Bonnier morning ....


2nd November 2019 (Saturday)    09.00 ....  There has been a lot of rain
Bonnie sky over Elie Bay.
overnight but that has moved away and we have a nice, if slightly damp, morning:   dry with hardly a breath of wind and, best of all, sunny spells.    I have been to the beach and round ‘The Ferry’ on the bike,;  now I am well ready for breakfast.

14.00    I’ve been a busy ‘boy’ today.... though nothing very physical.    When I finished breakfast I decided to visit Jim and when in Leven do a wee shopping.    I didn’t really need much from the shop but I thought might as well go to the shop.    I bought more ingredients to make Melting Moments.... having eaten the Cornflakes I bought to make Melting Moments when ‘M’ was here.

Misty morning.
Jim was quiet today but brightened up when I showed him the goodies I brought with me.   I made us a mug of coffee to go with the Danish Pastries and we chatted about thing ‘Royal’... i.e. Earlsferry.  Grace arrived about 10 minutes after we’d scoffed the pastries.
It looks like we had the best of the weather first thing this morning;   the sky has clouded over and its beginning to rain.    I’ll have another cuppa and then have ‘50’.... my eyelids are beginning to feel heavy.
19.00    The early part of the day was the best part as far as weather went.... we’ve had more rain in the afternoon.   It is dry now and I’m wondering if tonight will be the Guy Fawkes fireworks celebrations.   Celebrate someone that failed in his mission? .... seems kinda pointless but I guess it’s embedded into the annual system of events by
 Elie beach this morning.
now.   If there is a display tonight I should hear it;   the wind is from the right direction.
I don’t know what I’m going to do tomorrow;  it all depends on the weather and how I’m feeling.   The forecast is for the weather to be much the same as it has been today;  in which case I’ll probably go somewhere in the car.   At the moment I’m having a cuppa with a couple of slices of Selkirk Bannock:   Yes Donald’s been .... and photographs have been taken of aforesaid ‘Bannock’.   Thanks Donald .... I must have been having ‘50’ when you were at the door.

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
