Lovely sunrise ....

8th October 2022 (Saturday)     09.15 ....We had a spectacular sunrise this


morrrrrrrrning;   not a good omen but awfie bonnie.   It was quiet on the beach, in fact I think the lassie from Turret Lodge and I were the only two on the beach at first.   There’s a cauld breeze from the NW so you have to wrap up well;  it will be warm once the sun is higher.  At long last I am feeling ‘almost bright eyed and bushy tailed’... another day and I’ll be back to normal.   I had hoped to go and see Alice this morning (before she goes on holiday) but I don’t want to give her this bug: it would spoil her holiday.   That said, it isn’t a particularly bad ‘cold’ just discomforting.



16.30    I’ve definitely been friskier today;  I did a wee bit o’ work and, as it has been a bonnie day, I’ve been to the beach twice.  Only to sit on a seat I hasten to add.... nae wanderin’ along the beach, or stuff like that.   The beach was busy;  right enough it was a lovely afternoon.... and we were all enjoying it.


 20.00   The forecast for tomorrow isn’t exciting.... just when I’m ready to frolic.   ‘Strong winds and heavy rain’ is the forecast but it might be not too bad first thing.   It’s not going to be a biking day.   I have a number of ‘projects’ ongoing so I’ll pick up on one of them.   Actually I think the ‘Ferry Lodge’ building work is going to be starting soon, so, with that being topical, I’ll work on my drawing of the back of the houses (as they were in 1947) that were demolished.   Yes that’s the plan for next week when Alice is away on holiday.   With me havin’ this cold I haven’t seen her since Tuesday.... I was at the Friendship Lunch on Wednesday, and the cold kicked in on Thursday.

I’m going to see if I can find anything to watch on the tele for the remainder of the

'Jura' - Fisheries Protection vessel.

evening....there’s bound to be something interesting to watch.   I know the Michael Portillo and his ‘Bradshaw’s train journeys are on.   I’ve seen them all before but they are interesting.... and there’s always something you missed the first time round.

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
