Beautiful, misty morning ....

20th August 2021 (Friday)    10.00   I’ve been for the paper, and at the


harbour.... and had a walk to the beach after ‘mooring up’ the car.    It’s mistier this morning, but the light was fantastic and the tide was out, so I just had to go to the beach.  I wasn’t the only one out enjoying the tranquil morning:  a lady was out on a paddle board ... and a few folk were walking the beach.   The sun has broken through since then and we now have a lovely morning;   I’ll get the bike out after breakfast.




16.30    We ended up with a gorgeous day and I did go out on the bike.   The Master Plan was to have my ‘morrrrrrrrning coffee’ at Chapel Green.   I did the Chapel Green bit nae bother.... only to find that I’d left the coffee in the kitchen.   It was still hot when I got back to Ivy (it was in one of those Thermos mugs) so I had my morrrrrning coffee.... but not at Chapel Green.    I met James and Jennifer at Chapel Green, they’d been for their morning walk; out to Shell Bay and back along the top of the cliffs.    We searched for, and found, one of ‘our’ oil platforms that had disappeared in the mist.


22.00  After a really enjoyable, and busy (for me) day I am well ready for bed.  Although the sky clouded over in the afternoon it remained dry;  but we can expect spells of light rain overnight and tomorrow.  It has been warm today.... and it still is;  probably means a restless night for me.   That reminds me I need to get a new bedtime book.

Thankfully I see on the News, that the airlift from Afghanistan is beginning to gather momentum.... let’s hope all those Afghans (and their families) who helped The Coalition get out.   We just don’t know how lucky we are.   I remember DP’s (Displaced Persons) from (all over) Europe coming to work on Tillygreig Farm (Aberdeenshire) in 1947 .... although, at nine years old, didn’t really know what they were going through, I knew what ‘displaced’ meant.  I hope the ‘displaced’ Afghans find a new home, with peace,

Jennifer.

happiness, and love .... wherever they eventually settle.    We can only hope that the ‘new’ political leadership, and all their followers, in Afghanistan, accept the Rights of Women and Humans Rights in general.   My word that is heavy stuff from me tonight:  I’d better get orf to bed.

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
