Another lovely morning ....

19th April 2021 (Monday)     10.30 .... once again we have a quiet morning and


I have been for the paper .... and down to the harbour.   I’m lovin’ the harbour just now, because there’s nae wind which means the water is like a mirror.    Mind you, It doesn’t stay that way long:  by the time I leave the harbour the freshening breeze has got rid of the glass like water.   This morning I was especially rewarded;  ‘Skylark’ (a sailing dingy) was coming in after an early morning sail.... she received full attention and was well photographed.  








12.30    Well .... it’s a bonnie day, warm with light cloud .... and a light breeze.   I had a walk to the beach after ‘morning coffee’.   It was good to see a few folk taking a walk along the beach so I abandoned Nana’s Seat and went down to the edge of the tide, to take in the sound of tiny waves flopping lazily onto the sand ....and to dream a little.    I then went up to John and Jenny’s Seat, to  do some more dreaming.    The beach is good for dreaming today.    I am organised for the trip to Cupar.... and shall leave after lunch.    I am hoping to get out for a tour of the villages, on the bike, when I get back.   


20.30    The onshore wind was too cold for the whole tour of the villages, but I did go up to Chapel Green.     You can see that there’s a change on with the weather;  I was only jokin’ when I said that it would rain on Tuesday because I’d be back biking..... now I’m thinking I might be right.   Light rain is mentioned in the forecast.

I had a pleasant trip to Cupar.... and spent hardly any time with the blood test.   I’d taken a mug of coffee with me with the intention of going to Dura Den on the way home, for a change of scene, but the road was closed so I missed out on that.    I think I may have got as far as the Car Park in Dura Den but I wasn’t sure, so I came home.... and had the coffee in The Hutte.

I have no ‘plan’ for tomorrow now that it looks like the weather could be dull:    and a ‘lazy day’, pottering around Ivy Cottage and drawing is appealing.    I have had a hectic day today with zero catnaps so I am tired.   I’ll make the chocolate after this update and have an early night in bed with a book.

The 12 football teams, that have decided to make a European Super League, have

My trusty steed.

created a stir in football circles.    Will they end up with those infantile names so loved by marketing experts?    You know .... Manchester Marauders’,  Chelsea Condors  etc.     Ye Gods it’s pathetic the way things are going;  and the ‘punters’ will have to pay for it all.... via pay TV etc.  That certainly won’t bother me.   Orf to make the chocolate.

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
