Lovely morning ....

25th June 2023 (Sunday)    09.00....  There’s a bit of cloud around and the air is


definitely cooler;  in fact its comfortably cool after yesterday’s heat.    I’ve been for the paper, and visited the harbour... and hung out a washing.   I’m now wondering if I should to go to the Vintage Rally:  I’ll phone Alice after I make a cuppa and have breakfast.




19.00    Alice was happy to go to the Vintage Rally at the Fife Heritage Railway (Kirkland Yard):  so I louped intae the car and was in Methil before the kettle had boiled.   We had a cuppa, then we both louped intae the car, and were at the Fife Heritage Site in ‘nae time’.  We had no problem mooring up the car and didn’t have too far to walk to the entrance.  There was a big and varied selection of vehicles on display with owners willing to chat about their ‘loved ones’... some even mentioned their wives.  It was a bit humid and hot by the time we got round tall the exhibits.... and my knee was not in a good mood.  We found a stall that was handing out water, and other freebees (the

Network Rail stand) and even found a seat to give the old knee bone a rest.  We finished ambling round the rally but my knee was troublesome so we didn’t go the actual Rail Heritage bit.  We went back to Alice’s and had a cuppa, during the consuming of which I decided that I’d go back to the vintage rally to see if Graham had arrived with the vintage PO van.   Alice was happy to go back with me so we did that.... but no PO van.   Unbeknown to me Graham had the van down at the Heritage Railway site;  which we didn’t visit because of my sair knee.  Alice and I went back ‘home’ (Alice’s home) where we had another cuppa before I set off home:  I was back in Ivy by 14.00 and asleep about 20 minutes later.

22.15   The thunderstorms, that were forecast for Fife, meandered their way up the North Sea;  so... though we did have rain (much needed) in the afternoon, we didn’t have the noise.  

I will be glad when I get my bike back;  it’s because I’m ‘walking’ more that my knee is

'Green Goddess' fire engine.

bothering me.   Tomorrow I am going to ‘work’ on my Kinneuchar kirk project;  a sort of ‘rest’ day:  ‘sunny with a fresh breeze is the forecast’, so a good day for getting things done.

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
