Lovely morrrrrning with a touch of frost ....

19th January 2021 (Tuesday)      07.30 ....The Eastern sky is beginning to


light up (sunrise is at 08.29), there’s a touch of frost, ‘Blob’ has had his breakfast snack and I am on my second cuppa;   a nice start to ‘Today’.     The forecast is good though the sky should begin to cloud over about midday with sleet/rain arriving in the evening.   The ‘thing’ I saw in the mirrah this morrrrrning must be ‘in love’.....he looked ‘glaikit’;  and that was after having a shower!

10.00     I went to the harbour at sunrise time (there was never going to be a visible sunrise due to low cloud) and remembered to pick up the paper on the way home.    There’s only a light breeze this morning so it wasn’t cold at the harbour;   that said, it wisnae exactly warm.    I’m not sure about going out on the bike after the frost, but I’ll make that decision nearer midday.

Kinneuchar loch.

21.00    I’m feeling really content tonight;   I got the bike out and did the Elie estate run.    The estate road was muddy but not as bad as I thought it would be.... and only bad in three places.    I enjoyed that; it’s what I has been missing, from my ‘new normal’ routine, for the past few weeks.   Being overcast it actually hasn’t been the bonniest of days, but it wasn’t windy so not as cold as it might have been.     The loch has a thin layer of ice on it but the road was ice free .... until I got to Elie House when I had to be very careful.    The village streets were fine.   I put the bike battery on charge when I got back, but it’s unlikely that I will be out on the bike for the next couple of days if the weather forecasters have it right.    We are due to catch the edge of ‘Storm Christof’ and might get some sleet/snow showers.   The Midlands, of England, is going to suffer the worst of Storm Christof.

After lunch I sat down to watch a Midsomer Murder episode.... and fell fast asleep.   


This was one of the few Midsomer Murder’s that I hadn’t seen and I missed the end of it. 

Nae ‘plan’ for tomorrow though I’ll make a point of going to the beach first thing;  the chance of sleet/rain is higher after midday.   I’m orf to make my chocolate and see if I can find something interesting on the tele.   Sometimes I get lucky.

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
