Bright and breezy ....

24th May 2023 (Wednesday)    08.00 .... If you are looking for fresh air this


morning we have loads to spare; it’s a bonnie morning, but there’s a frisky Westerly breeze bringing a degree or two of wind-chill with it.  A lovely morning for doing the Coastal Path so I might bike up to Chapel Green to have morning coffee .... once the air warms up a bit.   However, this is going to be mainly a drawing, catch up with the ‘ousework kind o’ day for me .... a ‘lazy’ day.

11.15   The breeze appears to be moderating so I’m going to get the bike out;  I have to go out today as the wind is veering to the Easterly direction tomorrow.... that’s not good.   We will have bonnie enough weather it’s just the drying Easterlies that I don’t like;  however I’ll see how it is on the day(s).

I have done some work this morning;  I fuelled up the car.... now I’m going to bike round The Ferry;  and maybe further.... depending on how I feel.   It’s a beautiful sunny day and it would be a pity to miss out on ‘play’ weather.

This bridge is 196 years old.

17.00    I forced myself  to go ‘out to play’.... I had a turn round The Ferry, then up to Kinneuchar for a general potter around that neck o’ the woods.   It is a beautiful day and my delicate epidermis feels sunburnt; stupidly I didn’t use the sun cream.                               This is when the countryside looks it’s best.... a multitude of fresh greens and colourful flowers.   The hawthorn hedges are especially bonnie and fragrant at this time.  All too soon the flowers die away and berries form to give us another kind of bonniness... the first steps of summer.   Yes .... I enjoyed my turn out on the bike today;  in fact I might go out in the evening to flatten then charge the battery, so that I have a full battery for my next sortie.

20.45    Change of ‘plan’;  I’ll flatten the bike battery  when I go for the paper tomorrow morrrrrrrrning, then charge it up ready for Friday morning.   This is the ‘Whit’ weekend so the villages are going to be busy; in fact, with the weather forecast being ‘good’ for the weekend they whole of the East Neuk will be busy. 

I ended up having a ‘lazy’ day after my biking session;  I fell asleep in the afternoon,


then watched an interesting film about an oak tree.   So I’ll be buzzin’ tomorrow to make up for the lack of effort today.   I wonder what Alice is doing tomorrow?

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
