BST ....

28th March 2021 (Sunday)     07.30  08.30 ....According to the computer clock


the clocks must have changed to BST last night;   Ivy Cottage will catch up in a few minutes.... I thought I got ‘up’ at 06.00 when in fact it was 07.00.

We’ve had some rain overnight and, though dry at present, there could be more rain to come later.    I haven’t been for the paper;  before I do anything else I need another cuppa, to move my brain forward an hour.

10.00    I’ve been for the paper....  and down to the harbour;  the car is now moored up and so am I.   It’s a bonnie day but there could be more rain later.   I’m going to get myself organised to ‘go to the kirk’;   by ‘organised’ means .... that I need to make a mug of coffee.

12.30    We had a sad announcement at the Kirk Service this morning;   Olive (Weir) our Session Clerk died yesterday afternoon.   Olive was a ‘weel kent’ and much loved ‘girl’, and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.    My thoughts and prayers are with Ken, Lorna and James at this sad time. 


I didn’t go into the ‘Room’ after the service, because with the clock change I am chasing my tail... and will be all day.    I’m feeling frisky and playful so must be back to ‘my normal’... and should be up and runnin’ tomorrow at the correct (BST) time.    Orf to organise lunch;   I am really hungry and looking forward to food .... it’s sausages and mash (my own make).

19.30    It’s been a funny old day.    This clock change always throws me out of kilter and I never really got going.    I changed the birds water dish, and did a Soduko sitting in the Hutte.... but that was about it.    I saw Irene setting off for her walk out to Ardross;  I hope she didn’t get wet, because light rain (sort of Scotch Mist) began not long after I saw her.   I'm sure Irene would call her personal taxi (Andrew) if necessary.

I did take a quick walk to the beach in the evening, but it was spitting rain all the time so


I didn’t take a whole bunch of photographs.     The wind, which was brisk, was warm;  in fact if it hadn’t been spitting rain I’d have wandered along to the Breakwater.  Strong winds and light cloud is our weather forecast for tomorrow.... and it’s to be warm.

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
