Autumn chill in the air .... ....

 

29th August 2020 (Saturday)     07.30 .... It’s a beautiful morning but


there’s a touch of Autumn in the air.... but a lovely morning for being out.   I’ve been for the paper and down to the harbour, but will go up to Chapel Green later in the morning;   when the air is warmer.  The kettle will have boiled and I’m well ready for a hot cuppa.... and breakfast.



18.30     I am one really happy boy;   having got photographs of Barbara and Laura exercising their horses on the beach.    It was a perfect morning for taking ponies to the beach... and a perfect light for taking photographs of ponies on the beach.   It has long been my ambition to get some photos of horses exercising on the beach and at last everything came together this morning.   ‘Thank You’ Barbara and Laura... and ‘thank you Barbara for texting me to let me know you were going to be on the beach this morning.

Laura and Barbara.

I’ve actually been a busy boy in the kitchen;   I put together a chicken casserole to make ready meals for the freezer.... and one for today.    I also did a washing, and that has been ironed, so I should sleep well tonight.   This is my favourite kind of weather;  loads of cool fresh air:  I always perform better in those conditions.

This morning I met a lady that looked remarkably like Patricia walking Dora Patricia’s dog.    It was Pat .... with long hair!    We chatted, mostly about the kirk, and our potential (has to be voted in) ‘new’ Minister who will be giving his introductory service online tomorrow.

21.00    I’ve been out locking the Hutte and there is a real cool feel to the air:  the temperature is forecast to drop to 4c early tomorrow morning.   That is seriously cool for


us at this time of year.      Tomorrow is going to be another bonnie, but cool, day.    I’ll go for the paper etc. but I must remember that there’s a Tesco delivery in the afternoon so I’d better stay around Ivy.   If I did go out in the afternoon I’d forget about the delivery.   There’s plenty to do in the garden so I won’t be bored.

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
