Absolutely gorgeous day ....

 

11th October 2020 (Sunday)      16.30 .... my word I have been dilatory

Pinkfoot geese.

today;  this is the first of me getting round to ‘The Hutte’ and I’m apologise for that.    We have a lovely day here and I have been busy.    My breathing is back to normal. I don’t know what was in the air yesterday but it disagreed with me.   That is what allergies do unfortunately.   Anyway things have been totally normal today.

I had a ‘lie in’ and didn’t get out on bed until 07.15..... but was showered, dressed  and ready to go for the paper by 07.40 (ish).   Alistair was busy on his computer so Monica came for their paper this morning .... so we chatted while waiting in the queue.   That was a good start to my day.

From the shop I did my normal ‘paper run’;  down to the harbour, through Elie Estate then home by way of Ferry Road.   One of Donald’s stubble fields had Pinkfoot geese

.... and again.

feeding on it;   I took a few photographs, and was lucky enough to be there when another skein came in to join those already on the ground.   It was a happy, and hungry, boy that arrived home about one and a half hours after he’d set out to get the paper.

Since then I have done a washing which dried and has now been ironed:  I also took time out to do some crosswords and Soduko’s in ‘The Hutte’.... and made ‘mince and tautties’ for the freezer.   I feel in need of a cuppa.

19.30     I’ve had a busy and enjoyable day, with a mix of ‘work’ (not much) and play.   Tomorrow I go to Anstruther for the flu jab:  I had hoped to moor the car at the harbour and walk up to Ladywalk but the forecast says ‘rain’ at that time so I’ll have to take the car to Ladywalk.   I’m wondering if I need anything from ‘The Store’ when I’m in Anstruther?   The original plan was to photograph my way around the harbour then

Busy beach.

wander up to Ladywalk but, as I have already mentioned, that ‘plan’ has been changed.   Having said all that, I’ll see what the weather is doing ‘on the day’;   the rain may miss us and I might be able to have a potter around the harbour.   I’ll play tomorrow by ear;  actually that  might not be the best idea I’ve ever had ....my hearing is bad just now.

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
