Beautiful, peaceful and warm morning ....

30th December 2021 (Thursday)    09.30 .... my word .... we have absolute


cracker of a morning;  hardly any wind (not a handy for anyone wanting to dry a washing), warm for the time of year, with the occasional light shower.   The showers should fade away by 10.00, the wind freshen .... and I will hang out the washing.

The beach is busy with dog walkers and joggers this morning;  they bring   my photographs to ‘life’.    I never left ‘The Seat’ this morning;  in fact I wish I’d taken a mug o’ coffee with me;  it was a perfect  morning for dreaming.   I did.

I’m feeling ‘back to normal’ this morning.... I even remembered to take my pills.   When I say ‘back to normal’ I mean ‘Planet Alberto’ normal.    I’m orf to hang out the washing.

11.00    One of my Christmas presents was a jar of ‘Queen Catherine’s Honey’, from Emily (my Granddaughter) and John in Somerset.   Last night I had a teaspoonful in my bedtime chocolate; and I had a really deep sleep.   I didn’t wake up until 07.30.   I’ll be having a teaspoonful every night before bedtime.


Another of my presents (from Michael and Janice)... a 3D Model Puzzle of the Flying Scotsman, I shall contemplate further before opening the box.   I might wait until  someone with younger hands visits, then I can ‘advise’, and take the finished photograph!

I’m thinking of getting the bike out after ‘morrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee’;  I have a new safety helmet to test run;  up to Chapel Green.    It’s is a perfect fit, with the woollen hat that Lexie gave me to wear under it.  

The wind has freshened, and the showers appear to have moved away;  it’s a good drying day.

15.00    My test run  wearing the helmet ... and the High Visibility vest (Christmas prezzie from Jackie and Iain), was complete success.    The woollen hat kept my heid and lugs warm, the helmet fits snugly and comfortably.... and there’s nae hidin’ place wearing the HV vest.    I’m ready for Spring.   Actually it feels quite Spring like today;  but not as Spring like as it is down in Sunny Sussex.... and Somerset!

20.30    This has been a really good day;  the washing ‘nearly dried’, and has been


ironed and now airing on horse thing.    I ordered stained glass colouring books (3), and two of them were delivered today.   One of the books has the drawing on translucent sheets of paper.... they should look reasonably realistic.   Jim, Alan and I recorded many Fife kirks, including the stained glass, and was hooked on stained glass windows.   When I’m down south I like to potter around Sussex churches.

The villages seem to be awfie busy now;  I’m thinking the bike will remain in the Hutte until the ‘holiday’ is over.... I think everyone starts back at work on the 5th.   Light showers are forecast for tomorrow, so we could have an interesting sky.

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
