2022 ....

1st January 2022 (Saturday)      14.00 .... “Year 2022 you are a welcome set of


numbers”;   although I have no doubt that there will be times when we don’t ‘love’ you, you come with positive vibes.   This has been one of the bonniest and warmest  New Years Day in a long time;  and I have enjoyed it.    

I’ve been to the beach twice;  the first was at sunrise time (sunrise was never going to be visible) and  the sky was overcast with spits and spots o’ rain in the brisk SW breeze.    The second time I went was at 10.15;  in time to catch Laura, Barbara, Grizelda and another girl on the beach with their ponies.   By this time we had a stunning sky, and lots happening on the beach.   I have sorted a few of the photos I took, and will sort out the others after I have a cuppa, followed by a catnap.   I am tired after having a late night last night.   I enjoyed this New Year;  watching, and bringing in the New Year, with  the ceilidh from Stornoway made it an old fashioned Scottish New Year.... not a ‘new fangled, modern  one.    Orf to make that cuppa..... my eyelids keep falling dowwwwww...n.


19.00    The first day of 2022, on Elie and Earlsferry beaches,  has been well recorded for my archives;  I went to the beach  again at sunset time, so have been there three times today..   It has been one of those days that photographers dream about, just perfect for the camera.... and with the beach being busy there was always someone going to walk into the ‘shot’ to bring it to life.    Of course this means I have a lot of photographs, to ‘play’ with, already this year.... and this is only day one.  

 20.00     Well... we have a tired, but happy, boy in Ivy tonight;   it was the late night/early morning watching the ceilidh from Stornoway that did it.... that and three wander to the beach.    My knee is ... er .... sair.

The weather has deteriorated a bit;  it’s raining... and it’s heavy.   We’re down for ‘light


cloud and a fresh breeze’ tomorrow, so the rain must move away overnight.   I have ‘nae plan’ for tomorrow.... it all depends on the weather.   I will try to go for a paper, but that also depends on the weather and how busy the streets are.

I’m orf to make my mug o’ chocolate;  it’s an early night in bed for ‘the boy’.    I can’t remember the last time I went to my bed after midnight;  probably New Year 2019 when I was at Michael’s in Sunny Sussex’.

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
