Quiet start to the day ....

29th September 2022 (Thursday)    06.30 ....The Eastern sky is starting to


brighten;  and I am having another cuppa before taking a wander to the beach.  The sun appears over the horizon at 07.10 but whether that event will be visible is doubtful;  the Aberdour weather cam shows a bank of low cloud towards the East.... however we could get lucky if there’s a ‘hole’ in the cloud bank.    Actually, it looks like being a nice enough day....there’s a light breeze from the SE and .... the air feels slightly warmer.

08.30    It wasn’t the most exciting sunrise this morning;  however, if the weather forecast turns out as predicted it is a bonnier sunrise than we’ll have tomorrow morning.   As you’d expect at this time of the morning, the beach was quiet.... only myself and three dogs walking their ‘humans’.   It's a nice morning for being out actually.

Leven Golf Course.

19.30   I went to Leven to visit Alice.... and, after lunch Alice had to visit a friend to the Leven Beach Caravan Park, so we louped intae the car and went to Leven Beach.   Alice went off to visit her friend, and, as it was a gorgeous afternoon I had a walk round with the camera.   I didn’t find a way to access the actual beach until we were ready to go back to Alice’s.  So I have been a happy and busy boy today;  but I must remember to take a mono pod with me so that I can get really sharp photos of the raised beaches of Kincraig etc.

22.15   Having just seen Friday’s weather forecast (wet and windy) I’m thinkin’ tomorrow would be a good day to do some ‘ousework;  or hibernate until Saturday morning.   The early part of the morning might be reasonable....before the worst of the weather arrives; but I doubt if it will be biking weather.

The Ferry Road ‘oles are ready to be filled in tomorrow.   The ‘filling in’ team arrives


this morning but one of the ‘oles had still to be repaired, so they went off to another job.   The new bit of sewage pipe has now been done so it is all good for tomorrow; apart from the weather.  

I’ve enjoyed myself today.... and I’m well ready for the bedtime chocolate.    I’ll see what the weather is like at 06.00 tomorrow before deciding if I’ll go to the beach for sunrise.

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
