Beautiful morrrrrrrning ....

14th June 2023 (Wednesday)      07.30....We have a quiet and peaceful start to


the day: and I have been for the paper (in the car).... and ‘roond the Ferry’ on the bike, enjoying what is for me the best part of the day.    There was a bit of early morning mist but that is being burnt off and we should have a hot afternoon.    I had hoped for a clear photograph of the cruise ship ‘Viking Venus’ as she went up the Firth to Newhaven (Edinburgh).... but it was too misty for a clear photo.   However I got a few photos to play with.




20.45    It’s been a lovely, bright and sunny, day... and hot (24C) in the afternoon.   Too hot for me;  but I’m sure most folks would be enjoy the hot summer sun.   I’m enjoying early mornings.... a siesta in the afternoon and a potter around in the evening.

This morning I cleaned the windows;  with the window cleaning kit that Michael bought me.    It’s really effective;  and I’m now converting an old window cleaning thing to do the wee panes on the kitchen windows.   This saves me climbing the step ladders;  something that I am not too keen on nowadays.   There’s no doubt that COVID has been a life changer for many people.... including me.   We’ve just got to adapt.... hence the new way of cleaning the windows.

'Viking Venus' leaving the Firth.
I checked the bike gears by having a trial run round ‘The Ferry’ and they seem to be working OK:  I might try a longer run tomorrow.   

This morning I’d hoped to get a clear photo of ‘Viking Venus’ on her way up to Newhaven (Edinburgh) but it was too misty;  however it’s a lovely evening so I went to Nana’s Seat and  got a few of her leaving the Firth on her way to Kirkwall (Orkney).

I don’t have plan for tomorrow; I thought it was the Colinsburgh light lunch tomorrow but it’s the following Wednesday (21st).   The weather forecast for tomorrow is ‘more of the same’ so I’ll get up early, have ‘50’ during the heat of the day, and be active in the evening.

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
