Bright, and sunny ....

19th February 2022 (Saturday)    12.00 .... My word .... Men’s Curling final


made fantastic viewing;  the result wasn’t exactly how I’d have liked it.... but to watch two teams of skilful players, trying to outthink and outplay each other... both teams playing some amazing stones .... was really ‘out of this world’ stuff.   I have no nails left to chew on for the Girls Final tomorrow (at 13.05).    The ‘Boys’ did us proud coming away with their Silver Medal.... and, it was so nearly Gold.  They lost 5 – 4 to Sweden, after an extra end... and an extraordinary match.   

We have a gorgeous day here; it’s, cold and there’s frisky breeze blowin’ so there’s wind chill.   I went to the beach first thing.... and might go out again later, but right now I am well ready for food.

18.30     It has been a beautiful day;  and the wind that was forecast for late this afternoon and tonight,  is now forecast to arrive early tomorrow.   I nearly got the bike out today.   I set off for Crail in the car after lunch, then remembered it was Saturday so


Crail would be busy;  I ended up at Kinneuchar.   It was when I got back home that I thought of going out on the bike.   Thinking about it was as far as that got;   I ended up having a cuppa and falling asleep in front of the tele.   

22.00    Tomorrow we have the Women’s curling Final (01.05), after that I can start to relax,  and my excitement levels get back down to normal.   I should also get back to my usual activities.   Although there’s hardly a breath of wind just now (I’ve been out at the bucket) we should  have a brisk wind, F4 – 6, for most of tomorrow.   I think I might have a day pottering around the garden; there’s a lot needing to be done.... and doing it is not as easy as it used to be.   Actually we could have light rain showers, and


that could put a damper on the pottering; but, there might be bonnie clouds.   It’s an ill wind that doesn’t blow some good.

It’s chocolate time;  I’ve had an exciting day, and a tiring one.... though I can’t think why.   There must be a change of weather coming our way.

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
