Beautiful morrrrrrning ....

25th November 2023 (Saturday)    09.30   It's an absolutely stunning morning here (Elie and

Jim, Myra and 'SD' ....Birnie loch.
Earlsferry) with more or less wall to wall sunshine, with a light NW breeze: a perfect day for doing a bit of  the Coastal Path.    I might do the bit round Chapel Green later.   It's cauld on the lugs ... (2C now but we had a touch of frost earlier).... thankfully there isn't the wind chill that we had yesterday.   I've hung out a washing;  I doubt if it will dry completely....but it will be dangling in the sun, and that should do something. 

18.30    Although it has been a beautiful day it has been cold;;;; too cold or me to go out on the bike or anything like that.   I went to Methil to annoy Alice, who was in need of a break from her current project;  and I am the very 'boy' to do that.   We had a grand blether, then lunch followed by a cuppa.   I didn't need to do any shopping.... and  they would have been too busy for me bumbling around anyway.   The roads were really busy.   I'd planned to stop at the Leven Prom Car Park but it was 'Full'.   The Leven Christmas lights were being switched on this afternoon so that might explain the traffic on the roads around Leven.   I think the 'Bawbee Brig' is reopening next week after a long refurbishment,... that should help the traffic flow.

Shell Bay woods.

20.30    With my staying in Ivy I've been watching the News: Another exchange of hostages and prisoners is taking place (after a slight hiccup);  so that's more good News from the Middle East.  It must be a terrifying time, for the relations of the hostages, waiting to see if their relations are among those being set  free.   

I have no 'plan' for tomorrow other than go for the paper then spend most of the day drawing.   The forecast is for us to have another cold day.... so no biking.  I might take a short walk to the beach  once the sun is up.   At the moment we have rime beginning to settle on top of the cars so a cold night ahead.

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
