Calm kind of mornin'....

14th May 2023 (Sunday)      09.00 .... We have a bonnie morning .... a good


mornin’ for doing the Coastal Path;  so I went down to the beach!   Actually I was standing at the back door when 6 swans flew over.... and they were in landing mode,  so I went down to see if I could get a photograph.   I got a photo but the tide was well out ... and so were they.  I see that the builders have arrived  at Ferry Lodge;  at the speed they work I imagine the walls will be done ‘in nae time’.  “Flap on” mode has kicked in; I need an early morning coffee.



21.00     Although I’ve been in ‘slight flap on state’ most of the day I have actually enjoyed myself:  mostly sitting in The Hutte with the pencils.   I went for the paper.... in the car ‘cos I thought it was a bit iffy for me on the bike.   The builders are making good progress next door; they’ll probably have a house built, before I finish all the drawings I need.    Mind you I bought the Sunday Post today, so had a few breaks to do some reading.... so it wasn’t all ‘work’.  


Tomorrow is Alice’s birthday so I must go along to Methil and ‘annoy’ her on her especial day.  We had intended going to Dysart.... well I had intended that we go to Dysart... but the Harbour Master’s House doesn’t ‘open’ until 11.00 and we need to be back at Alice’s by midday.   Dysart and the Harbour Masters House will do for another day.

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
