Quiet and peaceful .....

29th September 2021 (Wednesday)    07.00 ...I was ‘up’ (05.30) and rarin'


to go for sunrise.... unfortunately there is a bank of low cloud so sunrise won’t be visible at sunrise time (07.14).    I’ll have another cuppa.... then catch the sun coming up from behind the low cloud.   It looks like being a bonnie day.... with only a light breeze, though it will freshen later.  

10.00    Although sunrise wasn’t visible we had a bonnie sky when the sun eventually started to break through the low cloud;   when I did the ‘villages tour’.    I had intended going further ,but decided to do that later in the day once the temperature had risen..... there’s a chilly air just now.

The villages were quiet;  I chatted to Stuart when down at the harbour.... he couldn’t stop long as he had to go home to get Lorraine’s breakfast organised;  he spoils that girl.   All was quiet around the villages;  I saw swimmers (heads) off the Breakwater,  a lady walking her dogs at Boat Wynd, and ‘Breadwinner’  (Captain Latto) at his creels off Chapel Green.    I enjoyed my morning.... but still have to go for the paper.


16.00    I had a very relaxing bike up to Kinneuchar on what has been a beautiful afternoon.    The plan was to go to Balcarres but I got sidetracked and used up too much battery.   I don’t think I’ll be going to Balcarres tomorrow;  unless it’s in the car.... the weather forecast is ‘light rain in the morning,.... the afternoon  brighter but windier’



19.00    It is cold this evening;  it was warm sitting in The Hutte doing a Soduko, but as soon as I stepped outside ... brrrr... it felt November-ish.    That said.... I have had a good ‘play day’;  tomorrow I’ll be doing computer stuff in the morning...... and in the afternoon if it’s as windy as is forecast.    I must remember to go for the paper(s) tomorrow;  if there’s a braw ‘light’ about I get sidetracked.

21.30    I’ve been watching people ‘prospecting’ for gold in the Australian outback ;  this


reminded me of when Jimmy bought a metal detector at a Car Boot sale, and we went detecting on the beach.   All we found was a lot of nails (which we put in a bin) and a two pence coin..... and.... I had a stiff arm for two days, I was the one swinging the detector.   This thing was a like an ex-army WWII mine detector.... heavy.

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
