Nice morrrrrning ....


16th November 2019 (Saturday)    08.30 .... We have an overcast sky
Earlsferry from a spring tide beach - 2004.
but it is dry;  it’s the kind of morning we get a lot of at this time of year .... nice in a grey kind of way;  and there’s always sunny spells in ‘arbour ouse’.... though I think I’d better give them a miss today;  don’t want to spread the cold around.   Actually I’m feeling fairly frisky this morning after a decent, with hardly any coughing, night’s sleep: so  might even go to the beach after breakfast.  

14.30    I got so absorbed with research and writing that didn’t go to the beach;  now I’m wishing that I had because we have a wet afternoon and I certainly won’t be going to the beach as long as there’s Scotch Mist blowing through.  This has been a lazy day, physically, for ‘The Boy’ but I do feel better.... I think I’ll have another ‘lazy day’ tomorrow.   I haven’t looked to see what weather we’re going to have but I’d like to get

as far as the beach tomorrow.    That said I am actually enjoying working on the computer.... so much so that I didn't even notice the weather changing outside today.


16.30    I got togged up to go to the beach without checking what the weather was doing, only to find out when I got to the door that it was no longer Scotch Mist but steady rain.   I made a cuppa.... and browsed a 2004 Folder.   Today’s photographs are from it.
19.30    It has been a very wet afternoon and evening ... still is ... but I am well pleased with my work today, and looking forward to tomorrow when I hope to  repeat today’s efforts.    Monday looks like being the first day that I will get out on the bike for more than a week.
I took ‘time out’ to watch this week’s episode about the life aboard our new aircraft carrier.... I don’t watch much on the television but this has been a really interesting
Macduff's Cave - Kincraig Cliffs, Earlsferry.
series (for me anyway).   I don’t know if this was the last episode or not but she changed Captains today ....moored up in New York harbour.  What a place to hand over to a new Captain.

The ‘plan’ for tomorrow is to once again have a quiet day though I’d like to go to the beach sometime during the day.   The weather is forecast to be ‘cloudy but dry with a light wind’.

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
