Touch of early frost ....

28th November 2020 (Saturday)     10.00 .... This is my favourite kind of


autumnal morning;   a touch of frost at sunrise time, giving that fresh feel to the air....hardly a breath of wind and some warm sunshine once the sun gets going.    Having said that we did have a ‘red sky in the morning’ sunrise... but that ‘omen’ won’t apply to us, at the Centre of the Universe.

19.00    Welll ... this has been a crackin’ day;  even Dod managed to get out,.... and take a photo of the sunrise!   It’s been all ‘go’ all over the place today.    I set off to go to Carnbee kirk and ended up at Pittenweem harbour;  actually by my standard of diversion, today’s was a near miss.... I often end up going in the completely wrong direction altogether.    The direction the car is pointing when I go into it has a lot to do with where I end up.    Today we were pointing south and I realised that the tide was coming in and there was nae wind so there would be reflections ...... Pittenweem harbour plopped into my mind.    And that was that.   Carnbee will be there when the mood next takes me.


I enjoyed a slow walk round  Pittenweem harbour;  there’s a lot of boats in it just now .... registration plates from different corners of Scotland.    I photographed my way round, but it was on my way back to the car that I got my best photo of the day .... Margaret  (Sandy’s ‘M’) was out with her camera so she ended up as a million pixels somewhere on my camera card.   I am a happy boy.


22.30     I found an interesting Nature film to watch .... which has just finished.    So I’m late in going to bed .... that’s two nights in succession.    Naughty boy.

This has been a really nice day and I’m sure we have all enjoyed it ... each in our own way.    Tomorrow I am going to Janet’s (Leven), delivering Christmas cards in the morrrrning;   I’ll also do a wee shopping in the ‘Cheap Shop’ when I’m there.   The forecast is good for tomorrow although it is forecast to be colder.   Wrap up well and we


should enjoy another bonnie day.   I have a Tesco delivery in the afternoon.

“Thank You Alan” for taking the last bits of the gas fire to the dump.   I went out to shut the gate at 17.00 and noticed that they’d gone.   I must find out how ‘easy’ (or otherwise) it is to get an appointment.   Alan made it sound easy on the phone this morning.

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
