Peaceful morning .....

17th April 2023 (Monday)    07.30....The thermometer is at 11C already on an


overcast balmy morning.   The weather forecast for KY9 is ....nae  pause (I’m fed up o’ those (stupid) long pauses)....’light cloud with a moderate breeze from the ENE’.   With  low cloud drifting in from the North Sea we’ll be lucky if we get sunny spells’ today;  however it’s a bonnie morning in a non sunny kind of way.  

09.00    I’m feeling playful this morning.... and will take a turn round the village after breakfast;  I’d go further but the battery on the bike is ‘low’, it will be put on charge after aforementioned trip round The Ferry.   To be honest I sort of expected to feel ....wellll .. not playful today, after having the booster jab on Saturday.  I’m a ‘happy boy’. 


14.30    I’m even happier now;  I remembered that it was Monday and ‘Crane In’ at the harbour... and it was a perfect day for it.... nae wind and nae rain.   The harbour is now ‘alive’ and ready for another season.   I had a run up to Chapel Green  on the way home.   I have also been drawing, but that abandoned that ‘plan’ when I remembered it was ‘Crane In’:  I’ll get back to the drawing after I have a cuppa.






20.30    After ‘Crane In’ I did a bit more drawing but faded a bit and have spent most of the afternoon dozing off and on in front of the tele. Having said that I have been much more active than I expected to be today;  mind you, the fact that there was activity at the harbour got me into ‘flap on’ state... and on the bike, with the camera, in ‘nae time’.   However I think tomorrow is going to be a ‘drawing’ day.... with no ‘diversions: I had to take a couple o’ paracetamol for a headache that’s come on.

The sky became heavily overcast in the afternoon and the onshore breeze took a couple


of degrees off the temperature.   That will also be the case for the next few days;  the place to be is on the West coast.

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
