Bonnie morrrrrrrrrrning ....

31st October 2023 (Tuesday)    08.00.... it's a nice morrrrning with a chilly, NE breeze;  a good



drying day.  I might do a washing, because it could be a few days before we have another decent 'drying day'.  I don't have plan action for today;  Actually that's wrong because I'm going to wash some towels etc, but I don't have a proper 'play' plan.  The temperature is unlikely to be in double digits so I doubt if I'll go biking.   Actually, that's a bit of a sod, because I'm feeling playful.   I'll put the kettle 'on' .   Oh, nearly forgot; 'Port Servicer' has left Methil and is sailing across Largo Bay.... must still have work to do at Woodhaven.

13.30   I've had a productive morning drawing;  now I'm having an after lunch cuppa before going for a wee run in the car.    I did a washing which to take advantage of the drying win.... and before the wind and rain of the next Atlantic low arrives tomorrow.  Wednesday and  Thursday won't be good drying days.

The roofers are nearly finished with the roof on the new build next door (Ferry Lodge);  I'm wondering if the scaffolding in the back garden will be coming down.  The stonemason will need the high scaffolding on the gable, but I don't think he'll need the lower section (the bit that's in the back garden.


17.15   Would you believe it... the stonemason began delivering the stones to be used for the cladding; so the scaffolding will be coming down soon.   It's all happening next door.   I won't be sorry to see the scaffolding in the back garden go;  it's sort in your face as soon as you go out of the back door.   It's all very exciting watching it happen.






21.00    I had a run out to Woodhaven for a change but it was cold in the frisky Easterly wind.   The villages are still busy with well wrapped up people wandering out to the lighthouse and East Links.  I took a few photographs (of 'Port Servicer' working in the bay, but, with the air being so cold I was glad to get back into the car and back home.  You would have thought that the owners of 'Port Servicer' might have smartened her up a bit before working  off Elie and Earlsferry;  she looks a bit tatty.  And the person that came up with the name didn't 'iggzactly' use much imagination.  I daresay she does the job... and she ain't no chicken.... being built in 1990.   That's 'Port Servicer'  (Inverness) sorted out.

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
