Breezy .....

3rd January 2022 (Monday)     07.30 ....it’s breezy but not yet bright because



it’s still dark.   I ventured out for a paper this morning, having restricted my activities to the beach up till now.    Although it is still a ‘super spreader’ situation, I have confidence in the vaccine and booster programme,  but still think the best thing for me, is to avoid COVID altogether, if possible.  I shall bumble down to the beach after another cuppa;  it is breezy but not yet as cold as it is forecast to be, so a walk to the beach will blow the  cobwebs away.

10.30   We have squally showers passing over at regular intervals now;  but my word sunrise time on the beach was magical.   I have another multitude of photographs to keep me happy for the day (in between doing a wee bittie ‘ousework).  I came off the beach with a card full of photographs.... and nae cobwebs:  Loved every minute of it.   It must be coming up for coffee time now.


16.45    I’ve been busy boy today:  Christmas is officially ‘done and dusted’.   The Christmas cards have been taken down..... I’d like to say the same about the tree but it was never ‘up’.    While doing this I found two cards that I hadn’t delivered (under my Lateral Flow Test box of all places);   the cards I’ll scrap and deliver a ‘Thank You’, and apology card in their place.    I am a ‘numpty’.

It has been funny kind of day;  the sun broke through for a wee while, but we ended up with a mostly dull afternoon.... so I have yet to go up the road to the golf course for a ‘change of scene’;  the thing is .... the beach is ‘made’ for sunrise photographs this just now.   

The gritter went down the road a wee while ago so we must be expecting frost;  and, the air was colder when I was at the bucket a wee while ago.    ‘Sunny intervals and a fresh breeze’ is mentioned for KY9 tomorrow, but not frost.

20.30   I’m beginning to understand why adult colouring books are so popular;  they are


relaxing to do.   Two of the three stained glass window colouring books I ordered  have been delivered and I have been colouring in one of the drawings (you use your own imagination re colours) and, although there’s no actual drawing involved, it’s still a challenge, ..... and good for arthritic hands.    The third book is being delivered next week ... I don’t know where it is coming from, but I don’t think it’s the UK.

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
