Beautiful morrrrrrrrrrrrning .....

16th June 2023 (Friday)    08.45..... It’s another lovely morning .... it’s already

Ye Gods ... it will soon be harvest time!

warm and sunny, with  a hot afternoon to come.    On hot days the onshore breeze  is welcome;  the pollution from the continent isn’t.   Myra and I are going to Dorothy’s (Mennie) for morning coffee so I haven’t been ‘out and about’ yet.   I might try for the beach after this update.





16.30   I’ve just woken up after a long siesta; and I actually I feel quite playful now.   As planned Myra and I went to Dorothy’s for morning coffee and had a good old catch up with each other’s, and local, news.  After an enjoyable hour and a bit of chatting (and sipping coffee) we have decided to meet up once a month to keep in touch.  Face to face ‘keeping in touch’ conversations are very important, especially in the COVID aftermath... and especially so for ....er ... not so young folks.


The ‘warm and sunny morning’ morphed into a hot and sunny afternoon, as has happened for the past few days;  and I go into rest mode as has happened for the past few days.   I am beginning to liven up now that the wind had freshened and the air has cooled.   Pollution levels are at ‘M’ (Medium).









19.38   What is it with Boris and Donald (Trump) that makes them think the world can’t operate without them?   When I was young (a few years ago now) I thought of politicians as important and respectable people.... alongside Doctors, Teachers, Nurses, Policemen etc:  now I don’t.   Sadly the impression I have now is that most of them (politicians) are just people having a good time at the taxpayers’ expense.   In fact one Conservative  (I forget who it was) commented today that they hoped Boris would use his (new) column in the Daily Mail to benefit the ‘Conservative Party and the country’.   And that says it all about the present brand of Conservative MPs:  they’re in power to benefit “Party, self, investors, friends (not necessarily in that order) ... and ... oh , I’m sure there’s
Chapel Green from Dorothy's flat.

something else? ... oh ....country”.   Oh... apologies to anyone who I might have upset.... but I feel better!   We need politicians who think “Planet, People and Future”.... not the self self self of Party politics.   We’ll just have to put up with (and not listen to) the Boris’s and Donald’s of the world.  Oops.... ‘Blob’ (robin) is looking for food!   I’m a happy boy again.



22.00   This has been another bonnie day....even I am enjoying the sunny weather in spite of the hot afternoons; and I can be active before and after the ‘heat of the day’.   Tomorrow is forecast to be another warm and sunny day.... though perhaps a little bit cooler than it was today.   I might get up early and take a longer turn round the villages on the bike....to see how the gears are working:  right now it’s time for bed after a happy and enjoyable 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
