Bright and breezy ....


28th November 2019 (Thursday)     09.00 .... Oh my word;  we have a
Largo Bay.
‘bright and breezy’ morning with big patches of blues sky all over the place just now.   The wind has backed to the NNE so is feeling cooler;  the question is... do I do a washing?    The forecast for ‘KY9’ is “sunny intervals with a moderate breeze”.   It’s a bonnie morning, but it does look like we could get a shower or two.

 15.30    It has been a gorgeous day: yes it has been colder... and will be colder yet again tomorrow and Sunday but what a difference the sun makes.

Before I went for coffee (and the paper) I did do the washing;  and had the urge to get the bike out but decided against that as I didn’t want the washing to get caught in any shower that might come our way.    None did .... and the washing is ready for ironing.   
Sunset time.
I’m also plagued with this cough and didn’t want to do anything that might exacerbate it.   However I went to the harbour (in the car), then came home by way of Kinneuchar and Shell Bay for a change of scenery.

I’m not saying that this cough is bothering me much but;  my postal voting paper arrived this afternoon .... and was in the post box by 15.30.   I posted it on my way to the ‘Drop in Cafe’ but got diverted by the sunset so ended up down at the harbour.    By the time I’d finished messing about down there, and at the Toft, the ‘Cafe’ would have closed, so I ended up going home via Kinneuchar.

19.00    It has been a bonnie day and the next few days are forecast to be ‘more of the same’;  sunny days are enjoyable.... even cold ones.   I don’t have anything ‘planned’ for tomorrow:  if this cough isn’t bothersome overnight I might visit Jim.   If it is bothersome I lose sleep,  and be grumpy  next day.


It was a bonnie sunset today... one of those “red sky at night kind”.... now we can look
Sunset over Elie Bay.
forward to a bonnie day tomorrow.    Sunrise is at 08.15 so there’s no need to get ‘up’ at ‘funny time’..... that said I haven’t been in the mood for getting ‘up’ early anyway;  but I’d like to be back to that soon.

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
