It's a 'play day' ....

15th October 2021 (Friday)    10.30 .... My word .... we have a beautiful


autumn day.... wall to wall sunshine, with only a breath of a breeze;  I think this might be a ‘play’ day.    I went to the beach to catch the sunrise;  the sun eventually  appeared, above a bank of low cloud, 15 minutes after sunrise time... and we are now basking in it’s lovely warmness.    I have yet to pick up the paper but I’ll get the car out for that... might even go as far as the harbour.




17.00    Myra and I had ‘morrrning coffee’ (from ‘arbour ouse) on one of the new seats alongside the kirk wall.... basking in warm sunshine, watching the traffic go by;  and there was a lot of traffic, pedestrian and vehicular.  There was so much traffic it was difficult crossing Elie High Street.   I didn’t go to the harbour, but went home then had another walk to the beach.   I’ve been to the beach twice today;  three times if you count the time I went down, fired up the camera, looked through the viewfinder and read ‘No Card’;   I’d left the card attached to the computer.  


The beach was busy.... like a warm summer’s day;  actually it felt like summer, though I noticed that most folk had an extra jacket on.    We had a yacht sailing south towards North Berwick, a couple of board walkers, folk paddling....  and swimming;  and others, like me, relaxing on a seat watching it all happen..   My knee is sair with all this activity.



22.00    I was looking forward to another sunny day tomorrow but apparently it’s going to be cloudier, and colder but, luckily,.... only a light breeze.   I must have jarred my knee sometime today because it is not a happy knee.   I’ll have a quiet day tomorrow.... hopefully manage at least one walk to the beach;  however I’ve got loads to do on the computer so I won’t be bored.

I can’t get over how busy Elie High Street was today;  it’s good to see the villages busy,

Myra - with morrrrrning coffee.

but if the roads are going to be this busy we’ll be needing a proper crossing, on Elie High Street, to access the new seating arrangements with our mugs of coffee etc.   The seats are situated perfectly for ‘people and car watching’.... especially on a day like today.

Must go "slight flap on”.... feeling in need of hot chocolate.

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
