Warm ... 12C.....

17th March 2023 (Friday) ..... “ St Patrick’s Day” ... have an enjoyable one wherever you are.

09.00.... The first thing I noticed when I stepped out this morning was how warm it is...


12C on the thermometer.   It’s a balmy morning with only a light breeze and .... sunny spells;  also a ‘low chance of precipitation in the way of light showers’ later.   A bonnie morning ... I might take the bike out if the showers miss us.

14.30    It’s a warm, balmy day and I have been busy.   After picking the paper, I continued on to ‘The Store’ (Anstruther) and did a wee shopping... ‘wee’ in quantity.... big on cost.  Considering the time I was surprised to find ‘The Store’ busy.    Anyway I did the shopping and came home by the ‘back’ road (Kellie Castle), where I was held up by temporary traffic lights at the end of the Colinsburgh Straight;  that bit has been needing patched for a while.    I arrived home at morning coffee time;  which was handy ‘cos I’d bought Coffee Buns.   After putting the messages away I enjoyed coffee and a bun.


With it being a nice day I decided to do the kitchen, bathroom and lobby floors.... not my favourite job but one that has to be done.   However I took ‘time out’ before doing the floors, and biked up to Chapel Green.   

I enjoyed my run up to Chapel Green, but felt slightly guilty when sitting on Maggie’s Seat, so didn’t hang around too long.   The floors had to be done!   And they have been so I can relax with a cuppa and a bit o’ Cherry Cake.

19.30   It has been a gorgeous day;  Blob has been twittering so he’s ‘in love’, the Wood Pigeons are starting get amorous, and my daffy down dillies have opened;   Spring is


coming.   Mind you this is March and we could have some cold weather yet.   We have light rain at the moment... and have had for a wee while.

As usual I am tired after an enjoyable day.   Iain and Jackie are arriving early tomorrow morrrning so I’ll go to bed fairly early and read a bit more of my book.

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
