Cold ....

11th December 2022 (Sunday)    08.00.... there’s a cold air but it’s not quite


frosty:  and I’ve fed ‘Blob’ , who was happily twittering away on top of the Rowan tree.   I might go to the beach after this update.... but I’ll check the Fife Weather cams first to see if there’s going to be a visible sunrise... and to check what the clouds situation is.  If I don’t go to the beach it will be down to the harbour (in the car) when I go for the paper.

10.00    The paper has been uplifted  and the harbour checked;  I can say that “all is good” (except that it’s cauld on the lugs).   The team in the ‘paper shop’ is operating at optimum efficiency and I was the only one at the harbour.   The sky has cleared since then and we now have a ‘sunny but cold morning’;  I might go to the beach later.   However, the main ‘plan’,  for today, is to write Christmas cards.   I’m now going have ‘morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee’.


15.00   Instead of going to the beach I had a change of direction and took a daunder up to the Pony Field and golf course.   It was pleasantly warm (I was well wrapped up) in the sunshine, but I was glad to get off the road, as there was ice on both road and pavement, where the sun hadn’t reached.   It was a nice afternoon for a slow stroll.   I’ve organised the Christmas cards and the Christmas card list;   I will start writing them this evening.





18.30    I’ve had food.... now I am going to settle down in front of the tele and write the Christmas cards that have to be posted.   I will also do one for all my friends on FB because we can’t rely on the postal service just now.    Tricky time for choosing to have strikes;  can’t help but think it will backfire.   Most people are connected electronically


now so posting Christmas Cards will soon be a ‘thing of the past’.   Orf to put the kettle ‘on’ then find something to watch while writing the cards.

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
