Breezy .....

25th November 2022 (Friday)    07.00 .... It was spitting rain when I put

Robin Gray's cottage.

the green bucket out this morning; ‘strong winds and sunny intervals with a low chance of precipitation’ is the weather forecast, so it could be a bonnie enough day.  I don’t want rain if I’m pottering around Leven. 

20.00   There was a change o’ plan:  instead of pottering around the Bawbee Brig, Izzy (Alice’s daughter) picked me up from the garage and I spent the day with Izzy.   First thing, on leaving the garage, we took Alice to Kirkcaldy to catch the Edinburgh coach:  she was going to meet her granddaughter and husband in Edinburgh to go to the ballet at the Festival Theatre.    Izzy and I then went to Asda’s where Izzy did her weekly shopping and I browsed the prices.    We then went to Izzy and Alan’s house in Windygates where we had lunch and passed the time of day until it was time to go to the garage to pick up the car;  which was getting the bits fixed to get through its MOT.... and at a reasonable cost.   I am a happy bunny.


In Kirkcaldy Izzy, who is a nurse, went to check on Irene, her mother in law, and I went in and had coffee with them.   Irene is a lovely lady (a Kirkcaldy girl) and former teacher.   Alan (Izzy's husband) was having one of his motor bikes checked by another biker friend;  Alan is a Harley Davidson boy.

Although I had the camera with me I never used it all day;  too busy with other things.   So nae photographs today.... well not 'today' photos.

By the time I left the garage it was nearly dark so had to drive home in the dark;  the first time I’ve done this since before COVID.

21.30    I’m having an early night in bed;  and tomorrow is a ‘rest day’.   Alice and I are

Bank Street.

going to visit a mutual friend from Colinsburgh.   This will be a reminiscing session.  

“Thick cloud and a moderate breeze, with an increasing chance of precipitation in the afternoon” is our weather forecast.

We have three photos taken from the top deck of a ‘95’ bus a few years ago;  including one of the former Lundin Links Hotel.

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
