It's a really lovely morning ....

 

15th September 2020 (Tuesday)     09.30 .... The sky is overcast, and I

The 'Fringe of Gold'.


suppose there is the threat of a light shower, but is a really warm, peaceful morning.   I remembered to go for the paper this morning (on the bike) ... and I’ve been round the villages:  you will be pleased to know that everything is where it should be.   Oh ... this is for those folk who never see the dolphins;  today I am going to divulge the secret.    All you have to do is find out where Marcia is.... and go the other way!     How do you find Marcie? .... er ... if you can see the dolphins go the other way.

I have the bike ‘on charge’ just now ready for a mission up to Balcarres later this week.... well when there’s a really sunny day.


18.30    We’ve had a really warm, balmy summer’s day and I have been out enjoying it.... and so were a lot of other folk.   I did think of going to Balcarres but the temptation of reflections at high tide was too much.... so I have been out twice, and taken a lot of photos.   I walked to the beach around about midday.... that’s when I got the swans in Elie Bay, then went up to Chapel Green in the middle of the afternoon.    I didn’t forget about Stage 16 of ‘The Tour’.... I watched the last half hour!  

It’s going to be cloudier and it’s bound to be windier tomorrow ‘cos there wasn’t any wind today.   What wind we do get tomorrow is to come from the  East so it will be cooler.  Pity... I was beginning to think ‘summer’ thoughts:  you know ....things like sun cream, thinner jersey and fewer layers etc.

20.30     I see from the forecast that it is going to be noticeably colder tomorrow... in fact,


having been out to lock up the Hutte etc, I’d say it is already colder;  and especially  after the warm afternoon.

I plan to have a lie in tomorrow morning, because I haven’t a ‘plan’ for tomorrow at all.  Writing is one of my ways of relaxing and have two projects going at the moment.   They should keep me going through the winter.... so if it's overcast and cold I may do some of that.

Today is a very important date in the annual calendar;  I won’t need tell you because you will all know, and if not, I’m sure someone will have been  brave enough to mention the significance of today’s date.

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
