Not a good hair day ....

8th October 2021 (Friday)     08.30 ....  The ‘bucket cairt’ lauds were on the


ball this morning.... the ‘broon’ bucket was emptied at 07.02.... just as I was ‘loupin’ intae the car to go for the paper:  The car because it was spittin’ rain.   It still is spittin rain, but .... the raindrops are closer now.

The villages are lookin’ as bonnie as ever.... even on what looks like being a damp day. After buying a paper, and milk at the ‘paper shop’, I went to the harbour to check if all was as it should be.   It was... and I was down there before Stuart.    Stuart and I had time for a short chat;   Stuart couldn’t hang around as he had Lorraine’s breakfast to get ready.   I photographed the sunrise sky which was awfie bonnie but not spectacular before going back to Ivy to have breakfast, then go to Leven to pick up my specs from 'Specsavers'.

11.00    The new glasses are comfortable to wear, and have sharpened my sight;  I didn’t realise that it (sight) had deteriorated... I just thought the old glasses needed cleaned.   Anyway I’ve been to Leven, got the specs and did a small ‘shopping’ in Lidl’s..  

There’s a chance of sunny spells in the afternoon, so I might get out on the bike:   In the meantime I’ll have ‘morrrrning coffee’ and browse the paper.


13.30    I’m beginning to think that the bike is going to be ‘resting’ all day:  the weather is of the ‘disnae ken whit tae dae’ kind.   I thought the sky was brightening up an hour or so ago but it’s raining again.    I’ll put the kettle ‘on’;  because the sky is once again beginning to brighten up!

21.30    Eventually the sky brightened up, the light rain showers faded away.... and I went out to do a tour of the villages, on what was a balmy afternoon, with a gorgeous ‘light’ about.     Chapel Green and the harbour were both busy, with folk enjoying a leisurely wander:  we did have the occasional spit of rain but not enough to put the camera in the bag.    I enjoyed myself,...and came home with many photographs to ‘play’ with.

We don’t have a very encouraging weather forecast for tomorrow ....‘light rain and a


moderate breeze’;   it looks like being a computer day.   Sunday is the better day of the weekend if the weather is as forecast;  it should be a good drying day so I’ll finally get the holiday washing done.

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
