Sunny and warm ....

4th June 2021 (Friday)   05.30 ....I sussed out where all the traffic appeared


from, when I was in Elie yesterday morning;   the temporary traffic lights at Muircambus had  cleared and I just happened to be in Elie at the time the ‘held up' traffic arrived.    I hope that was the case.... ‘cos I wouldn’t like to think that Elie High Street was going to be as busy as that all day long this summer.

We have a lovely start to the day, sunny, warm and peaceful;  I will do a tour of the villages after my morning cuppa, I might even go through Elie Estate.

11.30    I have some sad news this morning:   Myra phoned to tell me that Jim (Myra’s husband and my pal) alias ‘Jimbo’ died last night.   Jim had been ill for a while, and I like to think that he is now ‘free’, and roaming his favourite hills again;  including the Cuillin ridge in Skye.   My thoughts and prayers are with Myra, Sandy, David, the ‘girls’, and the wider family at this sad time.

'Jim' -  Alan in the background.

 Hmmm .... I did the ‘paper run’ but got so engrossed with taking photographs that I still have to go for the paper!   (I’ll do that after the bike battery is fully charged).    My word what a beautiful morning we have;  bright, sunny and warm ,with only a light breeze.... a perfect day for being ‘out and about’.   There was a lot going on so I have a lot of photographs to ‘play’ with.








13.30    Dearie me;   I went to Elie for the paper, and promptly ‘yielded to temptation’.... Carole’s ice cream shop was open so I had myself a double Salted Caramel tub:  it had to be a ‘double’ ‘cos Maggie would be watching and sharing!   That’s my excuse anyway!    Shona has the ice cream very well organised and it only takes minutes to be served.   There was a queue outside 'arbour 'ouse so all the shops are busy;  that's good to see after the lean time they had last summer.

17.00    As usual I have had a lazy afternoon;  that means I fell asleep in The Hutte.   I and woke up to find ‘Blob’ perched on my shoe;  which happened to be on my foot at the time.    I only feed him/her crumbled up Digestive biscuit.  That reminds me I’d better fill up the water dish.

21.30    It looks like we are in for a decent spell of warmer weather for the next few

days..... so let’s enjoy it.    I will get out on the bike, and probably do the same ‘paper run’ as I did this morning.... backwards;  taking the same number of photographs bas I did today.    If it’s warm I might have my ‘morrrrrrrrning coffee’ at Chapel Green;  I’ll get the coffee at ‘arbour ‘ouse.... and maybe even a goodie.

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
