Breezy (F6) ....

31st January 2022 (Monday)    07.30 .... Last night’s wind has moderated to a


frisky F6 (Largo Bay), and it looks like we’re going to have a bonnie, slightly cool, day.   I’m going to Cupar in the afternoon; but .... right now, I’m going to begin my day with a daunder to the beach to catch the sunrise.  

10.30    There was a touch of frost in the air when I was on the beach;   I wasn’t cold (‘cos I was like a polar bear wearing a ski suit),..... and we had a lovely sunrise, with interesting clouds and light.   Now I suppose I’d better start thinking of Cupar, ‘cos I’m too late for the Kinneuchar walk.

The IPSUM Team are doing things, with a  ‘drain sooker’ at Ferry Corner;  they should be finish the job today.   Slight ‘flap on’; it’s morrrrrrrrning coffee time, .... before I think of Cupar.   

20.30    The sewer repair at Ferry Corner  is ‘done and dusted’, the cones have been uplifted and the road system is back to normal.   Things are quiet again in ‘The Ferry’.


I had a pleasant trip up to Cupar .... and back.   The Adamson may be half an hour away, but, they don’t mess about up there;  the longest I’ve been in the hospital is five minutes.   I always come home via Ceres;  for two reasons.   The Fudge doughnut factory is on the Ceres Road.... and I think Ceres is a picturesque village.  It seemed pointless buying just one doughnut at the ‘FD’ factory .... so I bought two.   One for me and the other for ‘JB’;  just in case he turns up for a surprise visit.   When I think of it;  ‘JB’ is nearly 500 miles away and fudge doughnuts don’t have a long shelf life!   I will force myself to ‘yield to temptation’, and scoff the second one tomorrow.

I’ve had a non-stop day since I got up at 05.45 and I am now shattered;  so it’s an early night in bed for ‘The Boy’.

Tomorrow’s plan is to go out on the bike;  the forecast is  good apart from one element; 


the wind.   We are in for another windy day, but .... it is going to be warm for this time of year. I’ll get the bike out and take a turn round The Ferry in the morning.

The postie brought a letter from ‘Nextdoor, Elie St Monans and Pittenweem’ today.    It seems to be a good idea, and I would have joined up;  but Earlsferry isn’t on it.   Orf to make the chocolate.   Oh I am a looking forward to pottering around on the bike again.

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
