Absolute cracker of a mornin' .....


22nd June 2019 (Saturday)      10.00    What an absolutely gorgeous start
Kincraig cliffs - Earlsferry.
to the day.    I have been out on the bike doing the villages and Elie Estate run.... and it was really pleasant.     The harbour was busy;  the yacht ‘Defiant’ was getting ready to go out, there was a group of fishermen off out on a wee boat.... and someone filming with a drone.    It gets even better;  I met Primrose out with the dog!    
The loch was peaceful;   even the swans seemed content with each other.   Yep.... it was a grand morning to be out.    I am going to have another cuppa then don my ‘working togs’ to do a spot of painting. ... and ... I might get the flagpole back in place later today.
Elie Harbour.
18.30     It has been a bonnie day for working.... 22c in the garden this afternoon.    I’ve done a fair amount of work today.... but not much when I think of what I could do only three years ago:   oh I can still do the jobs but arthritis makes every job a slow one.     The satisfaction at the end is the same.

George came along this afternoon so we had a cuppa while catching up on each others ‘news’.    Of course the local ‘news’ is the murder/suicide.... but the details of that have yet to be released.  

I didn’t get the flagpole back in place;  the gloss paint that I used takes a long time to harden  so it can’t be handled.    I’m thinkin’ it should be hard enough tomorrow.    I want it in place before the weather breaks.    There’s a weather warning out for Fife from midnight on Sunday through to midnight on Monday.    Heavy rain with thunder and lightning is expected to cause flash flooding etc.    Tomorrow is forecast to be
Kinneuchar Loch.
much like today except that the wind will be from the east.... so it might not be as warm as it was today.


The ‘news’, is dominated by the Tory Party leadership contest manoeuvrings:   at the end of which the Tories will have a new leader .... but the country won’t.   Neither of the two ‘finalists’ are inspiring Leaders.    And neither of the two know anything about poverty.   That’s the future Prime Minister sorted.    I feel better.

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
