Dust free morning ....

12th November 2021 (Friday)  10.30 .... It was raining heavily when I went

Cheddar Gorge.

for the paper about 07.00, but it is dry just now ..... though the Western looks threatening.   At least we have breaks in the clouds now.... and sunny spells are forecast for later so it is not all doom and gloom.   I might have a wander down to the beach after breakfast.

 Here’s an example of what I have to put up with being ‘me’:  When I was having a shower this morning (06.00) I couldn’t understand what was wrong with the non slip mat in the bath;   it was upside down and the wee sookers were sticking to my feet.   It felt like I was being attacked by a flat octopus.    

Oh ....the haircut plan has been put off until next week when the sun will be shining;   that way I won’t need another haircut until after New Year.   It’s morrrrrrrning coffee time.

16.30    I haven’t been out since I went for the paper this morning, but I have been busy enough around the house.... and on the computer, so I’ve had a satisfactory kind of day;  but not a ‘play day’.  

Slight moan    I’ve been keeping an eye on the  news from Glasgow;  COP26 has been, more or less, as Greta Thunberg predicted....“Blah blah blah”, just like the previous 25 COP’s.   It’s not really surprising that the planet is in trouble .... Mother Earth is having to contend with a plague of ‘human locusts’ , apparently quite prepared to destroy anything for personal gain;   including the atmosphere that made life possible on planet Earth.   It’s a sad state of affairs.    Moan over.

20.00    Wellll .... it has been  a funny old day;  especially the weather.    I’m contented

Cheddar Gorge.

enough with what I have done today but I’m looking forward to a sunnier day tomorrow:  Sunny intervals with a light wind is the forecast.... so we should get out and about.   I never even went  out with the camera today, though I thought about it in the middle of the day, when that ‘nearly sunny spell was over us’.    I’ll make up for it tomorrow.   In the meantime I’ll unearth a couple of older photos for today’s ‘news’.

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 f...

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 l...

The morning after 'Storm Eowyn' ....

25th  January 2025 (Saturday)     08.30 .....  Well .... that was one frisky wind yesterday Candlelight evening....Unfortunately not a romantic one! afternoon;   from 14.30 to 17.30 it was absolutely ferocious.    And I got some damage at Ivy Cottage;  a ridge tile blew off, slid down the roof and broke the rhone (guttering I thinks it's called now) so that will have to be repaired.  A Red Warning of wind means damage and that's what we have;  not only at Ivy but at other places around Elie and Earlsferry.... and over the whole area of the red Warning.   I only hope no one was injured by stuff being blown around in the wind.    It's the worst wind I have ever experienced in Earlsferry.   I have never felt so useless .... and helpless.    My neighbour Mathew came round to see if I was OK.... which I really appreciated;  I enjoyed talking to him.... it calmed me down a bit.  ...
