Bonnie morning....

29th June 2021 (Tuesday)   09.30 .... After a bonnie sunset last night we do


have a bonnie morning.... but there is a cool, frisky, easterly breeze, but really warm in sheltered from the breeze.    Unfortunately there’s haar lurking around and that will move in and out now and again;  it will be an interesting day for the camera.   I have been for the paper and down at the harbour (in the car), where I was lucky enough to catch ‘Whimbrel’ going out for a sail.   Actually ... there are two Whimbrels in the harbour this morning;  our local Drascombe Lugger and a visiting yacht.   I plan to out on the bike after morrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee.

16.30    I will have to get used to the roads being busier;  as they were when I went out on the bike about 10.00.   Not that I had any problems;   I find that most of the drivers around the villages are considerate .... though, sometimes it can be iffy on the main road,....  so I only use it where necessary.    I enjoyed a run up to the shops then home by way of the estate.    The haar had come in since I had been at the harbour earlier (08.00), but it was pleasantly warm.    We’re having a long sunny spell just now so I will go up to Chapel Green after this update, before settling down for the evening.


The Tour (Stage 4) was quiet today;  no accidents or anything.   It was a ‘sprinter Stage’ which means a breakaway (4 today) usually poodle off down the road, hoping to win.... and I want one of them to win:  but mostly they are caught.   The last member of the breakaway was caught today just 200 metres from the finish;  however it was Mark Cavendish who caught him, and won the Stage, so that was good.   On sprinter days it’s just a mad rush over the last few kilometres.    Tomorrow is a Time Trial.




The Geraint Thomas injury when he crashed yesterday has me thinking.  Geraint Thomas crashed and his shoulder was put out of joint, the Tour Doctor arrives on the scene and puts the shoulder back in; Geraint gets back on his bike, in pain, and slowly gets himself back in motion and sets off to catch up with the peloton.... and does;  then comes out the following day to tackle the next Stage.  Footballers on the other hand ....!  

21.00   I enjoyed my run up to Chapel Green;  it was breezy but not too cold.    A few

boats were out on the water and I was surprised to see the beach busy, considering the time .... it was 18.00.

Light cloud with sunny spells, and a gentle Easterly breeze is our weather for tomorrow;  much the same as today I imagine.

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
