Wall to wall blue sky ....

27th February 2022 (Sunday)      09.00 ..... we have a cracker of a start to

Sunrise over the East Links.

the day.... ‘wall to wall’ blue sky with a brisk breeze orf the SSE;  a beautiful day for doing things.... work and play.   The paper has been picked up, and the harbour visited.    The garden thermometer is showing 4C just now, and should start to rise, now that the sun is higher in the sky; the forecast is for us is ‘sunny with a moderate breeze’.   I plan to go out, on the bike, after my morning coffee break.


11.00    The single bed sheets are on the line, the bottom sections of the front window have been given a ‘quick dicht’ so that I can see oot (and to let light in)... and the bike tyres pumped up.  There’s a rice pudding in the oven and I am finishing orf my coffee before taking a turn out on the bike:  got to be back within an hour and a half...for the rice pudding.   Must ‘go’ slight flap on’ now; it’s ‘playtime’.


15.30    I set off on the bike, planning to go to St Monans;  but...on my way along to Elie I ventured down Fountain Road to The Breakwater, from where I saw a couple of dinghies out in the bay.   I ended up at the harbour (not St Monans harbour), and had a happy half hour taking photos from the pier.   It has been a beautiful day for being on the water.   By the time I finished at the harbour I didn’t have time to go to St Monans, and be back in time to rescue the rice pudding, so I went up to Chapel Green to relax with ‘The Boss’.    This would have been the perfect day to go for a longer bike ride, but I’m looking forward to more days like this (not tomorrow) when I won’t put anything in the oven, so that I can go for longer runs.    

The washing will be dry and ready for ironing by now.   That will be my next mission.   After a cuppa.

19.30    Well... I’ve had a busy day... an enjoyable mix of work and play.  The ironing has been done ....and food consumed;  now I am ready to settle down in front of the tele and search for something interesting to watch.

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
