Bright eyed and bushy tailed ....

22nd January 2022 (Saturday)     07.30 .... everything is wet , even ‘Blob’


looks bedraggled....  we must have had a shower of rain;  it’s too wet to be melted rime.    I am ready for a daunder to the beach;  it’s cloudy (checked the weather cams) but showers aren’t mentioned in today’s forecast.   Another cuppa is called for, before venturing out.

11.30    I had an enjoyable morning on the beach;  we had a bonnie sunrise, and conversations aplenty.   Old style conversation is gradually returning, though I think older folk still have to be wary.   Having said that; I’m treating the toilet roll like a Tibetan Prayer Wheel again ....that is definitely a positive sign.   I’m starting to feel peckish.


19.00   This has been a lazy afternoon;  I fell asleep in the chair after lunch, and woke up to a cauld cuppa on the coffee table.   The first thing to do in that situation is switch on the kettle;  which is what I did.   After a fresh cuppa I sorted out some of this morning’s photos, then went for a run in the car.   I don’t think I have ever seen Elie and Earlsferry villages as busy as they were today;  the middle of January is usually quiet.   I saw 10 mobile homes up at Woodhaven Car Park.   It was a nice enough day, in fact brilliant for the time of year:  seeing the villages this busy in January suggests we could be in for a busy (and long) holiday season this year.

22.00    It’s really mild tonight (I’ve been out at the bucket);   almost feels  Spring like.   I’ve been watching the tele (and not falling asleep) having found an episode Midsomer Murders’ that I haven’t seen for a long time.   Although a ‘lazy’ day, it has been relaxing.... and enjoyable.    Tomorrow, being Sunday, will be another restful day;  I’ll ‘go to the kirk’


online ... with a mug o’ coffee and Milk Chocolate Digestive.   I got caught out last week and ended up in a ‘Room’  at the end of the Service... I’m not awfie guid in rooms;  usually I forget to ‘unmute’ the microphone.

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
