Feeling frisky ....

17th May 2022 (Tuesday)    07.00.... we have a fairly thick fog that has drifted


in from the North sea this morning,  but the sun is trying to burn it back... and it looks like it could be successful.   In fact I am considering biking along to the ‘paper shop’

10.00   We have a cracker o’ a mornin’.... and I have been for the paper and ‘roond the villages’ on the bike:  in fact I intend going out on the bike after morrrrrrrning coffee;  it’s a ‘play day’.   I got a load of fog photographs this morning, but I’ve only sorted out a few of them;  I want to take advantage of the kind of day it is so there will be a lot more to sort in the afternoon.    Must ‘go’... ever so slight ‘flap on’.

18.30    The sky changed so I didn’t go out again;  but I eventually sorted out all the photos I took this morning.   Although I say the sky changed it was a bonnie day for being out, it was the mist that evaporated a little too quickly for me.  Instead of going out I did some more research on the computer, then fell asleep as per normal nowadays, ....


oh and did my first ever ‘Extreme’ Soduko (Daily Telegraph book).    They are hard blighters and I am really pleased.   I have had a happy day; although shaking off the virus is taking longer than I thought....however, if sleep is the way to shake it orf it shouldn’t take too long;  I rest well enough after lunch!





21.00   Jings...I’ve been busy on the phone this evening;  I’ll need to get myself a Secretary.   Emily and John are coming for a couple of nights on 30th May so I’m looking forward to that.... and I had a phone call from Alice who has been for a break up in Aberdeenshire;  and ended up visiting various castles including Crathes Castle.   We lived on the Crathes estate for four years.... and I went Crathes School.  It’s a small world.

I see that rain is forecast for us overnight but tomorrow should be fine;  and the wind


(fresh) should be from the Westerly direction.   I need to go to Kinneuchar either tomorrow or Thursday.... to have another look at the old kirk wall.

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
