Sunny (and dry) ....

16th November 2022 (Wednesday)     09.00.... we have a lovely start to the


day;  the sun is drying off yesterday’s rain, and although the air is chillier, there’s only a light breeze, so I might go out on the bike later.... once the air warms up   I’ve been for the paper in the car (I have a tank full of fuel to burn off before next Thursday (24th).... the MOT doesn’t expire until 25th) .... and visited the harbour.


The boys unearthed a Victorian stone ware pot (jar) when excavating the space for the new build.... I’ll wash and photograph it.    The amazing thing is that, it is whole.

17.00   I don’t know what was in the air today but it clobbered the auld breathin’ tubes;  it’s a while since I’ve had a few hours like I had in the middle of the day.   Anyway I’m fine now; and I had a turn up to Chapel Green in the the afternoon (after things had calmed down) and enjoyed being out on the bike for a change.    It was warm in the sunshine, as long as you were sheltered from the SE wind.


21.30    Work continues at the new build on the Chapel Green House site; and the ‘new’ build on the Four Winds site ... and  are both looking more like houses than building sites.   I got a few photos of ‘Four Winds’ site today but the Chapel Green house had a lot of vehicles around the turning point so I didn’t stop.    ‘Katherine Bank’ also has a lot going on... as does ‘White Cottage’.   But, as you’d guess, the action at Ferry Lodge is the most interesting for me.  I couldn’t ask for anything more than living on the edge of a building site with a camera.    I’m a happy boy.

I’ve been out to shut the front gate and was surprised to discover that it’s raining... heavily.   The weather forecast for us tomorrow is ..... (3 and a half minutes pause) .... ‘heavy rain and a moderate breeze’:  the ingredients for a bad hair day!

I missed both the History Society coffee morning at the ‘Pav’, and the ‘Lite Bite Lunch’

The new 'Four Winds'.

at Colinsburgh today; that was when my asthma was bothering me.   I don’t suppose I’ll ever know what brings an asthma spell on but something does... and it happens suddenly.    It wasn't the machine working in the Ferry Lodge garden 'cos the wind was blowing any fumes from that source away, towards the Northwest.   And it isn't working continually.... so definitely not that.

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
