Drying day ....

10th November 2021 (Wednesday)     06.30 .... It’s a peaceful morning;.....


at this time it’s still dark, so there’s not much happening right enough;  apart from ‘Blob’ twittering in the Rowan tree.   It’s going to be a good ‘drying day’ so there’s a washing going through the machine.... and I am feeling playful, so,  I’ll get the bike out and go for the paper about 07.00, and take in the sunrise from the harbour. 

09.30    The paper has been uplifted .... and I have been ‘roond the villages’.   There was never going to be a visible sunrise (at sunrise time) due to a bank of low cloud, but it is a lovely morning .... slightly chilly, but that will change once the sun does appear above the cloudbank.   Orf to put the kettle ‘on’.

15.00    In spite of having a migraine I enjoyed the History Society ‘coffee morning’ at the ‘Pav’;   I had Earl Grey tea..... and a coffee bun thing.     Myra brought along a piece of ‘Mauchline’ ware... in fact she donated it to the society.   We couldn’t make up our minds as to what it had been


used for;  it looked like a ‘piggy bank’ but didn’t have a slot for money going in.    It did have  drawer with a hole in it.    In the end we decided that it was an Earlsferry piggy bank;  one where you dropped the coin into the hole in the drawer....  it fell through and you still had your coin.   Yes that would be  Ferry ‘piggy bank’.    Oh.... the picture on the piece was one of old Earlsferry ... pre 1870.

17.00    Medium level ‘Flap on’:  The car tax reminder came in this morning (£30), due on the 1st December, so I decided to get that done with;  I then discovered that the MOT expires on the 22nd, so I can’t tax it until the MOT has been renewed.   It is now booked in for an MOT at the Fife Auto Centre, St Andrews.... on the 22nd!   Flap over..... kettle ‘on’.

20.30 .... It looked like we might have a decent sunset but there was a bank of low cloud,


so, although sunset was bonnie it wisnae brilliant.    Tomorrow’s weather looks like being a repeat of today’s.... though it might be cloudier.   I’ve had a good day;  but a mostly lazy afternoon.

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
