Fantastical morning .....

16th April 2021 (Friday)     09.30 .... What a fantastical morning;  bright sunny


.... and because there’s only a light breeze now and again.... it's warm.   And peaceful.... my word it’s so peaceful.    I’ve been for the paper and down to the harbour;   I had a great time down there.... taking a few photographs and just ‘falling apart’.    The tide is going out just now so I’ll go out again, later in the afternoon.    Enjoy your day:  I am going to have ‘morning coffee’ in The Hutte.








21.00    Once again we have had a lovely day.... and.... once again the wind was chilly in the afternoon.    That said the villages appeared to be busy with day-trippers enjoying the freedom on the new ‘rools’.    It was great seeing the beach being enjoyed .... in spite of the chilly onshore breeze.

Honor.

I had a quiet day after my initial excitement of the early morning.    I did some drawing and a couple of Soduko’s in the Christmas Soduko Book.   They are tricky but I have finally got the hang of them.

In the afternoon I went up to Elie (in the car) to say ‘Cheerio” to ‘Primmy’ (Primrose) who was making her last journey, along South Street and  the Terrace (where we used to meet in the morning) then up Rankeillor Street and onto Elie High Street on her way to Kirkcaldy Crematorium.    She was a lovely girl was Primrose and I missed our early morning chats(she was confined to her house for the past few months) ....  aboot our knees and things.... and of course .... the weather.    I met a few folks that I haven’t seen for ... well the past year;  and was happy to see that they all look well and are looking forward to the Coffee Mornings restarting:  though that could be a long way down the line yet.

Honor was out;  giving Jock’s stick some exercise:  Oh?.... it might have been Honor’s

Primrose on her final trip up The Terrace.

stick as she has just had a hip replacement;  anyway Honor was out for a walk so I caught up with her ‘news’... and discussed knees and things.   By the time the cortege came up The Terrace, we a good crowd of people at ‘our chosen corner’.... waiting to pay their respects to Primrose.

‘Sunny intervals with a moderate breeze’ is the forecast for us tomorrow.... so not perhaps as bonnie as it was today.    I’m having my normal early morning  sortie out for the paper, then I shall  the day drawing and being ‘lazy’ around Ivy Cottage.

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
