Peaceful morning ....

20th February 2021 (Saturday)     10.00 .... the beach was quiet this


morning;    Peter caught me up on his way to the ‘paper shop’ but we were the only ones on the beach at sunrise time (sunrise happened behind low cloud).   The sky is overcast and ‘light rain showers’ are mentioned in the forecast for KY9.... the 'light rain' mostly  after midday.    Tomorrow is a better forecast for biking so the bike stays in ‘The Hutte’ today:  I might actually do some tidying up in the front garden.    Right now it’s ‘morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee’ time.





17.00    We have a weak boy tonight:  not only did I think of doing something in the garden.... I actually went ahead and ‘did’ something.   Now I am shattered and well ready for a hot shower.    Not that I did that much, but thinking about what I wanted to do had me in a state of weakness, before I began the ‘work’ bit.    The ‘broon’ bucket (garden & food waste) is almost at its limit;  it doesn’t get emptied until 12th March so I have to leave some room for kitchen waste.  

Funnily enough I feel contented after doing something in the garden; ‘Spring is in the air’ right enough.    We have a good forecast for tomorrow;  that’s when my life gets complicated.   Do I work in the garden or go out on the bike? .... and .... I could go to the kirk on ‘Zoom’, having got the code from Myra.    Of course the kirk is also on YouTube and can be tuned into later, should I decide to take advantage of a ‘bright and sunny’ day.   I tell you it is hard bein’ me.   I’m off to have a shower.... and then some food.


21.00    I’ve been watching ‘Full Steam Ahead’, an interesting programme about how the railways revolutionised the country:   providing cities and towns with links to the countryside and coast, for trade and tourism.    I’m now having my chocolate;  an early night in bed is in order after the tough(?), hardworking, weary creating, day I have had.    I feel really really tired after typing that.  ‘Fake news’?    Not on ‘The Hutte’.

We have a beautiful night, with twinkly things in the sky in between the clouds.   I must


go out with the camera some night:  the last time I photographed stars was in New Zealand... trying to find the Southern Cross.   Unfortunately the Southern Cross group of stars were obscured by trees, from where ‘M’ and I were staying.   I did get Orion though.

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
