Autumnal Equinox ....


23rd September 2019 (Monday - Autumnal Equinox)     07.00 .... It is
Our pristine beach on a foggy morning.
the kind of morning that, if I wasn’t on a ‘not eating things with chocolate on them’ diet, I’d be eating chocolate biscuits!   We have a dull and damp beginning to the day....    funny how fruit doesn’t having the soothing effect of chocolate on dull days.  I have only been as far as the front gate;  that’s where the urge to go to the beach left me.  

07.45    No matter what the weather (apart from rain) I cannot resist the urge to go to the beach:  yes I  did go.   There's thick fog so I don't know if I had the beach to myself or not... but the bit I could see was empty;  apart from me and a lone Curlew piping somewhere in the fog.   It's actually a nice morning;  nae wind and warm.

14.30     I had planned to visit 'Jimbo' this afternoon but the Leven road is ‘Closed’ at Lundin Links:   a tractor has overturned at the bottom of the Lundin Links brae.    I’m going to Leven on Wednesday morning anyway so I’ll visit Jim then.   There will be diversions in operation but a narrow country road will be part of the diversion, and
Elie harbour at 11.00.
therefore tricky if you meet something big on it.   I’ll have a cuppa and visit ‘The Boss’ instead.

Geoff and I had two ‘Leaders’ for company at this morning’s coffee break;  Kirsty and Jackie joined us after their pilates class.   If Myra reads this she will know that ‘her boys’ are in safe hands.

With the weather being so quiet I have been out on the bike twice so far:  the first timer for ‘morning coffee’ at ‘arbour ‘ouse, the second to do the ‘Grand Tour’.   It’s been a day for ‘reflection’ photographs.    I am a happy ‘boy’.   Orf to have that cuppa.
17.30    My goodness .... we have had a gorgeous afternoon;  warm and sunny.   I spent an hour at Chapel Green being lazy .... er planning stuff.   The ‘Green’ was busy with other folk doing the same as I was.... enjoying the sunshine, admiring the scenery and ‘falling apart’.    From there I biked up to the ‘Pony Field’ and admired the scenery from a different angle.   It all looked good with everything more or less where it should be.
19.30   Well it has been a lovely day;  more of the same tomorrow would be good,
Links Road - Earlsferry.
regrettably that might not be the case.... KY9 is forecast to have ‘light rain/showers with a moderate breeze’.   If we only get showers we might have ‘sunny spells’ too!    I have an appointment at St Andrews tomorrow afternoon and I was looking forward to going down to St Andrews harbour.   Never mind St Andrews is not going anywhere.

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
