Feeling spritely....

6th March 2023 (Monday)   07.30.... Hmmmmm.... it’s cold this morning, and


we’ve had a shower of rain overnight but, so far, there’s no snow;  in fact there’s no snow to be seen on any of the Fife Weather cams.   At the moment the sky is overcast but that should break up to give us ‘sunny intervals with a moderate breeze’.   It’s a good day for working with books.

15.00    My word; it’s a bonnie, sunny and warm, day... as long as you are sheltered from the brisk wind.   I actually considered going out on the bike but doing that would be stupid so soon after the ‘flu. I will have a walk to the beach in a wee while.

The car didn’t get picked up this morning (a mix up with communication) so I have organised for it to be serviced next Thursday (16th) at Leven Fife Auto.   I have been using Leven Fife Auto for 30+ years and only started to use the St Andrews branch during COVID.    I’ll spend the day doing tapestry up at Alice’s.   I went to the Leven this morning to organise the car, do a bit o’ shopping and have a cuppa with Alice.


I couldn’t believe my eyes when I got to the outskirts of Leven:  temporary traffic lights were being set up to accommodate roadworks on the Largo Road 100 metres East of the Scoonie Brae roundabout.   ‘Practice makes perfect’....sometime they’ll get whatever they are doing right.   

21.30   The first batch of concrete was poured at ‘Earls Lodge’ this morning; this is exciting progress.   Instead of digging trenches, the trenches are now starting to be filled.  They are an impressive, and efficient, team of workmen.

The bookcase shelves are all in place; in fact the books are back on the top two shelves.   The bottom two will be finished tomorrow morning.

It was too cold for me to wander to the beach at sunset time, so I had a run down to the


harbour.   The first thing you notice at the harbour is scaffolding in place on the North end of the granary.  It looks like there’s going to be a lot of work happening to the top flat.

Tomorrow is going to be another ‘bright, breezy and cold’ day;  a bonnie day to be out as long as you have plenty layers on.   It was pleasant today when sheltered from the wind.

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
