Lovely sunrise sky ....

19th January 2023 (Thursday)    08.15....We have a bonnie start to the day...


but it’s cold (-2C).... with a light breeze.   I hung out a washing, which was frozen stiff before I’d finished (as were my fingers).   Once the sun gets going the washing should defrost and dry:  that’s the theory anyway.   I’ll go for a paper after breakfast.... and after the sun has shifted the rime off the car windscreen!




21.15   It has been bitterly cauld all day.... but my bed linen dried so I ain’t complainin’.    Well ... that’s no’ true;  I am complainin’.... I’m not overly fond the cold weather.

I’ve had one busy day.   After going to Elie for the paper I went to Leven to visit Alice, and, after a cuppa we went to the ‘Cheap Shop’ to do some shopping.   The ‘Bargain Store’ (or ‘Cheap Shop’ as I call it) is well named and definitely helps to bring the cost of living down a bit.   ‘B & M (Leven) is expanding into the former Argos site; when that is done it will be about the same size as the Glenrothes (B & M) store.   Levenmouth has


always had shops that were not in the ‘Rip Off Britain’ league.   After a bowl of soup at Alice’s I came home and had loads of time to go to the ‘Drop in Cafe’ in the kirk hall.   Honor was telling me that Jock was busy making a steak and kidney pie for dinner.  Honor is so lucky having  Jock (sometimes John) spoiling her all the time!

On leaving the ‘Drop In Cafe’ I went to the harbour then up to Kinneuchar to get a few sundown time photographs.   I was glad to get back home and get the kettle ‘on’.

Having gulped down the aforementioned cuppa I made another one and then set about


making a small batch of Cottage Pies for the freezer.   That has been done and they are cooling off as I type.

‘Nae plan’ for tomorrow;  but, if the sky we had at sunset is anything to go by, we should have a bonnie day, albeit a cold one again.   I think I’ll have a ‘rest day’ tomorrow.

Overcast with light rain .....

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
