Sunny and warm ....

1st June 2021 (Tuesday)    09.30 .... we have another sunny and warm


morrrrrning, and I had a change of ‘paper run’;  I missed out the harbour and went to the lighthouse, then to Kinneuchar by way of Ardross and Balbuthie,  and finally down to Elie to get a paper.  The roads are quiet at that time (06.00 – 07.30) and the light is good;  there was a light mist but no haar .... though that might come in later.





18.30    Iain had a quick trip down, and went away home to Auchnagatt with the ‘N’ gauge engines so that he could install modern ‘chips’ in them.   Most of the time he was working on his laptop.... and he let me see how to ‘forward’ e-mail messages.

I spent most of the day sorting out a few of the photos I took this morning.... and making cuppas, and catching up with ‘news’.   We admired the garden and I pulled a few weeds.   Someone, in some far distant land, could well be growing my ‘weeds’ as exotic plants.


We’ve had another bonnie day, and it has been warmer, but the onshore wind took a few degrees off the temperature in the afternoon.   I didn’t go anywhere in the afternoon;  so, the bike has a fully charged battery for tomorrow morning.   There’s no doubt about it, going out really early is the best time for me to be on the road;  I might actually have ago at St Monans tomorrow morning .... if it isn’t too windy or cold.    The weather forecast is for us to have another ‘sunny intervals with a moderate breeze (E), so much the same as today really.   If I do go to St Monans, the breeze will be on my back on the way home.

I am tired tonight but I should remember that I have an early start to my day; and should go to bed early as I didn’t have a catnap this afternoon.  

I see on the ‘News’ that Fife (along with most of Scotland) is going down to Level 1 restrictions next week:  I have yet to find out what that means but it has to be good ‘news’;  and figures show that the vaccine is doing its job.

20.30    The wind has freshened and it looks like the haar is starting to come in:  if that


does happen, I won’t be going to St Monans on the bike tomorrow morning.   In fact I might make tomorrow a ‘rest day’ if it’s going to be cold with haar.    Having said all that;  I’m having an early night tonight just in case it’s a  bonnie ‘early morning’.

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
