Nice, quiet morning ....

6th March 2021 (Saturday)     08.30 .... All was not as it has been at the


harbour this morning;  we had two Ainster creel boats at the pier.   They are being ‘craned out’ here because Elie harbour is quieter.   That brightened up my early trip to the harbour.... but I didn’t wait for the crane to arrive;  it was too cauld.   

We have a bonnie day ahead.... mostly sunny with a light breeze from the North, but it is cool.    I’ll go out on the bike after morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee.    Right now I’m going to hang out a wee washing. 

15.30    I’ve had a busy and enjoyable day;  and all I've done is potter around Ivy Cottage.   The washing dried and has been ironed, the bathroom, kitchen and front lobby floors washed and some ‘ooverin’ and dustin’.    I actually feel contented, and slightly tired.    The only thing I feel guilty about is me not making use of the bike;  it has a fully charged battery.    That could easily be sorted;  I’ve just finished the ironing, so I’ll have a cuppa and consider taking the bike out after that.


17.00   I did get the bike out and went up to Chapel Green, then to the Pony Field for a wee bit of exercise after the above mentioned cuppa.    It’s actually quite cold... a raw cold;  suggesting a change in the weather to something that will dampen down dust.   There was a lot of folk out;  golfers on the golf course walkers on the Coastal Path.... and bikes on Ferry Road.   The villages are busy;  so there’s always someone to talk to ... if I can sneak up on them!

22.30    I am watching ‘The Hobbit’ on TV this evening;  it’s a three hour film (minus the adverts it will be two and a half of The Hobbit) and they have cut out a lot of the book.    So.... I’ll have to read the book again (for the third time).   The fact that they are showing The Hobbit makes me think they might be showing ‘Lord of the Rings’ soon.

‘Light rain and a moderate breeze’ for KY9 tomorrow;  that means probably means I'll be doing computer stuff. 


Light rain means a chance of precipitation as opposed to steady rain.    You never know it might turn out not too bad.

 I’ll make the chocolate and then settle down to watch the last half hour of The Hobbit;  it f9nishes at 23.00.

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
