Bonnie morning ....

2nd November 2021 (Tuesday)     06.30 .... there was a brisk breeze, and I


could see the stars as I hung out the washing this morning;  a good start to a bonnie morning.    If we don't get any showers I will be a very happy bunny.     Funnily enough, it isn’t cold even though the sun doesn’t rise for another hour.    I’m having a cuppa before getting the bike out and going for the paper.... then, sometime this morning, I intend taking the old microwave to the re-cycling depot at Pittenweem.

09.30    We had a bonnie sunrise... and had a light shower o’ rain (which I am not happy about);  but it’s generally a nice morning, albeit cool ..... with the chance of a light shower.   The washing stays out;  it’ll dry tomorrow if it disnae dry today.   Stuart was at the harbour;  I think he was thinking on going wind surfin’ but there wisnae any water.  Actually, he’d  found some kit that had been left out and was taking it to the office.    Must go, ‘slight flap on’ got that microwave to take to the skip;  after morning coffee.


20.30     The trip to the recycling depot went perfectly;  I’d say that the 'dump' is better organised no.   The skips have all been  numbered;  all I did was ask the operative "which skip does a microwave go in"... “No 7” he said, and that was the end of the conversation.    Fortunately I had a good conversation in the afternoon.    The afternoon!.... it was absolutely glorious.    I went out on the bike at 14.15 and got back home at 16.30 and I never left ‘The Royal Burgh’.    No... I did leave the ‘Royal Burgh’ .... I went up to the pony field.    The whole day has been brilliant for being out with the camera.... so I have a multitude of photographs to sort out.

The washing ‘nearly dried’,  in spite of having been caught with a couple of light


showers, in the early part of the morning:  I brought in a couple of items to be ironed but the rest is on the line, awaiting a nice drying day tomorrow.   The weather forecast for the next couple of days is ‘good’:   I hope to go up to Balcarres on one of them.... probably Thursday.

I’m off to put the kettle ‘on’ then have a browse through today’s batch of photos.    I did sort out a few for ‘FB’ but I have lot more to look at.   I’m tired tonight after a very enjoyable day.

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
