Misty morning ....


10th September 2021 (Friday)     09.30 .... It’s a misty, quiet and peaceful morrrrrning;   the birds are quiet, and content to just sit around atop rocks:  glowering at me mostly.    I’ve been for the paper and done the ‘tour of the villages, chatted to lots of folk:  Dave, Elizabeth, Graham, and Alan (‘arbour ‘ouse Alan).    Alan told me that Brenda is still as vivacious,  and colourful as ever;  and, that he couldn’t hang around chatting to me, as he had to get home to make Brenda’s breakfast.   Alan spoils that girl.

23.00    ‘JB’ and I have had a very enjoyable day .... and a busy.   After breakfast we went to Sainsbury’s in Leven, then straight to Ardross from Leven.   At Ardross we spoke to the Kirk Team that were in the ‘Field of Hope’ Gazebo, where we decided to visit the ‘Field of Hope’ tomorrow .... because today.... we were on a ‘shopping mission’.   We bought some really tasty looking ready meals....  and a few other vital ‘emergency rations’.   By the time we’d done all that we were well ready for lunch;  and settle down to watch the Tour of Britain in between pottering about doing some light ‘work’.         


 Because it was a gorgeous, sunny and warm afternoon with hardly a breath of wind, we decided to go down to the harbour;   we would have reflections.   And reflections we got;  it was stunning.... especially as there was so much going on.    We had boats leaving the harbour, others coming in and board walker all over the bay;  we even had a lassie water .... not water skiing, but a similar skill on a board.    It was all happening at Elie harbour this afternoon.    There was all this action. a lovely ‘light’ and some bonnie clouds up towards Cupar; it was magical and   I got a few photographs:  261 to be exact.   I ‘dumped’ a few but have well over 200 remaining.   They’ll be braw for a rainy day .... in November.

In the evening we sorted through some of my postcards;  that’s really a winter job but we fancied quiet evening while watching/listening to a concert from the Albert Hall.

Sunny intervals; with a moderate breeze, and the chance of precipitation, is our weather


forecast for tomorrow.    We are going to the ‘Field of Hope’ in the afternoon;   ‘JB’ needs to have a quick trip to Leven, while I have the boiler cupboard to finish off.   We also have to bring out the bikes to make one of them serviceable for ‘JB’.    It looks like being another ‘busy’ 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
