Bright, breezy and cool ....

21st October 2021 (Thursday)   09.00 .... It’s a beautiful morning;  with the

St Monans.

wind being from the NNW it’s cooler, but, wrapped up its ‘braw oot’.   Last night I worked late on the computer.... and  slept in this morning (07.30), so  I haven’t been further than the front gate .... but, will go out after breakfast.   It  looks like being another good drying day.... albeit a cold one.  

19.00   After I picked up the paper I decided on a change of harbours....and went to St Monans.     A couple of men were working on their yachts on the pier (Crane Out’ also took place there this week).     One of them had sailed their yacht, from Milford Haven (SW corner of Wales) to St Monans.   The journey was done in stages as he was working in between stops, so it took a few weeks.   I was half way out on the middle pier when the camera battery ran out;  and the camera bag, with spare batteries, was in the car.

'Four Winds' building site.

Myra invited Kirstie, Geoff and me for lunch, so I didn’t have to worry about food.   Geoff couldn’t manage so there was only the three of us.... and a load of very tasty food.    There was an empty platter when we finished.... and three very satisfied puku’s.    I’d biked up to Myra’s so when I left I went straight up to Chapel Green, to get a photo of the ‘thing’ that arrived in the Firth this morrrrrrrrning.    It was windy and not too warm so I didn’t stay long;  just long enough to get some ‘instructions’ from Maggie. 

21.00    Today has been an enjoyable day;  it was great catching up with Kirstie and Myra.   I meant to phone Geoff in the afternoon but ended up on the computer.   When I start writing I get absorbed in it;   if I stop it can’t be for more than ten minutes;  more than that and I lose the ‘mood’;  and might as well go out on the bike.  

It’s going to be colder tomorrow, and there’s to be a brisk wind from the Northwest so


wind chill will be a factor:  a wrap up well day.   There will be long sunny intervals, but there’s a slight chance of showers in the afternoon:  by that time I’ll be ensconced in front of the computer.

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 f...

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 l...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
