Peaceful morning .....

5th August 2023 (Saturday)      09.00 .... I went up to Chapel Green on this


lovely, quiet morning;  even the birds were at peace.    Dogs were out exercising their owners, paddle boarders wandering around on the water and a few golfers out enjoying an early morrrrrrrrning round;  and me on the bike.  


I had to wait (on the seat at the 6th tee) about 10 minutes for golfers coming down the 5th, so, while waiting I took some photographs of that corner of Chapel Green Road... a place that I have neglected  for a while.  Maggie lived In ‘Beaufort’ when she was a teenager.

19.30     After breakfast I went to Methil to visit Alice, and do some shopping at the same time.   We were having a cuppa when Alice said “look at those clouds!... we’ll have to go to Buckhaven to get some photographs!   Actually it might have been me that said that!    Anyway we went to Buckhaven shore and I got some cloud photographs.   That reminds me I still have most of this morning’s photos to sort out.... and the Buckhaven ones.   Back at Alice’s we had one of her homemade steak pies for lunch;  my word that was tasty: and ‘Puku’ (Maori for stomach) was a very content puku!

On the way home from Methil I got caught in one of the ‘thundery showers’ that were mentioned in the weather forecast.   The car won’t need to go through the car wash for a while, because the rain was torrential.   I was back in Ivy by 14.00 and having my afternoon catnap, in front of the tele, about 30 minutes later.   I woke up an hour or so later well ready for a cuppa.   The one I’d made was sitting on the table .... cauld!  
Feeling refreshed, and creative I went out to The Hutte and enjoyed an hour with the pencils.

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
