Snow ....

9th February 2021 (Tuesday)      11.30.... We woke up to two inches of snow


this morrrrrrrning.... and we have had a few more showers to add to it, though the sun is melting it between said showers.   I am, this goes really without saying, the snow got me into a state of excitement.   Went out with the camera at 07.45 and got back home at 0815... 415‘clicks’ later.   My word I enjoyed myself;   and I only went up The Ferry High Street, down to the beach and home by way of the bents... with a wee sortie up to the golf course at the end.   So far I have looked (and sorted) at 83 photographs so there’s plenty left to ‘play’ with after lunch.   In fact I may add to today’s tally by going out again, later in the afternoon;  after I find something on the tele that will lullaby me to sleep!   Usually the ‘News’.

When I  went out this morning, the path, from the front door to the pavement had been swept;   the first thing I thought was... “I can’t remember doing that”.   I would later meet the Good Samaritan, Neil, out with the dogs (and a broom): “Thank You Neil”, it was much appreciated.   I sprinkled salt on the slabs to help keep them clear.


20.30    This has been a cracker of a day.... and ... the gritter went down earlier this evening, so it looks like we might still have the snow with us tomorrow morning.   I may just do the same walk as I did this morning and hope that I can get the ‘almost perfect’ photo.    Having said that I am happy with the photos I got today;  the general early morning colour was phenomenal, which is why I got into a state of excitement.    For tomorrow the camera is back at the rectangular setting, though I must to liking square photos;  it’s just that square is not a great shape for printing off to dangle on my wall.

It has taken me most of the day to sort through today’s photos ... but I did find  time to feed ‘Blob’ and to do a wee bit of ‘ooverin’.   Although I haven’t done much physical stuff I am tired tonight (I didn’t have a catnap this afternoon), and looking forward to


going to bed and reading a bit of my book.   I’ll do this update then make the ‘orlicks and bumble orf to bed.  

I see that we’ve had more snow this evening and frost is forecast for early morning so the pavements could be slippery.    As long as there’s snow to walk on it’s usually safe and once I get onto the beach I’m happy.

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
