Lovely morning ...

7th September 2020 (Wednesday)   08.30 .... we had thick haar earlier in the


morning but that has melted back out to sea and we now have a glorious , bright, sunny and warm day.   I’ve been for the paper(s) and visited the ‘arbour:  Stewart (Harbour Master) beat me to it this morning.   The tide was out (high tide is at 12.49) so I had a wander round the boats... until the camera battery went.    The haar might drift around today..... if so, we could get some interesting photographs.   I’m ready for breakfast.

21.30     The road resurfacing,  between Upper Largo and Lundin links, is progressing rapidly;  I don’t see it taking the 15 working days as planned.   Obviously there’s a holdup at the traffic lights but nothing annoying... though it might be at rush hour.


I’ve been at Letham Glen with Alice and other volunteers;  I’m not a volunteer I just wanted to see what is happening around Levenmouth:  today we chatted, Shona made a card, and we all played dominoes.   I’ll change that;  three  played I made up the numbers.    It was a good laugh... and ... yes I eventually won the very last game.   Happy boy.

After Letham Glen we went back to Alice’s then onto Windygates, to have lunch with Izzy and Alan (Alice’s daughter and son-in-law).    Alan and Izzy have  classic Chevrolet pickup;  I’m not sure what year but it looks like early 50’s.

Tomorrow is an important day for me; I’m going to have my haircut at Lorraine’s.... and it’s long overdue.  Actually I’ve let my hair grow long so that Lorraine  can actually do something with it.   That ‘operation’ happens at 10.15.   Apart from that 'operation' which happens at 10.15 I have ‘nae plan’ for tomorrow.

Fife is covered by a Yellow Warning for heavy rain;  the warning is ‘operational from

Classic Chevrolet pickup.

04.00 to 10.00 tomorrow morning; the weather forecast for tomorrow being ....‘thundery showers and a moderate breeze’.    It might be damp in the morning.

I have enjoyed today.... and, as is usual after an enjoyable day, I am well tired.   It’s chocolate time.

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
