BST (British Summer Time) starts ....


29th March 2020 (Sunday)   07.30 .... I’ve been for the paper and,
Nice morning for walking ... or cycling.
although the sky is heavily overcast just now, I saw breaks in greyness towards the Northwest so we might just have a few sunny spells later though they haven’t been mentioned in the weather forecast;   there is a light wind and it’s definitely cauld on the lugs.... and hands if you don’t have gloves on.    I’ll go for a walk after breakfast.
I remembered to change the clocks last night including my wrist watch and it is not easy to change;  I kept getting the days and dates wrong and all I wanted to do was change the hands... anyway it's now done after about half an hour.    I see that the 'toon' clock and Elie Church clocks are both at 02.00 (it's now 07.50) .... never seen that before.   Orf to have another cuppa .... and breakfast.
Admiring the view from Lundar Law.
11.00     It is cold on the beach but nonetheless it was fairly busy with dog walkers,  non dog walkers and ‘me’.   The ‘bloo’ sky is slowly coming in from the Northwest and we should/could have a few sunny spells in the afternoon.... in fact the sun has broken through ... it isn’t too windy... so ... after I have a cuppa... ‘the boy’ is going to go out on the bike.    Slight ‘flap on’ now.

18.00    We have a ‘happy boy’ in Ivy tonight;  I’ve been out on the bike.   Only round the villages today but now I’m wondering if I could do the Balbuthie Loan run for exercise?    It’s one of my normal ‘local’ runs:  obviously much as I’d like to go to Balcarres it wouldn’t be classed as ‘local’.... but I’m thinkin’ Balbuthie would be.   Mind you having said that I read in the paper that the ‘stay at home’ “rools” will have to become stricter:  any ‘new rools’, that contribute to taking the strain off the NHS Staff, who are already working like Trojans saving lives.... (and for them it is expected to get harder).... can  only be for the best.     My admiration and ‘love’ for them all is boundless.   
I’ve enjoyed myself bumbling around the villages on nigh on empty streets (apart from
The Toft - Elie.
the ‘Royal Burgh’ for some reason).    The sun has been breaking through but never for any great length of time but when it was ‘out’ it was really warm.... even at the harbour.   Of course I managed to get a few photographs to ‘play’ with.
21.00    I’m beginning to settle into this new routine .... and if we could have sunny and warm weather it would be almost enjoyable.   I can potter about all over the golf course, the streets are quiet and I meet the occasional friend to talk too.   I still go for my morning paper;  in fact I intend biking along for the paper tomorrow.... the weather forecast is ‘nae bad’.

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
