Light frost ....


4th December 2018 (Tuesday) .... 09.15   We have a light frost giving us
08.28.
a lovely, crisp morning;  a perfect morning for being out and about.   The beach was very peaceful.... and fairly busy.    The sun appeared over the Lammermuirs at 08.28 this morning and was, more or less, a replay of yesterday’s sunrise.   Beautiful.     I’m hungry.


16.00     I’ve been a busy boy while waiting for the DPD van:  which is happening between 17.27 and 18.27.   Having found out the delivery time, just after lunch, I went to Leven to get my haircut (the Hairdresser was too busy so I didn’t) and go to Sainsbury’s for some light shopping.    I’ve got an appointment in Leven on Thursday so I’ll get the haircut then.   Driving into the sun, (it’s low in the sky at this time of year), is not pleasant;  but, I don’t want the alternative..... clouds.

This morning I joined Jim and Myra for coffee in ‘the Deli’;  then sorted some pictures for the cards;  the ones that I’ll print off after the DPD delivery.   I think I deserve a cuppa after all this decision making.

19.00    The DPD man arrive at 17.31 .... I am impressed;  in fact very impressed.     This means I can get the Christmas cards printed;  probably tomorrow.     The weather is forecast to be cloudier tomorrow;  with the chance of showers later in the afternoon.     It could be a good day for me working on the computer.   I’ve been feeling ‘iffy’ today, so a lazy day won’t do any harm.... I seem to have been buzzing about all day today;  and not drinking enough water/liquids.
  
Jim is coming down tonight;   we usually talk about ‘things local’.   And, we might even put the world to rights in the passing.    Mind you I don’t we could sort out the Brexit thing.   Actually I’d better go and get the kettle on;   Jim will be here in a  wee

while. 


My activities for tomorrow?.... well I’ll print off some more Christmas cards, take ‘time out’ to go to Harbour House, and see what the weather is like  before deciding if I’ll go up to Chapel Green etc.

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

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
