Beautiful morning ....

6th March 2022 (Sunday)    08.00 .... we have another bright and sunny, frosty


morning;  the frost will lift rapidly but there may be icy patches, so I’ll go for the paper (on the bike) later.   The car windscreen needs scraping and I can’t be bothered doing that. 

I’ve had a frustrating morning:  I, inadvertently, suspended my online banking account;  then spent 20 minutes un-suspending it.  The bank security system is excellent; and a good way of finding people to talk to early in the morning. 'Flap over' and I am well ready for a touch of caffeine.

11.30   The paper has been uplifted from the ‘paper shop’;  I then set off for the harbour but changed my mind and went to the lighthouse, for a change of scene.   There was a lot of people wander about even at that early hour, so beach should be busy today.... high tide is at 16.55 so there will be a big beach for most of the day.

Frankfurt to Colorado airliner.

15.30    I’ve never really caught up with myself since this morrrrrning;  auld age comes with a lot of attachments.  The ‘Master Plan’ was to go to the kirk but I never got organised in time.   What did I do instead?.... I biked up to Chapel Green and relaxed on Maggie’s Seat.   Chapel Green was busy.... not surprising when you think of the kind of day it is;  wall to wall sunshine.... and warm.    I chatted to a few folk out enjoying the sunshine;  and took a few photos.    I bought this camera because it had a decent zoom, and I like photographing boats and birds.   Oh... it hasn’t the zoom of the big lenses that the birders have,.... but it does me.    Anyway I tried taking a photo of an airliner flying over... and it worked.... so the lens is good for planes too.   One gentleman, in a group passing at the time, had a mobile phone, and was able to look at an ‘app’ and tell me that it was flying from Frankfurt to Denver in Colorado.   Modern technology is amazing.

21.30    Well .... it has been another cracker o’ a day and I managed to get my share of the sun.   The morning started with a bit of stress but that faded away when I went out with the camera.   Tomorrow is going to be another bonnie day.... but it will be breezier and therefore feel colder.... so, I’ll go for the paper later in the morrrrrning.

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
