Glorious morrrrrrrrning .....

28th August 2021 (Saturday)     14.30 ....It was that bonnie a mornin’ that I


got intae a state o’ excitement, and the paper.    I left Ivy at 07.00 and got back again at 09.15... and...  never left Elie and Earlsferry.   When I was coming away from the harbour (I’d been there for nigh on an hour)  I met James, and some other rowers, making the skiffs ready for action;  both ‘Archie’ (Elie) and ‘Sea Queen’ (St Monans) were going out.   I promptly made my way up to the seats overlooking the harbour, where I got a few photographs of the skiffs being launched and setting out across the bay.   I then made my way to Chapel Green and got a few more of them by the Beacon.    What a morning;  it was one of those especial Elie and Earlsferry mornings, and a lot of folk were out enjoying it.  I've come to the conclusion that Paddle Boarding is the way to go on mornings like this;  it looks so ‘falling apart’ and relaxing.   Work?    No I haven’t done any of that!

20.00    This afternoon I decided to a wee bit of ‘work’.... nothing strenuous , just a bit of measuring and marking out.    Tomorrow I’ll do the cutting etc.   It has been a lovely day.... in spite of the onshore breeze.... but I felt in a working mood.    I thought about going out on the bike in the evening but I still have a load of photographs from this morning to go through:  sorting them, will keep me going until bedtime.


There must be a change in the weather coming;  I have a migraine .... something I haven’t had for a while.   I’ll make a cuppa and take a couple o’ pills, .... then it will be an early night in bed with the book.

I don’t have any plan for tomorrow.   I had thought about going to the kirk service at Colinsburgh Toon Hall, but you still have to fill in a form, so I don’t think I’ll bother.   It will probably be on YouTube later on so I’ll watch it then.

I’ve had a really good and enjoyable day.... well until the migraine kicked in:  even that


won’t bother me too much ‘cos I’ll sleep it off overnight.   I’m not going to bed just yet.... I am in the middle of watching a film.

We are going to have a cloudier day tomorrow... and cooler... according to the weather forecasters.   I won’t go out early, in fact, tomorrow is going to be a ‘rest day’.

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
