Lovely morning ....

21st September 2023 (Thursday)    08.45   It’s a lovely, ‘bright and

Leven roadworks.

breezy’, morning;  a good drying day.... with no mention of precipitation in the weather forecast.  The air is much cooler than it was yesterday but not overly cauld... I’ll leave any biking until afternoon, when the air should feel warmer.   I’ve hung out a washing, fed 'Blob' and well ready for my own breakfast now.

16.30   It has been a breezy but bonnie day... even though cool when exposed to the wind.   I had a restful few hours with Alice;  I had thought about going to the beach but that was not the place to be today, so we had a cuppa and chatted.... even a former Prime Minister came into the conversation at one point.  We had a bowl of soup and hole made Apple Crumble for lunch followed by another cuppa before I bumbled my way home.

I thought that temporary traffic lights and the associated roadworks, on Largo Road Leven were things of the past;  but there they were this morning.... though I think they might be short term.   Anyway, we had queues; both times I passed through them. I took a photo.

RNLI shed - Anstruther.

20.30   I’ve enjoyed myself today....a ‘nae flap on’ day: Ye Gods that’s rare.   I have no doubt I’ll find something to ‘flap’ about tomorrow.  Actually I already have something to ‘flap’ about;  I’m thinking about changing the car.  That’s a big decision for me to make on my own;  however a car is almost a necessity living in Earlsferry, especially with the winter coming in.   There you are I am in ‘Flap on’ mode.

I’m uncovering s lot of ‘different’ facts about Kinneuchar Kirk; but I’ll have to sort them out and knit the ones I know are ‘fact’ together.   Thankfully, the Rev Sime sketched the remains of the pre Reformation kirk that was converted for use as a Presbyterian kirk;  and I know what that conversion involved.  Loads o’ reading and drawing to do yet.

I took the latest drawing along to Methil, see what Alice thought of it;  luckily she liked it


so I can begin to finish that one.   I’ll take a break from drawing after that, and concentrate on the writing.

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
