Excited ....


30th July 2019 (Tuesday)     06.00.... it’s an absolute cracker o’ a mornin’; 
Kinneuchar loch and kirk
hardly and wind, with long sunny spells... and already the air feels warm.   Once the sun burns off the clouds it will be hot.... so I’m going out now with the camera.   I’ll ‘work after ‘morning coffee’ time.   Got to ‘go’ ....I’m feeling animated.


09.30    Oh my word ... what a morning.   I’ve been round the villages and through Elie Estate and got some ‘fantastical’ photos on the way.   I am a happy boy and well ready to do some work today;  after morning coffee.  It is going to be a lovely day so I might go up to ‘The Boss’s seat’ later in the afternoon.   But the ‘plan’ is to do at least some ‘work’ stuff.

Ditto ... at midday.

21.00    It has been a really lovely day and I have managed to enjoy the sunshine.... and do some ‘work’ stuff.    After morning coffee I went home by way of the estate again.... everything would be brighter at this time of day (about midday).    I don’t really like taking photos in the middle of the day, but The way the loch was first thing in the morning had mesmerised me and I just had to go.    It wasn’t quite as good as in the morning;  the breeze had freshened some and taken some of the mirror kook off it.   It was enthralling nonetheless ... and yes;  I did get a few more photographs;  though, as I've already said, it's not my favourite time of day for doing that.   What I did get was a good set of pictures of Donald starting to combine a field next to Ferry road.   Yes its harvest time again.   In ‘nae time it will be autumn.    It’s only ... no I’m not going to do that.    (Tell you how many days it is until Christmas!)   It's not a lot!

I’d like to say that the bedroom is coming on apace, but it isn’t:  that said I have done
Donald with the combine .... yep it's harvest time again.
well today, and I am feeling tired now, but I get diverted.    Anyway Michael and Janice aren’t coming until Monday.   Loads o’ time.... and the yellow warning is still active for tomorrow, but it has been 'put back'  until midday tomorrow;  so I’m thinking we might catch one of the thundery showers.... in other words a day for working.   When I think about it, I have a car someplace;   I’d better give it a turn... it will be feeling unloved.

The Northwest of England has had a crop of lightning strikes in the last hour, probably the forerunner of the stuff that’s coming our way over the next 24 hours or so.
I’m thinkin’ it’s nigh on bed time;  my eyelids think I’m already in bed.

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 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...
