Bright and breezy ....

4th March 2021 (Thursday)      09.00 .... It’s definitely a bonnier morning .... we


have big blue holes in the cloud now and again, bringing the chance of a sunny spell our way.    There has been heavy overnight rain and we could have a light shower or two in the first half of the morning.   The light wind is more from the NE.

I’ve been for the paper, checked out the harbour, stopped at the Ship Inn beer garden, to chill out, then back home for breakfast.   I should get out on the bike later this morning.   Clean a window?    I might do that too.

17.30   It has been a pleasant day .... sunny, breezy and cool;  but not as cool as it was yesterday.   I went up to Chapel Green later in the morning and had a potter around the Dome Park.   On the way home I stopped to get some action shots of the demolishing of ‘Four Winds’.   The building was not an architectural gem that’s for sure;  but would hold happy memories for those who lived in it.   The new ‘Four Winds’, which is going to be bonnier architecturally,  will quickly start to build its lifetime store of folk with happy memories of it. 

I also went over the golf course to Grangehill to have a look at the new ‘Grangefield’

Dave - on the eighteenth tee.

which looks like it’s ready for occupation.    My word, the view from the sunroom/conservatory is going to be something else.   You’d hardy need to go out with the camera;  all you’d need was a camera, mounted on a tripod with a big lens and you’d be ‘in’ Edinburgh.






20.30    The wind is backing to the West and we’re going to have sunny intervals tomorrow,  so I will do a washing first thing.   It looks like being a good day for going out.... and .... with the wind going to the West I can (if I feel the urge) clean one of the windows on the street!    Actually it felt colder when I was putting the black bucket out, about five minutes ago;  cleaning the outside of the window? .... could be a cold job!

I met Dave and Harry when I was out today and thought I’d get a photo of them on the eighteenth tee and walking along the eighteenth fairway.    The tee ones I got ..... then the camera battery went!

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
