Peaceful morning ....

16th April 2023 (Sunday)    10.00 .... we have one of those peaceful Elie and


Earlsferry mornings;   there’s only a light breeze and it’s warm and humid.... in fact I had to put the camera away when we had some spits and spots o’ rain.   Nothing to bother about.... and it should be a bonnie day with ‘sunny spells by mid morrrrrrrrning.

I went for the paper, in the car because of the threat of light showers, but intend going out on the bike later.  It’s time for breakfast and morrrning coffee.   At the moment I have no effects from the ‘jab’.... though I expect I’ll be sleepy in the afternoon.   

11.00 The ‘plan’ is to go out on the bike after morrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee.... not too far yet but further than I have been doing over the winter.   I’d like to make it to Balcarres next week sometime.  I managed a hirple to the beach this morning so the sair knee is slowly recovering.


19.38 (that was a good year).    When I went up to Chapel Green on the bike (after morrrrning coffee) I was well wrapped up;  but I needn’t have bothered .... it was too warm and I had to discard the scarf.   However I enjoyed the short run meeting various folks on the way round.   I have been busier than I expected to be on the first day after the booster ‘jab’;  having said that it is normally on the second day that I have mild after effects.... a slight headache etc.   Alistair and Barbara are recovering from COVID at present,  so the ‘bug’ is still active in the community.

It has been a bonnie day for the camera and I have a number of photos to ‘play’ with after this update.   There was a bonnie ‘light’ about today.

Tomorrows 'plan is going to be a sort of ‘rest day’ working on the


Kinneuchar kirk drawing ....accompanied by numerous cuppas.   ‘Light cloud and a moderate breeze’ is the forecast.... the ‘moderate breeze being from the Easterly direction.  I might go out on the bike early (before the breeze freshens) but only if I’m feeling ‘frightfully frisky’;  the main ‘plan’ is to ensconce myself in The Hutte to draw.

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
