Lovely morning ....

18th April 2021 (Sunday)      09.00 .... we have another quiet morning but it is


cloudier: I'm sure that a bit of light cloud won’t stop us enjoying ourselves.... and we should have sunny spells.    I’ve for the paper and down to the harbour ;  my word I am enjoying the harbour just now.   The tide is right, there’s nae wind and we have reflections; it’s a dreamy place to be.   I’d better go and feed ‘Blob’;  and have my own breakfast.









15.30    It looks like we had the best of the day first thing;   I fell asleep after lunch and when I woke up it had been raining: That said, it’s a nice enough day and the rain isn’t heavy .... just damp.   I should have guessed that the weather would change;   I can go out on the bike after my blood test (PSA) at Cupar on Monday!

I’ve had a ... er ... ‘restful’ kind of day;  apart from sorting out the photos I got at the


harbour this morning... and goin’ to the kirk on Zoom, I have done very little.  I’m now going to have a cuppa (to help with the waking up process) then will do a spot of ‘ooverin’, before settling down to draw for an hour or so.










21.30    There’s one thing about this pandemic .... it seems to have made  time go faster:  I don’t know about you but everyday seems to rocket past.    In fact when I look in the mirror I get the impression that time has been moving faster.   I have great ‘plans’ but only get a fraction of what I intend doing ‘done’.    And yet I enjoy myself.... and am happy enough at the end of the day.  

Tomorrow I have my blood test(PSA) at Cupar;   I will be glad when that is done.    Oh I don’t bother about giving blood.... but it has been a long two weeks of not biking.... one time when ‘time’ went slowly.

Someone asked me the other day what the difference is between a city orientated way of life and a village one:  there’s absolutely no difference in the folk, that make up cities and villages .... only the numbers.   And change has been going on since ‘something’ decided to leave the water, many millions of years ago eventually evolving into.... ‘us’.   However, local village knowledge will be ‘lost’;  for example you hardly ever see anyone, down among the rocks looking for lobsters at Spring tides now.   Knowledge of the ‘secret’ lobster holes will soon be lost.   Another thing that is different;   when village folk meet, for a cup of coffee, or tea, to discuss ‘local affairs’, usually in hushed voices;  their conversations begin something like this  ... “Did you hear aboot?” .... “Don’t say that I told you this” .... etc.... all ‘Top Secret’ stuff.    City orientated meetings, to discuss


‘whatever city folks’ discuss’,  normally involves a stronger lubricant than tea or coffee, and ends up buzzin, .... like a wasp byke that’s been given a poke with a stick.   It’s just evolution in action.   I’m lovin’ the new Earlsferry.... and Elie.

This has been a change in the weather day but tomorrow is going to be sunnier again;  I might even go out on the bike when I get back from Cupar.

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
