Bright and breezy ... the weather is fine too

18th March 2022 (Friday)    08.00 .... we have a bright and breezy morning...


and I’m feeling bright and breezy too.    It’s cool just now and there’s some cloud around, but we have the start of a bonnie day;  in fact this is the first of  a few bonnie days if the forecasters are right.   This should be a good biking day once the air heats up a bit; that said, tomorrow looks like being the best of this spell of early Spring days.  

10.00   Today is a ‘play day’ ... with a wee bit o’ work in the garden in the afternoon.    I’ve been for the paper (in the car), had a ‘nearly full English breakfast’.... I’m now going to have a cuppa then get the bike out to go and explore somewhere. 

22.00    It has been a lovely day ... and this boy did enjoy it.   As planned I went out on the bike twice, the first time as far as Robin Gray’s cottage.   Mind you I did a bit of exploring before I got to Robin Gray’s;  I didn’t go any further because the bike battery was only showing three bars, I went off road and used a lot of power.   I pottered around Kinneuchar and Kinneuchar Castle.  When I got back to Ivy I put the bike on charge before having a late lunch.


The breeze we’d had all day dropped away and we ended up with a balmy evening, so I went round the villages jut to soak in the atmosphere.... just like our visitors do.    I could enjoy being a visitor in Elie and Earlsferry;  but it’s better living here.   It’s great living in Earlsferry now that it is a community; there’s always someone around to pass the time of day with.

I suppose with having been a ‘play day’, tomorrow will have to be a ‘work day’.   Of course I’ll take ‘time out’ for a bit of exercise;  up to ‘arbour ‘ouse to buy a morrrrrrrrning coffee, to be enjoyed on a seat overlooking the ‘arbour.   Tomorrow is going to be another bonnie day, but there will be a cool breeze off the sea.  

I am a tired boy tonight;  floundering around ‘off road’ can be hard work, but I managed



to get to where I wanted to be, however the last 50 metres was a muddy.   I now have a bike that needs .... er ... cleaned.   Hey that could be tomorrow’s ‘work’;  I’d enjoy cleaning the bike.

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
