A cracker of a day ....

16th May 2021 (Sunday)      15.00 ....My word .... I have been a naughty, but


extremely happy, boy.    Sorry about being so late with today’s ‘Hutte’.   Why am I late?.... I had a brilliant ‘paper run’ first thing.... leaving Ivy at 06.30 and not getting back until 08.30 having done the villages, Elie Ness (lighthouse) and Elie Estate, taking numerous photographs on the way.    It was one of those magical mornings .... and I have yet to finish sorting out the photographs I did take.   I took time out to have breakfast, lunch and a few cuppas... and a decent catnap.... an hour and a bit;   and, now and again I removed a few weeds from the planet.    I am a very happy bunny.





21.00    I’ve had a mixed day of ‘work’ (not much) and ‘play’ (reasonable amount).   It has been a bonnie day, but the onshore wind was annoying, but not in Ivy garden where I spent most of the day.

I eventually sorted out the photos I took this morning and, looking at them again, I can see why I was excited;  it was a brilliant morning for the camera.   The wind freshened by lunchtime, and the temperature noticeably dropped, so I never went out further than the gate.   The wind has now moderated, but it’s still cold so I won’t bother with the beach this evening.   Had there been huge clouds I would have gone to the beach.... but we seem to have a more or less, wall to wall blue sky now.


I am beginning to worry about ‘M’ (New Zealand).   Her computer went on the ‘blink’ and she hasn’t got Skype on her i-pad, so we’re ‘out of touch’, and have been for a few months now.   I send her e-mails now, and again, but she isn’t good at e-mails.   I even went into her Bowling Club FB page to see if I could see her in any of the club photos .... but no sign of her.    Loads of other ‘girls ‘ though. 

Tomorrow looks like it could be warmer... with ‘light winds and light rain showers’ being the forecast;   the winds are veering to the Southwest.    Iain and Jackie are coming down, for a day visit, next Saturday or Sunday (depends on which is the better weather forecast) so I am looking forward to that.   It means that I should perhaps tidy up my sketch pads.... and books, that are ... er... neatly arranged, where Jackie and Iain will be sitting, at the moment.     That might be the ‘plan’ for tomorrow.

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
