Quiet morrrrrrrrrrrrning ....

3rd May 2023 (Wednesday)    08.00.... the Fife Weather cams are mostly


showing an overcast sky.... but there are promising signs on the Kinghorn camera.    Just now we have a calm peaceful morning;  yes, the sky is overcast, but there’s only a light breeze so nae wind chill to bother about .... and I’m expecting sunny spells by lunch time.  If I thought it would work I’d skip breakfast and have an early lunch!   It is a nice morning ....and the air feels warm;  I might have a wander to the beach before the wind freshens.

10.00    The tide was out and the sun breaking through as I enjoyed a slow wander along to the Cockstail Rocks then up to the bents, where I met Angela, out for a morning walk with Alfie.   Angela and I caught up with each other’s ‘news, then went our separate ways home, for breakfast.    It is warm and I was wrapped up ready for a cold snap;  the cold snap never came and I ended up swe ... er ... perspiring.   I’ve had breakfast.... now I’m thinkin’ morning coffee!


21.00    It’s been a pleasant day.... especially the morning.   The onshore breeze freshened after lunch and took a couple o’ degrees off the temperature.... but I was in the Hutte and well out of any breeze.

I am looking forward to watching the Coronation on Saturday;  I’m going along to Alice’s to watch it on her big screen tele.  Oh I know all the talk about the money being spent on the Coronation could be better spent elsewhere: personally I think the money we spend on Trident could be better spent elsewhere ....and .... I can’t think of a single politician that I’d like to be President of the UK.  Actually I have thought of one politician that I’d like as our President....Jacinda Ahern.   Unfortunately she is a New Zealander!   Anyway I am looking forward to Saturday (yes I am a Royalist); no country can do pomp and pageantry like the good old UK.   Alice and I have our Union Flag plates and mugs etc.... and Elderflower fizzy stuff (non alcoholic).  We will enjoy watching an historic event. 

It’s going to be cloudier and windier tomorrow.... but no mention of precipitation.   ‘The


Team’ (Kirsty, Myra and me) are going to the 19th for lunch tomorrow..... Geoff would have been 80 this month.

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
