Bonnie morrrrrrrning ....

19th November 2023 (Sunday)    08.00.... Although the sky is mostly overcast just now it is


going to clear to give us a sunny spells day.... and its not cold for this time of year.   In fact I have a washing going through the machine in anticipation of a good drying day. drying day: there's a light breeze from the southwest so it's looking good.   As for me, I'm vertical, and feeling playful but this is going to be another 'stay in and warm' day: I'll go for the paper after hanging out the washing.  

11.30    The 'Sunday Post'  (got to keep up wi' Oor Wullie and The Broons) has been uplifted .... and the harbour visited.   There was a lot of activity around the harbour area .... including in and on the water.   In the water we had a group of swimmers (see photo above) doing some kind of exercise routine, on the water we had a single wind surfer  who seemed to be trying out a new sail, and around the harbour we had folk out for an early morning wander.


The 'paper shop' was also busy; in fact I get the impression that Elie and Earlsferry are a recognised short break destination nowadays;  which I can well understand because we live in a bonnie area of the UK.... even when the weather is not at it's best Elie and Earlsferry, and indeed the whole of the East Neuk, in very camera friendly.   I got a bonnie set of 'Today ad Elie and Earlsferry' photographs to 'play' with after lunch.  I'll have morning coffee now; after an enjoyable morning.   



13.30    The washing I hung out is drying but it's not the best of drying days.... and light rain is forecast for later in the afternoon so I'm keeping  an eye on the weather.    Not the easiest of jobs when I keep falling asleep.   I really think I'm suffering from the after effects of the 'jabs (10 days ago) cos' I feel lethargic.   Luckily I still enjoy drawing .... and drinking loads o' teas helps to keep me awake.

18.30    The weather has been kind today;  the rain that was forecast has yet to arrive, and  the washing I hung out was nearly dry... it has been ironed and is now hanging in front of a radiator to finish off the drying.   

I have a blood test at 08.45 tomorrow (Elie surgery), so an early bit of  action; however that leaves the rest of the day for me.   I suspect that tomorrow is going to be another 'rest day' ; it all depends on the weather really.

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
