Beautiful morrrrrrrrrning ....

23rd March 2022 (Wednesday)      09.00 .... We have a lovely morrrrrrrrning


at Elie and Earlsferry;  it is hazy, but that makes for interesting photographs.... and it is warmer;  in fact it could  be ‘hot’ (ish) in the afternoon.   I’ve been for the papers (in the car ‘cos I was short of milk) then down to the harbour.    It was very peaceful and picturesque.   I then came home by way of Balbuthie Loan and Kinneuchar..... having forgotten about the price of fuel.

At the moment I am having an early morning coffee... and a slice homemade ginger bread, made by my lovely friend Marcia...xx.   It’s my birthday today;  I’m 48 ... or is it 84? 

17.00    Welllllll ....I have really enjoyed my birthday.   Cards, presents... including ‘Emergency Rations’ have been part of my especial day.    “Happy Birthday” was sung at the History Society coffee ‘get thegither’.   The ‘Troops’, (Myra, Kirsty, Geoff) then treated me (the fourth ‘troop’) to lunch at the 19th.    A big “Thank You” to everyone;  you made ‘my’ day very enjoyable.   I love you all;  and I am feeling ‘loved’.   Our next birthday is Geoff’s .... in July.


I had intended going up to Chapel Green on the bike, in the afternoon, but the wind was off the sea, and it was not warm;  there was also a misty haar all around so I put the bike away and will go to Chapel Green tomorrow.  We were forecast to have a warm, verging on hot, afternoon but the onshore breeze took care of that.  Instead of going to Chapel Green I had a cuppa in The Hutte, fed ‘Blob’, had a catnap;  oh .... and watched the Bumble bees are feeding on the flowering currant:  in fact one of them bumbled into The Hutte and had to be rescued.   Today has been a very enjoyable ‘rest day’.

20.30    There was an interesting sky at sunset time so I louped into the car and went to


the harbour:  and I wasn’t disappointed.    The sky was bonnie in a different way... and ominous towards the southeast.    In fact, when I left the harbour spits and spots o’ rain began to hit the windscreen, and the rain was fairly heavy by the time I got back home.   It didn’t last long.

I am absolutely shattered tonight; yesterday’s work session, and the excitement of my birthday today has caught up with me.   Tomorrow is going to be another rest day.  Right now it’s browse the TV channels....and chocolate time

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
