Bright and breezy ....

1st October 2022 (Saturday)      08.30 ....we had a bonnie sunrise to begin a


bright and breezy day, but there is the chance of light showers later.... and there’s a frisky wind but not nearly as frisky as it was yesterday.    The beach was quiet this morning.... in fact I was the only one on it as far as I could see;  no dogs walking their humans, which was unusual for morning time.





20.00   It has been a good day for being out with the camera;  slightly breezy right enough.....so cauld on the lugs, but very enjoyable.   There was a bonnie light’ about, so, after breakfast I went for the paper and had a run down to the harbour, stopping at the Toft on the way home.  Alice phoned with a ‘plan’ so I louped intae the car to get her, and we took a quick trip to Anstruther.   The wind was fresh so we didn’t hang around;  we drove home to Ivy via the back roads.... and had lunch;  followed by a cuppa and blether in The Hutte.    I then took Alice back home .... where we had another cuppa before I bumbled my way back to The Royal Burrow.


The Ferry Road ‘oles haven’t been filled in yet so the car is moored up at St Margaret’s.   It will probably be Monday before the ‘oles and done, and Ferry Road back to normal.   




22.00    There’s nae ‘plan’ for tomorrow so far;  however the weather forecast is good so I might go out on the bike ...and the bike battery is fully charged. 

I saw the News earlier, and have decided that I shall always have the buttons in my hand when watching the News in future:..... I think ‘that woman’ (Truss) is the most deceitful looking female I have ever seen (on TV)....(apologies to anyone who thinks otherwise).  I will never mention her again.

This has been a happy day;  the light was excellent for photographs, Alice made

Anstruther Wester kirk.

individual sized strawberry cheesecakes... and they are totally absolutely scrumptious:  I’d just “line ‘em up”.   Strawberries are fruit so one cheesecake = one of the recommended ‘five a day’.   I’ll be buying the ingredients the next time I’m shopping!   Yes.... I’d say that this has been an excellent day.   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

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
