Bright and breezy (*not the weather) ....

2nd March 2022 (Wednesday)     08.00 .... The sky is overcast this morning,


and sunrise wasn’t exciting, (in fact it was well hidden) but there are holes in the general greyness, so I’m looking for sunny spells to come our way later.   The wind is from the Southeast, and is not warm.    I’ve been for the paper(s), had a turn round the harbour;  now I’m ready for breakfast.






11.30   After I got back from the beach I accidently found ballet on the tele, so I watched that: only to find that I was probably committing treason.  It was a recording of a modern version of ‘Coppelia’ by the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow... and absolutely brilliant..  Maggie and I both like(d) ballet.   

Myra’s car has been delivered to the garage, and we had ‘morrrrrrrrning coffee’ at No 3 when we got back to Earlsferry.   Since then I have caught up with some of the ‘ousework I didn’t do yesterday.    I’m no having a cuppa before getting ready to go to the 19th for lunch.

Sycamore tree - Balcarres.

22.30    As ever lunch at the 19th was excellent:  as was the company... the Troops;  Kirstie, Myra and Geoff.   It was a good day for sitting inside, eating good food and chatting.   I saw more of the ‘News’ than I have seen in a long time;  the TV was facing me.    Why do big ‘Powers’ try to inflict their ways on little countries?   ‘God’ must often regret creating humans.   Of all living things we are the only one capable of actually destroying life on Planet Earth.   (Note to me;  I must remember not to sit facing the television sets in the 19th, when the ‘News’ is on).   Thankfully the young folk (the Greta’s of the World) are more protective of Mother Earth.... so all is not lost.

Apart from watching the ‘News’ I have enjoyed myself today.   The weather was a bit ‘iffy’ and it’s wet just now.   ‘Light rain and a fresh breeze’ is the forecast for us tomorrow so it’s unlikely I’ll be out on the bike.   Myra checked the weather forecast for the next few days, and Saturday was the start of a sunnier spell of weather.

If it’s raining when I first get up tomorrow, I think I might have a ‘sleep in’ ... until 07.00.

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
