Bonnie fresh morning ....

16th May 2023 (Tuesday)      

08.00 .... there’s a nice fresh feeling in the air this
morning;  a good morning to be doing the Coastal Path.   Maggie and I did bits of the ‘CP’ but not the whole length;  it’s good to see that it is even more popular now;  and I get a lot o’ pleasure chatting to the CP walkers I meet at Chapel Green.    Changed routine for me now of course, but I’m happy with my more leisurely lifestyle:  that reminds me.... I must go up to Kinneuchar Kirk sometime today.   

12.00    It’s a nice day, but the breeze was cooler than I expected when I went up to Kinneuchar; it’s from the NW.   I got the photographs I needed and had a potter round the arches trying to sort everything out:  there’s the post Reformation ‘cleansing’ to contend with, followed by the building eventually being adapted for the new Protestant religion.

Although all ‘fired up’ when I got out of bed..... I then had a migraine, and that has  curtailed my activities.   I'll most likely fall asleep after lunch.


20.30    It has been a bonnie day but we did catch the edge of a couple o’ showers...and there were a lot of showers all around us so loads of interesting clouds to photograph.   Unfortunately I had my ‘wings clipped’ when  I had the migraine this morning:  there’s nae guid time to have migraine but first thing in the morning is the worst!   It didn’t stop me drawing... but I kept falling asleep;  and that did stop me drawing.

The ‘plan’ for tomorrow?....well ....I normally feel really good the day after a daytime migraine so I might catch up with some of the stuff I’d hoped to do today.   I might go out early (on the bike) for the paper (s) because the weather forecast is good;  ‘sunny intervals with a moderate breeze’ (Westerly direction).... in fact I might even do Elie Estate on the way home.   I’m assuming it is going to be reasonably warm first thing.

I’m tired after a reasonably active day so I’ll take a couple o’ pills and have and early


night in bed with my book.  The last few nights I have been sleeping right through;  that’s one thing I’m really good at.... sleeping.

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
