Breezy ....


8th January 2023 (Sunday)     07.15.... It’s still dark, though the southeastern sky is starting to lighten;  and it looks like being a bonnie day.  I have a couple of jerseys going through the machine just now so I’m looking a brisk breeze with sunny spells.  I’ll go for the paper after I hang the jerseys out on the line.

21.00    It was breezy when I went for the paper and;  and especially windy at the harbour;  however it was fine in my sheltered corner.   I thought about going onto the harbour beach but it would have meant wading through a whole load of seaweed so I abandoned that idea.   It would have been really windy on the beach anyway.   I went back home and put the kettle ‘on’.... before scanning the paper over morrrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee.


The woollen wash I’d hung out at 07.30 was dry by lunch time;  in fact I wish I’d washed the single bed  linen too;  however there will be other ‘drying days’... and tomorrow could be one of them.

The wind moderated in the afternoon and I had a run to the harbour at sunset time;  it wasn’t a spectacular sunset but there was a soothing look to it.   There was still a light breeze at the time,  but it wasn’t cold.  

Today Sky News has been letting us see just how some Members of Parliament can ‘supplement’ their salary (basic MP salary £84,144 plus expenses and perks) with second ‘jobs’.... and the second jobs aren’t paid in ‘peanuts’.   Furthermore... they are the people that have the audacity to say that we can’t afford to pay hard working people a living wage.   As far as I can see MP’s are in danger of being viewed as mistletoe growing on a host tree;  but less useful!   To rub salt in the wound someone  came on the programme  and defended their right to ‘second jobs’!   It’s time for the next Reformation!

As yet I have ‘nae plan’ for tomorrow  though I might get the bike out and take a


short run round the villages to discharge the battery.   I don’t think it’s going to be quite so breezy tomorrow.

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
