Cracker o' a mornin'.....

4th June 2022 (Saturday)   19.30.... oops.... I forgot to update The Hutte this


morrrrrrrrrning.    Sorry aboot that but it has been a gorgeous day, though there was a cool breeze off the sea..... and I have been pottering around Ivy.   I didn’t go down to the beach but I imagine it would have been busy;  it certainly was a day for the beach.

When I went for the paper, in the car at 07.30, there was hardly any wind....and it was pleasantly warm.  At the harbour everything was where it should be and looking exquisite....picture postcard perfect (that reminds me I need to get some photos onto a ‘stick’) in fact.   I enjoyed taking postcard perfect pictures around Elie harbour. 

Back at Ivy the washing I’d put on was ready to hang out;  in fact I’d better go and bring it in because it has been a perfect drying day.  I’ll do the downie cover to do tomorrow and that will be the ‘troops’ washing done.


I had planned to go up to the ‘istory Society  Exhibition today but I am useless between 11.00 and 17.00 on days like this....when there’s a dry Easterly breeze so the bike has never been out.   I’ll get ‘up’ early tomorrow and ‘do’ the villages before the heat of the day.... and the onshore breeze.    I hope to be fit to ‘work’ at the Exhibition tomorrow.   The virus has certainly changed my routine... and then some.   That said I feel that I am ‘on the mend’... but not as fast as I’d like;  and imagine I'm not the only sufferer that wants tae 'get better' faster.


21.00   The new flowers that ‘M’ and John planted have been watered;  and they’re looking good.   I’ll take a picture once they begin to flourish.   It’s a beautiful evening but the cool breeze stops me from going to the beach.   Before the virus I’d pop down to the beach whenever;  even with an easterly breeze I could go to the beach.   Not now.... but hopefully soon.  I'm thankful that I'm  recovering even slowly;  a lot of folk didn't.

I’m orf to iron today’s washing; then make the chocolate and see if I can find something


to watch on the tele.    What a waste of a good invention the TV is; it’s just a platform for advertising with bits of film in between the adverts.

Overcast with light rain .....

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
