Lovely morning ....


24th September 2018 (Monday) .... 08.00   We have a beautiful morning
Kinneuchar....  at midday.
here;   a really nice morning for doing things.   The air is chilly just now but the sun will warm things up in nae time;  and the forecast is good for the whole day.    I might work in the garden in the afternoon.    First thing this morning I have to go to Leven.


20.00     I enjoyed my trip to Leven.... and even managed to find time to go to Sainsbury’s;  and was back in plenty of time for coffee in Harbour House.   After all that I got into my working togs, the intention being to do a spot of painting.   However some of the clouds looked threatening by this time so I abandoned the painting idea;   and went to the skip at Woodhaven instead.    Of course I couldn’t go to Woodhaven without taking a walk out to the lighthouse;  this took me a while but it was pleasant in the warm sunshine, .... and .... I had the camera with me.    I met a lot of folk out there... all of us enjoying the lovely afternoon.
    
Looking west from the East Links, Elie.
Before lunch I’d hung out a woollen wash, so I had to keep an eye on the clouds.    I could see that further west, towards Edinburgh, there were showers, but we were lucky and my washing is dry.   In fact I’ll do the ironing after I’ve finished this update.
With us having to get up really early on Wednesday morning (05.00) I got the lassie across the road to help me set the phone alarm.    I’m having a practice run tonight, which means I’ll be having a cuppa about 04.30.    All my neighbours have gone and the street is quiet again.... though there are still some visitors around.

It’s forecast to be cloudier tomorrow, and breezy... and we could catch the edge of a
Elie ... with Largo Law beyond.
light showers in the afternoon.     I have a routine appointment at St Andrews tomorrow afternoon, so I’m looking for a bonnie morning, ... since I did the ‘ooverin, Ivy Cottage need some sandy footprints scattered around to give it that authentic ‘lived in’ look.    I’ll go to the beach first thing:  but not at 04.30.   Sunrise isn’t until 07.00.

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...
