Royal Wedding ....


19th May 2018 (Saturday) .... 09.30    it’s a perfect day for doing a washing... oh, nearly forgot... and for a for a Wedding!    We just happen to have both
St Monans.
‘on;  I have a washing on the line, and, there’s a ‘Royal Wedding’ in Windsor Castle.
I’ve been for the paper, and, being in the car I went to St Monans for a look at the harbour.     There wasn’t much happening, only one bloke getting ready to paint the top of his yacht.    Actually St Monans Harbour has more yachts in it, than creel/fishing boats.... but, when you think about it, it’s the way forward for the East Neuk harbours, because former fishing villages, are more ‘holiday home’ orientated now.   
I must go .... slight flap on;   I’ve got the camera to set up to get a few photos of ‘The Wedding’, courtesy of the BBC coverage.  

The Prince Harry and Prince William    (BBC television coverage)

20.00     I did get a few photos of the Royal Wedding, and they turned out better than I expected considering they were photographs of my TV screen.      I practiced by taking photographs of guests arriving, including the David and Victoria Beckham (Victoria Beckham looked the most miserable person at the wedding;   she should try smiling).    Anyway I got some reasonable pictures, so I’m happy.    I dumped the ones with Victoria Beckham on;  she was making me feel unhappy.
  
It’s been a bonnie day though I haven’t done very much... apart from wander round St Monans harbour, and watch the wedding now and again.   Oh .... I did pull a few weeds while pottering around the garden. I’ll have to prune the ivy bush tomorrow;  it
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
is beginning to make a move onto the Rowan tree.

Tomorrow I must go for a longish walk;  to make up for this ‘lazy’ day.    I might go up to Balcarres and have a walk around the crag;   I haven’t done that for a while.   The weather forecast is ‘good’ .... but cloudier, and windier.    That reminds me.... I have a washing on the line.    It will be well dry by now.

I’m going to sort out the remainder of the photographs I ‘took’ today:  a lot of them will be OOF (out of focus), and end up in the re-cycle bin.     I’m tired tonight, which is
Megan, Duchess of Sussex - One bonnie bride.
surprising because I haven’t been very active today.... not physically anyway.

Overcast with light 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 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
