27th February 2021 (Saturday)   11.00 .... I was in a state of excitement on

The setting moon.

the beach this morning;  the sun was rising in the Southeast.... and the moon setting in the Northwest:  I had a great time.   It has taken me until now to sort out the photographs;  though I did take time out to go to the paper shop and the bakers.   Anyway we had a gorgeous sunrise (‘red sky in the morning’ etc;  probably warning us to use sun cream) .... and the even after the sun was up the light was awesome.   I enjoyed myself. 

What’s the ‘plan’ for today?.... I will do a wee bit of work in the garden so that I won’t feel guilty if when I go out on the bike after lunch.    I mean; It would be naughty to not to go out in the sun and absorb some Vitamin D!   Must ‘go’... ‘flap on’ ....it’s morning coffee time.

18.30     I never did go out on the bike;  I did the wee bit of gardening to salve my conscience and that must have tired me out, ‘cos I sat down in the Hutte to do a Soduko and fell fast asleep.   I suppose I do get up early;  I waken at 05.30 and get ‘up’ at 06.00, shower, do the beach (or wherever I go to take a batch of photos to record ‘my today’.   


Back at Ivy I then download the photos, have breakfast, go for the paper, then back home to sort the photos out.... uploading few onto my FB page.    By the time I’ve done all that... and written an update for ‘The Hutte’;  it’s usually 11.00.   It’s a full time ‘job’ for me and I love it.... especially with the weather we’re getting just now;      Jimmy (Maggie’s Uncle Jimmy) used to say that, as you get older you tire quicker.   He was right.   Anyway I am a happy ‘boy’ albeit a tired one.



21.00   I guess this has been a ‘rest day’ for me .... though I have been feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed since I had a catnap in the Hutte.   Tomorrow is going to be another bonnie day, according to the weather forecasters:  it could be time to unearth the sun-cream right enough.   I plan to go out on the bike .... I haven’t made up my mind where to go, as long as I get some exercise.

The programme about the Cornish Fishermen finished last week, so I have been


watching ‘Full Steam Ahead’.... all about the railways and transformation they brought in Victorian times.... a fascinating hour of steam trains and Heritage railways.

I’m orf to make my bedtime chocolate.... then have a quick browse through the TV channels.

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
