Bonnie morning ....


24th November 2018 (Saturday) .... 07.30   ‘Light cloud on an easterly
Sunrise from the Ferry beach.
breeze with a chance of showers, then longer spells of rain later in the afternoon/evening’;  not a bad weather forecast for this time of year.   And there could be attention grabbing clouds....I feel as excited as a bag o’ ferrets.   Being that sunrise isn’t until 08.10. I’ll have another cuppa then go down to the beach. 

 09.30     The beach is the place to be.... hardly any wind and very peaceful.   Only a couple of dog walkers, a jogger and me were out enjoying this blissful start to the morning.... well on the beach at that time.    It looks like being a useful kind of day for going out to play!


Jet trail...  over Ivy lum.
13.00    Mmmmm .... it was afternoon when the rain started;   at about 3 minutes after midday.   Right now we have heavy rain, and general greyness;  not an afternoon for ‘going out to play’;  however we have rugby on the tele  this afternoon:  Scotland v Argentina, followed by Wales v South Africa, so the rain doesn’t matter too much.    I had hoped to go for a walk around the Chapel Green area, but that has been cancelled.  


20.30   Shoutin’ and bawlin’ at the tele is awfie tiring:  I’m shattered.   Scotland beat Argentina 14 – 9 in a finely balanced game;  that said the Argentine kicker missed four penalties.... so it could well have been a different ending.  There was heavy rain at the start and that affected the ball handling.    Nevertheless I enjoyed it and I’m looking forward to the Six Nations.     Wales beat South Africa  20 – 11 in the other match that I watched.
Oh .... I did get out for a walk;  the rain petered out about half past one so I went to the
The Ferry beach - mid afternoon.
beach before the rugby started.   The rain has started again and it's raining as I type.

We had a full compliment for coffee at Harbour House today, but Myra was out shopping with Janet(?), so the boys were ....leaderless.    This was not good.    We were like lost sheep at first.... but Brenda took us under her wing and we soon settled down.   It’s not easy being ‘leaderless boys’.
 
We’ve had two spells of rain since midday, ... but I think tomorrow is going to be slightly drier:  though we could get spells of light rain coming off the North Sea.

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
