Beautiful morning ....

3rd April 2021 (Saturday)     08.30 .... After a touch early morning frost, we


have a gorgeous morning.... and it is to be ‘bright and sunny’ for the whole day.   I went out early on the bike and did the Chapel Green to the Harbour ‘tour’.... it was really bonnie, and it would have been chilly if I hadn’t wrapped up.     The air will warm up rapidly once the sun gets higher and there’s hardly any wind-chill factor:  another bonnie Easter weekend day to be enjoyed.

10.30    I’m having a break from cleaning the windows.... oh ... we have a beautiful, sunny and warm, day now;   a good day for cleaning windows.   That will be my serious ‘work’ for today.   The original Plan was to sit in the Hutte and draw;  which is what I will do after I finish the windows.    I did think of going out on the bike again .... but I’ll see how I feel after morning coffee.   Biking depends on how busy the streets are.


18.00    I remembered that I had a prescription to pick up so I did go out on the bike again;   and went to the harbour.   It was good seeing folk out enjoying water sports and the beach again....canoes, the walking on water thing (paddle board), building sand castles and all that kind of thing. It has been a bonnie day for doing all that.    I of course overdid the window cleaning and biking, so fell sound asleep in the Hutte, for nigh on an hour.    However I eventually had a successful afternoon drawing .... so I am a happy boy, albeit a tired one, tonight.   

According to the forecast it’s going to be slightly cloudier and much windier tomorrow;  but I intend having a ‘rest day’ so the weather won’t bother me too much.   I think it’s time to put the kettle ‘on’.

21.00    It’s good seeing some kind of normality coming back into the villages.   They (the villages) aren’t as busy as a pre COVID-19 Easter Weekend, but there is a holiday mood in the air.    As long as we stay safe and obey the ‘rools’ we could have a decent holiday season.

I’ve had a brilliant day....a reasonable balance of work and play;  I am a contented boy


tonight.   I am hoping that the creative mood is ‘on me’ again tomorrow;  I had a really successful afternoon today.    I’m orf to make a mug o’ chocolate then browse the TV channels.

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
