Fresh breeze ....

3rd August 2022 (Wednesday)     07.30 .... it’s ‘bright and breezy’ with a frisky


wind (F4-5) off the SW so it’s a bonnie morning, with fresh feel to the air... but it’s going to get warmer by the middle of the day.  At the moment it looks like we could have light showers.   I did a COVID test (half an hour ago) and it came up ‘Clear’(which didn’t surprise me) so I suspect it’s the pollen that’s the  problem.   My airways are clear just now.

11.15   The car tyres had new valves fitted, and then resealed, which job took less than 20 minutes;  I then went to B n Q’s and Sainsbury’s and was back in Ivy by 10.00.   A bit of ‘work’ and a bit of play is next ... after a cuppa.

19.00    It was very peaceful up at Chapel Green when I was there this morning.   Ron was out with the pony and trap (which I photographed), and took a turn up to Chapel Green turning point;  where the three of us (four of us if you include the pony) had a good old fashioned, very relaxing Kinneuchar kind o’ blether.  That was just after ‘morrrrrning coffee’ time.   When they set off on their travels (Elie then home to Kinneuchar) I pottered around Chapel Green.   By the time I was back at Ivy I was well ready for lunch.


The de- mancaving operation (which continues unabated .... but awfie slowly) is trickier than I thought it would be.  Corners, that I used to get into ‘nae bother’, seem awfie awkward now...sort of higher up or lower down, and there’s more of them.  A ‘rest day’ will be on the cards soon.







21.30    Fife has a Yellow Warning (severe weather possible) for overnight rain;  the warning is active from 21.00 tonight until 06.00 tomorrow morning, which is the perfect time for us to have rain.  Thunder isn’t mentioned.

I guess that tomorrow’s plan all depends on what the weather is doing.  With me having


a choice of things to do I shouldn’t be bored.  ‘Things’ to do includes, watching the Commonwealth Games.  And maybe a wee bit o’ work now and again.

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
