Magical morrrrrrrning ....

9th October 2021 (Saturday)   12.30 .... it’s starting to rain now, but my word,


what a gorgeous early morning we had.    King’s James the VI’s description of the Kingdom of Fife, “a beggar’s mantle with a fringe of gold” was pertinent this mornin, that’s for sure.   I went out (on the bike) about 07.45 and photographed my was round the villages, arriving back at Ivy very content.... and very hungry.    The afternoon will be taken up playing with this morning’s photographs.

The rain is forecast to peter out by evening time;  tomorrow is going to be a ‘drying day’ so I shall get the ‘oliday washing done.

15.00    It’s still raining so I’m going to have a cuppa then go into ‘rest mode’.    I’ll find something to watch on the tele,  and have a cat nap.   Tomorrow is going to be a better day for being out and about.


19.30    The light rain moved away in mid afternoon leaving us with a bonnie but cool evening:  There was a noticeable drop in the temperature hitting my lugs when I went up to Chapel Green an hour before sunset.   It was a quiet evening, there was a few folk out for a wander,  a boat in the bay towing a water skier and another boat off the lighthouse.    The village (Earlsferry) is busy .... at least it appears that way from the number of cars around.... I think it could be ‘half term’ school holidays somewhere.

I get my ‘flu jab on 23rd October at 08.20 (they must know I’m an early riser)..... I’m not certain, but I think I am getting the COVID booster at the same time.    This is at The East Neuk Centre in Anstruther.   I’m happy with this as both jabs should be effective well before Christmas.

Tomorrow is ‘do the holiday washing day’;  the forecast for KY9 is ‘sunny intervals with


a moderate breeze’.    In fact I’ll set the machine going (and put the kettle ‘on’) after this update and hang the washing out first light.  

I’m going see if there’s anything I fancy watching on the tele for the rest of the evening.   Might find a film on Channel 81.

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
