Nice fresh morning .....

24th August 2023 (Thursday)     08.30 .... the  light rain we had overnight


 has cleared away to give us a bonnie morning, albeit with a cool  Autumn morning air.    ‘Sunny intervals with a moderate breeze’ is today’s weather forecast for KY9.... with the slight chance of a shower in the afternoon; a good ‘drying day’.   It was raining when I first looked out so I haven’t been out on the bike yet; I’ll leave that until the afternoon now.  

21.00    On my way to Alice’s this morning I thought that we’d have a wander to Leven Beach:  two things stopped that happening .... the tide was in and Alice has a sair knee.   We had a cuppa and chatted about knees .... I did my best to cheer her up by talking of knee replacement.   That didn’t seem to work!   No... Alice probably has a sair knee because she was at an afternoon disco with the ‘special needs’ folks that she cared for before she retired.   She still keeps, not only in touch, but still helps them when required.  She is a happy girl is Alice.


Although this has been a bonnie day.... there was something in the air that didn’t agree with my breathing so I never went out on the bike.   I watched the World Championships and did some drawing instead so Thursday has been a busy and happy day for ‘the boy’.

I’ve been taking photographs of Chapel Green since the work on Chapel Green House was finished;  and uploaded some of them onto my FB page.... and the Elie and Earlsferry photos page, bringing ‘mixed’ comments.   What do I think?    Yes I liked the ‘old’ Chapel Green House....but I also like the ‘new ‘Chapel Green House.   Yes, it’s modern and completely ‘different’ from its predecessor....and, unless someone tells me different, it is also unique to the whole of the East Neuk because of the ‘stone’ walls (slate in fact).  

There is no doubt that the East Neuk is changing... and changing at a faster rate than


ever.   Houses don’t bother me to much ....it’s demographic change I worry about.    

Tomorrow is going to be another day of ‘mixed’ weather....‘light rain showers and a gentle breeze’.   I like gentle.   This apparently is a holiday weekend;  so I imagine the road will be busy;  they were today!

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
