Bright, breezy and cool ....

23rd April 2022 (Saturday)     07.00 ....  I wish all my friends south of ra border

Gannets feeding near Ocean Valiant.

a “Happy St George’s Day” on this ‘bright and breezy’ morning.    The wind is from the Northeast so it’s not very warm in the wind, but will be very cosy in The Hutte.    I’m taking a turn up to Chapel Green on the bike after this update.....actually I might to a ‘roond o’ the villages’ if the wind isn’t too cold.  

09.00   I couldn’t do ‘roond the villages' because the bike battery was low;  but my word it was lovely out there.   It is chilly but even on a chilly day, bumbling round Elie and Earlsferry is magical.  Having been out I’d say that the wind is certainly ‘brisk’... in fact I’d go for ‘very frisky’.   I’m ready for breakfast now, before deciding what to do next:  I’m thinking Balcarres (in the car).

21.30    Balcarres in the car?.... when the pollen count is ‘High’?.....   not one of my best ideas.   Luckily I thought of that and didn’t go;  but I have had an really enjoyable day.    There was a function on in the Toon Hall, to raise funds for Ukraine Aid, and I ended up going to the Hall to take some photos of the Hall decorated for the occasion, and the ‘girls’ in action;  and it was really braw.   I put a donation in the box but didn’t stay for the lunch:   I was, how shall I put it?.... och.... just as I usually am;  clean but sort of

The new 'Four Winds'.

untidy.    With hindsight, I should have smartened myself up and stayed for the lunch;   I could have then taken photographs of the full hall.   It looked like there was going to be a good turnout;  folks were starting to arrive as I was leaving.   Oh.... the ‘Toon Hall’ is looking good;  you can see that it is in good hands.   That reminds me I found a leaflet the other day about becoming a 'Friend of the Town Hall' .... Maggie would want me to do that.   I'll do something about it;  if I can find the leaflet again!

I didn’t go out in the afternoon;  the wind was frisky and cold....it felt more like winter


than Spring to be honest.  The bike battery has been charged up ready for the first day when there is less wind .... and from a different direction.   Tomorrows weather is going to be much the same as today’s was;  Bright and sunny with a cold wind from the Northeast.    The bike battery won’t be used up tomorrow.

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
