Bright and breezy ....

30th October 2022 (Sunday)    08.30.... we had a beautiful sky at sunrise time


(07.15), on a bright and breezy morning, with loads o’ fresh air on a beach busy with dogs walking their humans.   It’s bonnie morning for being out... and not cold considering the time of year and the friskiness of the wind.





19.15    The autumnal clock change seems to upset my body clock much more than the Spring one;  I hardly notice any difference with it (the Spring change).    (At least this year I am not working on Ivy Cottage time for a couple of days... as I have been known to do;  my clocks were all changed on Friday.


I’ve been an active boy today.... having gone out on the bike after morning coffee ... the first time I’ve been for a reasonable bike run for a few days;   only as far as Kinneuchar Station then home by Elie Estate and the villages.   Not a great distance in miles but an hour in time with the camera;  I was taking autumnal shots.  I’d planned to do things after lunch but fell sound asleep in front of the tele;  “the best laid schemes o’ mice men and Alberto gang aft agley” right enough.




21.00     ‘Country File’ was different tonight... an art project on the four highest mountains of the four countries of the UK;   and really brilliantly done.  It was done by loads of folk, moving around carrying lamps at gloamin’ time, on the four sites and filmed with static cameras and drones.   I’ve never seen anything like it before; it’s amazing the ideas that some people come up with.  The finished film lasted 15 minutes; and was very enjoyable.

This unsettled spell of weather dictates everything I/we do just now;  I might get out on


the bike again tomorrow as the weather is much the same as today’s was.  Wednesday looks like being the worst day of the week, Thursday and Friday the best.   But that can change.  

Will the ‘hole’ on Ferry Road get its finishing coat of tar macadam tomorrow:  I’m feeling positive and will say “yes it will”;  but... I could be wrong.

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
