Bright, breezy and slightly warmer ....

1st June 2022 (Wednesday)    10.00.... There’s much activity at the harbour this morning;  the first batch of concrete is being poured today.... the second batch in two weeks;  after that we should have a


new sea wall at the Sailing Club.   Oh .... things weren’t as they should have been yesterday morning.... someone tried to break into ‘Nosebag’ and the ticket machine;  they were unsuccessful in both cases and the culprit was ‘captured’ on the security camera.   All is where and how it should be this morrrrrning.

It’s a bonnie day.... and not as cold as it was yesterday;  alas, the wind is from the Easterly direction(not my favourite direction) so we’ll have a few degrees of wind-chill.   I met Irene, Paul and Diggory at the harbour again;  they visited the Falkirk Wheel yesterday and are going to Cambo today   It’s good that visitors are enjoying exploring, in spite of the .... er .... slightly unseasonably cool weather.

19.00   Em and John have had a busy day;  they went to St Andrews in the morrrning, did a wheen o’ work in the garden in the afternoon then had a walk up to ‘arbour ‘ouse.   What they’ve done in the garden is absolutely amazing:  I have to be honest the garden was beginning to depress me;  now I will enjoy it... and to keep it as it now is just by ‘pottering’.   Thanks to their hard work I’ll sleep soundly tonight.    I’ll paint the table for the ‘romantic corner’ (hereafter ‘RC’); something that is well within my capabilities.   Anyway.... "thank you" Em and John for all your hard work;  you could never guess just how happy you have made me.

It has been a brilliant day today .... even the cool easterly breeze was warm.   I didn’t go out, choosing instead to scrape the ‘RC’ table.   Painting it is going to be a problem;  ‘Blob’ being the actual ‘problem.

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
