Bonnie morning ....


17th November 2019 (Sunday)     08.00 .... At the moment we have a
It is a nice morning for a walk on the beach.
clear sky and the forecast is for ‘light cloud with light winds’ so it looks like we could have a bonnie day albeit a cool one.    It’s not quite frosty just now but isn’t far from being so: actually, I might get the bike out later once the sun gets higher .... and warmer.


10.00    We have a sunny spell;  at one point it looked like the cloudbank was moving faster than the sun was rising but the sun eventually made it, and it looks like we could have a nice day.    There was a touch of frost at sunrise time but only -1c so that will soon shift now.    It was braw seeing the beach busy with dogs hauling their owners out for a bit of exercise... it’s a braw morning for a daunder along the beach.    Everything appears to be where it should be .... the auld place is peaceful and looking good.

St Monans Auld Kirk.

13.30    I thought I’d better give the car a run so I went to St Monans kirk and had a walk round.... then came home via Abercrombie and Colinsburgh.   I didn’t meet anyone I knew at St Minnins but the Coastal Path seemed busy:   it is a good day for walking.    I’m feeling lazy today but I have done a wee bit on the computer.   At least I’ve had some exercise today, but I won’t take the bike out;  today is forecast to be a sunny but cold day.   I like sunny.    Today there’s thin layer of high cloud filtering the sunlight and spoiling what could have been a really gorgeous day.
16.30    The villages appear to be busy for this time of year;  the two holiday letting offices in Elie must be having some success.  I hope that we don’t end up with ‘party houses’;   our wee villages would quickly lose their quiet backwater appeal with a
'Burnside'  - St Monans.




couple of those.  

It has been a beautiful afternoon/evening though it feels like we could be in for a frosty start to tomorrow.    I can cope with that;  the car windscreen is facing south!    I’m hoping to take a trip out on the bike tomorrow assuming it isn’t too cold for my delicate lugs.

19.30    Well I wouldn’t say that I‘ve had the most productive day but I am well content at the end of it;  not tired but content.   I’m wondering if I should do a wee washing tomorrow?   There’s not going to be much of a breeze, and it’s going to be cold so I guess it would just hang;  no ... I’ll leave the washing until Tuesday.

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
