Bright and sunny ....

14th March 2023 (Tuesday)     09.30....I’m feeling playful... and we have a


bright and sunny morning; ideal ‘play day weather.  It was -1C on the thermometer earlier but the sun is up and the temperature with it.   I have a washing going through the machine, and have the office shelf to sort out so ‘playing’ won’t happen until after lunch. 

20.45    The gritter has been round so the ‘Cooncil’ must be expecting frost tonight:  the sky is clear so it’s s good night for star gazing.   It should be a bonnie, if slightly cool, day tomorrow.


I went up to Kinneuchar to enjoy the sunshine for a while:  I planned to go round the marsh, but I’d forgotten that it had been raining yesterday so I found it flooded and I didn’t have wellies with me.  I’ll tackle the marsh in a few weeks.

Good progress has been made with the office.... but I have a few individual Folders to sort out but that can be done any time.   I must have made a clearance because I now have a few feet of empty shelf space.   I’ll soon find stuff to store on it:  but that won’t be tomorrow as I’m taking a ‘day out’ .... I need a ‘play day’, and the weather forecast is good for tomorrow:  but wet and windy  on Thursday.   So tomorrow is the ‘play day’.   The car goes in for a service on Thursday so that will be another ‘rest day’;  annoying Alice.

On the way home from Kinneuchar I visited the harbour;  there was an interesting sky


and a big beach (the tide was out) so I was a ‘happy bunny’:  and well pleased with the photographs I got.   In fact I’m going to ‘play with them after this update.

The villages seemed busy when I was out in the car today.... but then the East Neuk roads are always busy nowadays.   And there’s always someone in a hurry.

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

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
