Cool onshore breeze ....

5th June 2022 (Sunday)    06.30.... There is a lot of cloud  blown in from the


North Sea, on an F3 North easterly breeze, so it’s cool.    Hopefully the sun will burn off the cloud, and leave us with a bonnie day.   The ‘plan’ was to go out early on the bike but that might be foolish;  I’ll wait until the temperature rises, though it’s never going to be high with the onshore breeze.   Must go ...slight flap on;  I'm 'ungry.   Fingers crossed ....  I'm feeling brighter this morning I might be shaking off the cold I've had for the past couple of days.

09.00   The paper has been uplifted, and the harbour visited.... and I came home by way of Kinneuchar.   The sun has burnt off a lot of cloud giving us more ‘bloo’ bits .... and therefore more sunny spells.   Orf to have an early ‘morrrrrrrrning coffee’.


22.30    The ‘Boy’ (that’s me) is tired after a busy day.    I made myself a picnic lunch and went up to Chapel Green (at midday) to have lunch on Maggie’s seat, then met Barbara out on her pony.   Back at Ivy I had a shower then made myself ready for ‘work’...  at the at the History Society Exhibition.    As with all the History Society Exhibitions a lot of behind scenes research (and physical work) went into producing what was another very interesting exhibition.   It’s surprising just how much fascinating history has been accumulated by Elie and Earlsferry already.   I enjoyed ‘working’ (I opened the celebratory tin of chocolates after the exhibition closed).  

The villages have been busy over the Jubilee Holiday;  I had great plans to enjoy every


day out with the camera, but the bug I had, plus the cold East wind prevented that.   Nevertheless I have enjoyed the celebrations, though not as I would have liked.    Things will seem ‘dull’ now that the Jubilee celebrations are over.

It’s back to normal tomorrow; and I have a plan:  I intend going up to Beaufort Cottage to have ‘morrrrrning’ coffee, with Heather, Ray and Alistair.    And I am not going to allow myself to be diverted from that ‘plan’.

Well ... I am well ready for bed tonight.   It’s a time for a mug o’ chocolate then  off to bed to read a bit of my book.

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
