Fresh breeze....

15th October 2022 (Saturday)    08.30 ....There was never going to be a


brilliant sunrise this morning, but there was plenty fresh air on the beach and I enjoyed that.   The breeze is from the SSE, with spits o’ rain now and again, but I think we are supposed to have sunny spells with light showers later.   Must ‘go’; slight flap on this morrrning.   I’ll have another cuppa before flapping off to B n Q’s.

Did I say that I was wanting a good drying day?.... I don't think I'm going to get it!



19.30    B n Q’s was a failed mission;  they don’t cut sheet ply to size.... I think Kirkcaldy is the nearest where they do that and I wasn’t in the mood for Kirkcaldy.   Instead I went and had a cuppa, a blether, then lunch with Alice, before going to Leven beach where Alice visited her friend, in one of the residential caravans, and I went for a walk on the beach.  The tide was out and there was one huge beach stretching all the way to Lower Largo.

On the way home I got caught in the roadworks at Leven; that road get’s dug up on a regular basis.... and it’s annoying.  I’ve no doubt that, like every time its dug up, this will be vital.

21.30    I’ve been watching an interesting programme about ‘Stonehenge’ (narrated by Rob Bell) this evening.  ‘JB’ and I visited Stonehenge a few years ago and being so close to such a massive monument, created by our ancestors 5000 years ago, was  awesome.... and bewildering.   The archaeologists keep finding ‘new’ bits to the whole complex, but they can’t solve the mystery of ‘why’ our ancestors built it.   Fascinating programme.

Tomorrow is going to be a ‘rest day, with me working around Ivy;  but I will take time out on the bike if it isn’t too cold and windy.   The forecast is ‘sunny with strong winds’;  so it will feel cold.    At least the washing will dry!     I say ‘working’ but that could mean anything;  and whatever it is it won’t be strenuous!   I mean.... lifting a pencil to do a Sudoku is classed as ‘working’.

I have chocolate to make before sorting out a few photographs I took of Leven beach this afternoon.

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
