Quiet .....

7th February 2022 (Monday)    07.00 ....I’m back into my routine this


morning;   ‘up’ at 06.00 and ready to go out to ‘play’.   It’s still dark so I can’t.... go out to play.   I am going to go for the paper (in the car) and will take a turn down to the harbour for sunrise time; there’s a touch of cauldness in the air.... hence the car.

09.30    We had a ‘cosy looking’ sunrise sky this morning.... and I had an enjoyable hour at the harbour.    I have still to go for the paper (got excited and forgot about it on the way home);  which I shall do, on the bike, after morrrrrrrning coffee.  Just now we have a light breeze, but the wind is forecast to freshen, up to F6, later in the afternoon.  

16.30    I never did get to Elie for the paper.  I did get the bike out, with the intention of doing a circuit of the villages, but when I got to Chapel Since then we have had a shower o’ rain and the wind has freshened.   Tomorrow is forecast to be a bonnier day.... it might even be a good drying day.


I missed the Kinneuchar walk this morning:  by the time I’d sorted out this morning’s photos it was 10.00, and I was ready for a cuppa.... and looking forward to watch the Winter Olympics.   This morning we had the Women’s 15 kilometre Biathlon (skiing and shooting).  I wouldn't mind having a shot of the rifles they use for the target shooting.   It's a far superior looking piece of kit compared to the 303.   Mind you they aren’t shooting at a target 600 yards away.

19.00    The wind is to moderate overnight, and the rain showers vanish;  and tomorrow’s weather is going to be ‘sunny intervals with a fresh breeze’....I might go out on the bike once the temperature gets going.   It should be reasonably warm for this time of year.  

At the Winter Olympics the  GB Curling Team lost to Norway in the semi finals; it all


came down to the last two stones, with Norway having the last stone;  it was exciting.   They (Team GB) play Sweden for the Bronze Medal tomorrow morning.

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
