Lovely, fresh morning....

 10th October 2023 (Tuesday)    08.30 ....We have a bright and breezy start to Tuesday.... and I


am feeling 'bright and breezy too.   The past couple of weeks have been stressful, but I am beginning to feel my 'auld sel' again.... not 'auld' as in age.   The plan is to go to the Bank (Leven), have morrrrrrring coffee with Alice, then get back to The Royal Burgh and into my new routine.   Some would call it a rut.... but I like my rut.   It's going to be breezy in the afternoon, with chance of 'light showers'.

11.30   That's the Leven mission done;  and morrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee with Alice.   Alice keeps her garden neat and tidy, so I am having a cuppa and contemplating doing some pruning in the front garden.  I want to go out on the bike, but the sky is overcast just now (the sunny spells mentioned in the forecast, have been few and far between)....but it's quite warm even with the brisk breeze.


18.00    The pruning 'plan' never got beyond the 'planning' stage;  I went out on the bike instead.   The sun was threatening to break through in the afternoon so I fancied a run down to the harbour.   The wind had freshened by this time but I was feeling frisky and to the harbour I went.   A couple of windsurfers were out  on the bay; they can rattle along even when the water is choppy.   The thing (board?) with the 'leg'  lifts the board above the waves so anyone with one of those boards has a less bumpy ride.  


22.30    'Strong winds and sunny intervals' is the weather forecast for us on Wednesday... with no precipitation mentioned.   It's going to be a drying day; I'll be up early, hang washing out then go for the

paper, charge the bike battery and go for a run in the car after breakfast.  I'll head for the 'Store' (Ainster) then come home by....possibly St Andrews.

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
