Leven ...

29th November 2020 (Sunday)      08.00 .... The sky is overcast this morning

Elie Bay this afternoon.

and there is no frost;   and there I was, hoping for another day like we had yesterday.     It’s going to be a nice enough day, according to the forecast, but with more cloud about.... and only a light wind.    It’s supposed to be cold , though it didn’t feel cold when I was out just now.    I need to have another cuppa... and breakfast  .... before doing anything else.    Slight ‘flap on’ now .... I’m hungry.

17.00     I had a walk to the beach in the middle of the afternoon expecting it to be quiet, with not much to photograph on a grey day;  I was pleasantly surprised to find folks walking their dogs, and two sailing dinghy’s and a canoe on the water.   There’s always something going on at....  “The Centre of the Universe”.


In the morning I went to Leven, to deliver the Christmas cards for Lesley to post.   On the way along I decided to skip the shopping bit;  the shops would be busy on a Sunday... so ... t he shopping will be done on Tuesday or Wednesday.    Not that I need much in the way of food.... I had a Tesco delivery this afternoon, and I plan to go to Ardross one day this week.   This writing about ‘food’ has made me feel peckish;  I’m orf to find.... something light to eat.    I had a big lunch.

19.00     This hasn’t been what we’d call a ‘bonnie day’ as far as the weather went but it has been a productive one for me.   I’ve done everything that I wanted doing.... including printing off my Christmas cards.    I wonder if the Rotary will be delivering cards this


Christmas?..... I’ll find out at the shop tomorrow.    If they aren’t I’ll need more postage stamps.   

There’s ‘nae plan’ for tomorrow.... what I do depends on the weather and the forecast for tomorrow is good (better than today’s):   “sunny intervals and a moderate breeze”.... so I might get out on the bike.   Right now I need to find something to watch on the tele.... and a cuppa.

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
