Lovely morning ....

9th December 2022 (Friday)     10.30 .... welll... for the first time in  almost


two weeks I’ve managed to go to the beach;  I’m not quite ‘bright eyed and bushy tailed’ but I am feeling beginning to feel mair playful.   I enjoyed the fresh beach air.... and chatting to Andrew who was out with the dog;  and I got some bonnie sunrise time photographs to play with.   Oh.... it’s a lovely morning and not quite as cold as it has been, though there was a light touch of early morning frost.   I think I’ll put the kettle ‘on’.




16.00    It has been a ‘bright and sunny day’ (and slightly cold) and I have enjoyed it.    I wouldn’t say that I was ‘100%  bright eyed and bushy tailed’, but  I am feeling more positive and playful.    After an early morning coffee I went up to the ‘Paper Shop’, and instead of going to the harbour I went to ‘The Store’ to top up with vital necessities for the weekend:  In other words...things I forgot to get the other day.   Apart from having to negotiate the tank trap style potholes , across the road at St Monans, I enjoyed the journey.   

I don’t remember that last time I met someone I knew in ‘The Store’; but, both the shop and the car park were busy:  It was almost like being in Tesco’s car park in Uckfield.   That reminds me; Sunny Sussex is going to have a harder frost than us tonight:  we’re forecast to be -2C.... Sunny Sussex -5C.




18.15     Well... I’ve had a better an enjoyable day, but not yet feeling clear of this ‘under the weather’ feeling.    Tomorrow’s ‘plan’ is to try to get back into my normal routine by going to the beach at sunrise time.   This depends on the weather:   the forecast for KY9 is.... (25 minute pause) .... is ....“sleet showers and a moderate breeze”.   I’m not keen on the sleet showers, but like the clouds; as long as they are somewhere else...but within range of the camera.

I forgot about the Royal Mail being on strike;  this means my SSAFA Christmas cards


will arrive ‘sometime’ soon.   I’ll write the ones for posting and get them away at the weekend.

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
