t.

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
