Bonnie frosty morning ....

5th March 2022 (Saturday)      07.00 .... we have beautiful, frosty morning;  it’s


going to be a bonnie day.... I don’t know if it will be a drying day, but I have a washing going thought the machine in the hope that it will be.  Hmmmmm ...I imagine there will be icy patches on the road, so I won’t take the bike out until the temperature is well above freezing;  probably mid morning.

08.30   When I wandered down to the beach for sunrise, the frost was starting to lift and it was pleasantly warm;   and we had one of those peaceful Elie and Earlsferry sunrises.. the start of a bonnie day.    My washing is on the line, but there’s only a light breeze so it will take all day to dry.... but I’m happy with that.   It’s a good day for doing the bathroom, kitchen and lobby floors, in the early afternoon, when the temperature should be at its highest.... and after I have been out on the bike.


19.30    ‘The Boy’ is tired tonight.... after an enjoyable and busy day.   I( actually have a mix of play and work.... more play than work I might add.    I’ve been to the beach twice and out on the bike.    I did a washing.... and washed the bathroom, kitchen and lobby floors.   It has been a perfect day for doing all of those things;  especially the play.   I think I might have a touch of the sun;  I didn’t use the sun cream.

The villages are busy;  I’m wondering of this is some kind of holiday.   The mooring chains were being sorted at the harbour;  that’s a sure sign that Spring has sprung!    With the tide being out loads of folk were out walking on a big beach, on what was a cracker o’ a day.

I biked up to Harbour House in the morning to get a mug of coffee.... spoke to Laura and caught up with her news; I then went to the seats overlooking the harbour.  Three of the seats were occupied when I got there;  that was when I realised the villages were busy.   While sitting  enjoying my coffee.... and a goodie that I’d bought, I noticed  activity at the harbour, so louped on the bike to take a few photos.    I spoke to Mr ‘B’ for


a few minutes then louped on the bike again and made my way home by way of Elie Estate.  And that is why I am a tired bunny.   Oh and I printed off Myra’s reading for the kirk service tomorrow.    As far as I can make out the service is in the kirk hall.... with tea/ coffee.    I might just drop in, if I’m up that way on the bike at the right time (the weather forecast is good for tomorrow).   I’m not sure what the right time is actually.... but that’s easy enough to find out.

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
