Frosty morning ....



13th November 2019 (Wednesday)       08.00     We have a beautiful
Earlsferry this morning.
morning;  one of those clear crisp winter mornings that makes you want to do things;  once the air warms up a bit at the moment it’s -2c on the garden thermometer..   There’s only a light breeze so hardly any wind chill ....  and I’m feeling excitable.   The car windscreen will have to be scraped for the first time this winter..... actually, I might leave that for the sun to shift.   Scraping the car windscreen is not my favourite job.


19.00    I have been a busy boy on what has been a really bonnie day.    I had to go to Leven in the morning but was back in time to have morrrrrrning coffee in ‘arbour ‘ouse with the ‘troops’, before going home to get ready for the Friendship Lunch at 12.15.(the kirk Hall). 
 
St Monans this afternoon.
Once again the ‘Lunch’ well attended with all the tables occupied;  but our lovely waitresses were well able to cope.     George brought his brother Hector along;  I haven’t seen Hector for yonks;  in fact I can’t remember the last time I saw him.   Hector was in the RAF for 22 years (at least) and lives down in Cambridgeshire.... I think it is.   George and Hector attended the Remembrance Service at Elie War Memorial on Sunday.

With it being such a nice afternoon I went to St Monans and Pittenweem (in the car) when I left the kirk Hall.    It was bonnie the afternoon sunshine although cool;  however I was well wrapped up.... and remembered to take a pair of gloves with me this time.    I saw Sam’s (Jimmy’s grandson) new boat... well I saw the hull, the rest of it was covered with a tarpaulin.
 
Tomorrow is going to be another nice day.... slightly breezier than today so the towels I
Pittenweem.
hung out this morning might dry tomorrow.   They certainly didn’t  today.
I’ve just had a visit from Willie Rennie, leafleting for Wendy Chamberlain the local Liberal Democrat candidate in the upcoming election.   I’m kinda ‘in love’ with Wendy just now, but it’s not a great night for leafleting... a light shower of hailstones has just passed over;  and Willie’s hands were cauld.   General Elections are guid times for auld people who live alone;  always plenty people coming around for a chat at this time.

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
