Lovely morning ....

23rd August 2023 (Wednesday)      08.30 ....  We have an almost wall to wall

Mr 'B' on Sundance.

blue sky, with only a light breeze; a lovely start to the day.... and a perfect day for ‘gaun oot tae play’.   I am in “slight flap on” mode; today's mission being a trip to Leven (shopping) after breakfast.... and another cuppa.

19.15    The shopping mission was reasonably enjoyable.... there was a pre-COVID ‘retail therapy’ feel about it.  I got everything I wanted .... and some things I ‘wanted’ but did really need.  ‘Goodies’!    I couldn’t go to Alice’s as she was going out in the morrrrrning;  I had morning coffee at home.

After putting the messages away I watched the World Championships while having the aforementioned ‘morrrrning coffee, before doing some ‘work’.   I’m pleased with the way the Kinneuchar Project is coming along, and enjoying being useful (to myself) again.

the 'new' Chapel Green House.

In the evening I went up to Chapel Green to get a few photos of the green from Maggie’s seat.... and other viewpoints.... now that work on the ‘Chapel Green House’ site is finished... for my archive.  The only noticeable change is of course the new ‘Chapel green House’.   I got round to thinking while sitting on Maggie’s Seat that someone might take a photo from Maggie’s Seat (if it’s still there) in a hundred years and the photo will look more or less the same as the one I took this evening.   I have put one of the old Chapel Green House that has been photographed for the past hundred years.

I spotted Mr ‘B’ out on Sundance.... and ‘Sundance’ has a new set of sails.   When I think about it this was a good evening for a sail;  Steve  (Mr ‘B’) was pottering around the harbour area when I saw him, but I imagine he would go out into the Firth once he got the sails up.

22.30    I’m well ready for bed tonight after a busy and satisfying day.   Tomorrow I’m

The 'old' Chapel Green House.

going to Methil to ‘annoy’ Alice; I’ve done the shopping so we won’t have to do that.... Alice does her main shopping of Friday with her daughter Karen.

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
