Brilliant run ....

6th July 2019 (Saturday)      06.00 ..... we have another bonnie start to the
Quiet corner.
day ‘sunny  (and warm)  with a light breeze’ .... though it is forecast to become cloudier later.    Rain is not expected at all for us today. .... not even a light shower.    I am having a cuppa before going out on the bike.    What..... not even a light shower?    

09.30    Oh my word .... what an absolutely  enjoyable poodle around I have had on the 

bike this morning.    The weather is perfect... or was perfect.... it’s beginning to cloud over a bit now .... and I, well, just enjoyed it.   I set off from Ivy at 06.15 and got back to Ivy at 08.20;   a contented , hungry boy.    And with 164 photographs ‘in the bag’... I have had a quick browse through the photos and I’m pleased with what I got.
I didn’t have a route in mind, apart from doing the usual village circle:  however I went
Lady's Tower - East Links.
out to the Lady’s Tower and the lighthouse, before going up to St Ford.    Not the longest run I’ve had (the phone was being charged so I couldn’t log the distance etc.) but just one of those slightly off the beaten track ones.
19.00     This has been one of those enjoyable and satisfying kind of days for me. It began with an early morning run on the bike, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and was followed by an equally enjoyable ‘morning coffee’ with the troops.   

I came across Gareth working at the Christian Aid bookstall, which had been set up at the kirk gate:  at one point he was signing to me that I should buy two books.   Those two missions  took up all morning.    I was also busy in the afternoon;   mostly
Christian Aid book stall.
pottering around The Hutte.    There are still some small bits and pieces to tidy away, but it, the Hutte is ready for summer.


Sadly some of the chairs at the Breakwater were burnt at the Breakwater last night/this morning.     Who (or what) set the fire going has yet to be found... at the moment it is being blamed on someone called Cul Prit.   Finding Cul Prit could be difficult.     It’s a pity the rain hadn’t been heavier and lasted longer!  

What am I going to do tomorrow morrrrning?    Well.... the first thing is that the wind is veering to the East tomorrow, which I do not like... and we might have a slight spot of dampness at the time I like going out.  Could it be a lie in morning?   I’ll see what it, the weather, looks like at 05.00.

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 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
