Love is in the air ....

10th March 2022 (Thursday)     07.00....Hmmmmm... we have a grey


morning;  one of those morning’s when you rely on smiling people brightening up the day.   That said it’s not cold, so I’ll bike up to Elie for the paper as I’m feeling fairly frisky.   Oops;   I sneezed just now .... hope that’s not a bad sign.  

10.00 I’ve been for the paper and did the ‘roond the villages tour’;  all is well and looking good at Elie and Earlsferry.   I’d have gone through the estate but the bike battery was low;  it’s now being charged up for a sortie out in the afternoon.    Oh .... nearly forgot;  I have sneezed twice this morrrrrrrning.   Mind you I’m feeling frisky ... but I will stay away from the ‘Hope Cafe’ this afternoon.... just in case.   I’ll test myself tonight:  it’s ‘play time’ just now.


15.00   I’m having a cuppa before going for a turn out on the bike;  I might not go too far as the sky sometimes looks like it could give us a shower.  Oh....on my way round Chapel green I noticed that the slab for Jim’s memorial seat has been put in;  we should get the seat in a few days.  Jim’s seat is near the gateway to the Dome Park.... and Lundar Law.... a perfect place for me mooring up the bike and having another coffee stop.





20.30    My head has kept well below the parapet today... I didn’t go out in the afternoon at all.   Dod phoned and I caught up with his news;  he too is staying low, to avoid catching the bug.    Michael and Janice (Sussex) say it was just like having a heavy cold..   I haven’t sneezed again today, but I am awfie sleepy!   I  feel fine but I’ll test myself tomorrow.

Spring is well underway now;  I saw three pair of Mallard on the harbour beach this


morning....‘Blob’ is seriously ‘in love’.... and the daffodils at Chapel Green are starting to bloom.   I have yet to see a Bumble bee son the flowering currant;  this is definitely odd.  

Tomorrow will be a computer day according to the weather forecast;  which is ‘strong winds and rain’ off the southeast.   There will be no ‘roond the villages’ on 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

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
