Nice morrrrrrning ....

 30th October 2023 (Monday)    08.00 .... It's a lovely morning (it isn't raining) and looks like


being a nice day... we might have some sunny spells.   I've hung out a washing, but I expect it will get an extra rinse as there is a 'chance of precipitation'.....and it's cloudy just now.   There's a drying Easterly wind, but that same wind is bringing the clouds in from the North Sea.   If the washing disnae dry today it will tomorrow because Tuesday is going to be brighter.... with less chance of rain.   I'm  hungry... it's breakfast time.

19.30    I always enjoy my visits to Methil and Alice;  and our wee shopping session with Karen (Alice's daughter).   I got all the messages I went for plus, a wee top up for the 'Emergency Ration' tin ... (goodies).  

We ended up with a perfect 'drying day'.... and .... no precipitation of any kind!    I had a run down to the harbour at sunset time and found 'Port Servicer' (utility vessel based at Burntisland/Methil....(I think 'Port Servicer' is it's actual name)) working in Woodhaven Bay.   There was a diver working on something underwater .... probably the sewage outlet pipe.   I took a few photos then had a chat with Mike.

'Port Servicer'

22.00   Heather and Ray came down for 'evening coffee and chat'.   Alistair, who normally makes the coffee, was working so I had to make the coffee;  it was drinkable but definitely not up to Alistair standard.    Anyway we enjoyed our 'catch up' evening .... and even drank the coffee.  Heather and Ray are going back home tomorrow, because the weather is reverting back to normal Scottish 'wet and windy ' on Wednesday.   Tomorrow is going to be the best day this week;  I'd better go out and enjoy some of it at least.

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
