Nice morning .....

19th August 2023 (Saturday)     09.30 .... It’s a nice morning; sunny spells

Tour group at Chapel Green.

with a fresh easterly breeze..... but cool for the middle of August.    I haven’t been for the paper... for some reason Ferry Road was busy at ‘my time’ so I decided to go out later in the afternoon.... after the traffic settles down.    When I first looked out (05.00) it was raining and went bad to bed, eventually getting ‘up’ at 06.30.   Since then I have been busy with.... ‘ousework, breakfast, and multiple cuppas;  now I am ready to go to Methil and annoy Alice.

20.00    Alice made a really tasty chicken salad for lunch;  it was the way she did the bits of chicken that made it so tasty;  (there’s not much you can do with ‘green stuff’ to make it tasty).   I’ll buy the appropriate bits of chicken (not breasts... smaller bits than that) and have a go sometime this week. 

I haven’t been the most active person today;  even along at Methil I wanted to catnap.  Last night I was restless in bed because of the temperature, and that must have made me tired.   When I got back home I fired up the tele to watch the World Championship Athletics from Budapest... and fell sound asleep.   I’m feeling in the mood to go out to play now but will leave that until tomorrow morrrrrrrrrrrning.   The weather forecast is good for tomorrow so I should get ‘up and out’ early.   I’ve seen a lot of new holiday makers wandering around this evening so the villages are busy with new visitors to chat to. 

West Lodge... Balcarres estate.

21.00   I’d planned to get a photo of the cruise ship ‘Nieuw Statendam’ leaving the Firth this evening but the sun has gone down and with it the light.   Oh well.... bedtime chocolate and a browse through the TV channels for ‘the boy’.   Actually an early night in bed would be a good idea.

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
