Bright and sunny after early frost .....

11th November 2023 (Armistice Day)    09.30 .... After an early morning frost we have a


beautiful Remembrance Day morning, albeit cauld on the lugs.   As is normal for me, I have a headache and feel a 'couple o' degrees under' 48  hours after having my booster jabs, so I will be lying low for the day.   I'll have to 'stay in and warm' and will miss the Elie and Earlsferry War Memorial service ,.... and watch the Cenotaph Remembrance parade on the tele on Sunday.   This will be the second time I've had to do this because of the 'jabs'.   That said.... I might be feeling AOK by tomorrow morning.  

16.00    I forgot that I had to go to the Chemist to pick up my prescription so I enjoyed a wee trip out in the car;   I also picked up the paper and went down to the harbour .... then home by way of Balbuthie and Kinneuchar to get a few photos to 'play' with.   I met Jennifer in Elie and she was telling me that the Elie skiff  ('Archie Rennie) had been out;  I'd missed a good photo opportunity.   James (Jennifer's husband) is one of the regular rowers.   Most of the afternoon has been spent dozing in front of the tele;  I woke up to find that I was watching 'Thunderbirds' (1965).   Can't remember what I'd been watching when I fell asleep.
The washing I hung out was 'nearly dry' so I brought it in;  it has been a bonnie day but not a good drying one.


19.00    I'm tired .... even after sleeping most of the afternoon.   Tomorrow will probably have to be another 'rest day';  so I'll likely watch the Cenotaph Remembrance Parade, thought I will tempted to go to the Elie and Earlsferry War Memorial Service.   It depends on how I'm feeling.   I feel fine just now.... but tired.
This has been a lovely day, even though it was cold.    The villages are busy;  I saw a lot of walkers out by the lighthouse and all around the East Links this morrrrning (when I was at the harbour).

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
