Sunny spells ....

22nd October 2021 (Friday)     08.30 .... There was a heavy shower o’ rain


when I went for the ‘paper’ early;  fortunately I was in the car, so I decided it was a good shopping day, and went to ‘The Store’.   ‘The Store’ was busy this morning;  and ...  it looked like the ‘panic buyers’ had been in last night as a few of the shelves were empty.   The shelves were being restocked as I bumbled my way round.    I got all the bits and pieces I wanted, and enjoyed  a relaxing drive home.   Everything has been put away in the appropriate cupboards;  and I am ready for breakfast.

It looks like being a nice day.... a sunny spells chance of a shower kind o day.    I hope to get the bike out after breakfast.

Last night I watched a film, ‘Restless Natives’(1985) on Channel 81.... the last scene was shot on the top of Kincraig Cliffs.


19.30    Jings I am one tired bunny tonight;  but I have had long and busy day.... and enjoyed it.    After breakfast I got the bike out and set off to go to Kinneuchar, then through Elie Estate, stop at Geoff’s for coffee,  then home for lunch.    Everything went to plan, until I stopped to talk to someone I met on the estate road.   We must have chatted for half an hour;   she is well up to date with ‘local history’.   Anyway by the time I reached the South Lodge gate it was too late to go to Geoff’s.... and Myra’s car wasn’t there.   I went home by way of The Terrace, Breakwater, The Ferry High Street and Chapel Green;  meeting Elizabeth and Graham out walking, with three of their friends;  girls that had been at Glenwood High School with Elizabeth.    Graham was giving the ‘girls’ a tour of The Royal Burgh, before going to the 19th for lunch.   I wish I’d taken a photo of the them together in Earlsferry (The Royal Burgh of).   I actually went up to the golf course just after14.00, hoping to catch them leaving the 19th....  but I must have missed them.  

I had lunch then downloaded the photographs I had taken.... switched on the tele and fell

The 'Thing'.

fast asleep;  and I’m still tired.   Early to bed for me tonight:  Myra is picking me up at 07.30 to take us to Anstruther for our booster jab(s).    Slight ‘flap on’....  I have a few photographs to sort out.

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
