Peaceful morrrrrrrning ....

30th April 2022 (Saturday)      07.00.... it’s warmer than I expected it to be this

'Dod'.

early ....the garden thermometer is showing 8C so I’ll get the bike out to go for the paper.... and buy a scarecrow map.   Just now there’s a light breeze off the East.... with a ‘slight chance of precipitation’ (light showers) later in the afternoon so a bonnie day albeit with more cloud around.   

10.00   It’s a lovely ‘go out to play’ morning:  and I did.    I’ve been for the paper (and scarecrow map) then down to the harbour.... on the bike.   There’s a light breeze off the sea;  it’s cool but not cold.   I met ‘Dod’ going for his paper;  this event has been recorded for posterity.   I’m going to have another cuppa before having a walk down to the beach.

Barbara.

18.00   Instead of going to the beach I louped onto the bike and went up to Chapel Green;  this is the second time out on the bike today so I’ll be sair tomorrow.    I haven’t done much biking over the past four weeks;  I had an ‘setback’ at the Breakwater ‘iggzactly’ four weeks ago. 

The main excitement of the day was our ‘Royal Burgh’ wedding this afternoon;  with lots of guests looking like they had stepped straight out of Vogue.   I managed to get some photos of guests going to the church... and of the wedding cars.   No photographs of the bride unfortunately;  I managed to be at the wrong side of the road when her car passed by.   That said I am happy with the ones I did get.... sort of my kind of memories of the day.   Unfortunately it started to rain (only light.... but wet) about 14.45;  I doubt if it would be much of a damper on such a happy day.

I had intended going to the beach in the evening but the rain, though light, is


persistent.... and looks like it’s here for the evening.

20.30    The rain is really very light so I went to the beach to get a few photos of the Wedding marquee lit up for the Reception:  it looks very cosy.    The band started up when I was down there.... a happy sound at the end of a happy day.

The rain is going to move away and it should be cloudy but dry tomorrow morning.

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
