Bonnie morrrrrrrrrrrrrrrning ....

5th February 2023 (Sunday)    09305.... There was a light touch of frost this


morrrrrrrrning...it is definitely cooler that it has been for the past few days:  but it’s a bonnie start to the day, and I was on the beach to catch the sunrise.   The beach was quiet with only me and a dog out exercising its owner.   It’s a bonnie morning and I hope to get out on the bike once the sun is higher... and the air warmer.   It’s a ‘play day’.



16.45    Despite the cool air the villages have been busy;  the Coastal Path seemed to be popular today.   When I went for the paper a group of walkers were getting boots and rucksacks out of cars for a day on the Coastal Path.   It doesn’t seem long ago since Maggie and me were doing that .   It has been a good day for walking.


I didn’t do any more walking after the beach this morning;..... and I didn’t go out on the bike.   What I did do was hang the shed door that blew off in a gale a few weeks ago. That was a tricky jo (for me) and, between doing that and making sure that I was taking in plenty liquids, it took  a couple of hours.  ’Blob’ was on permanent mooch mode so I had him to contend with.    The door is back where it should be, and the hinges oiled, so everything is working smoothly. 

22.30    I’m tired after a reasonably active day;  the ‘plan’ is the do a bit more to the


garden tomorrow assuming the weather is OK.  I saw the weather forecast earlier and it’s going to be much the same as today.... but not as cold.  It’s the ‘broon’ bucket next Friday (10th) so I can fill it tae the gunnels wi’ garden rubbish.   I intend to take time out on the bike around the middle of the day.

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
