Lovely mprning .....

21st November 2023 (Tuesday)    08.45.... there's a cold air (2C on the thermometer) with a


light breeze from the Northwest;  a bonnie morning for being out.   I plan to go up to Chapel Green, on the bike, after the temperature rockets up to about 7C;   the sun has crested a low bank of cloud and the air should warm up fairly quickly now.   'Blob' was happily twittering away atop the Rowan tree .... and had had his 'breakfast'.   The stonemasons are setting up their scaffold ready to begin pointing the new stonework.  It's all 'go' around me: I might do a spot of work .... later.   It's cuppa No 2 time.

19.30    I have been a busy boy today!   I decided to go up to |Chapel Green on the bike but thought I'd better do some 'ousework, to fend off the guilty feeling I have when settling down on Maggie's seat if I haven't done 'ousework.  After cuppa No 2 (mentioned above) I set about an early 'Spring Clean' of the kitchen:  the thinking being, that by the time Spring is here I will have finished it!   Anyway I made a good start to that mission, working for almost an hour non-stop ....then had another cuppa (No 4) before getting to bike out round about midday.   The air was quite warm at that time... and there was very little wind so it was perfect for me going out.   And I didn't feel guilty

when relaxing on The Boss's Seat.   I enjoyed a good half hour up there, and met a photographer (Mark) who was out for the day to get a break away from the city (Glasgow).    The sun was starting to be swallowed up by a bank of cloud coming over from the West, which gave us an interesting 'light'.   From Chapel Green I went round to the Interpretation Board at the edge of the 10th fairway and got a few photos.... including four lady golfers coming up the 10th fairway.   Photographs come 'alive' with people in them ....even in the distance.   I also stopped at the seat by the sixth tee to get a few photos of a gent the 5th:  It was a happy boy that put the kettle 'on' in Ivy Cottage five minutes later.

22.30    I'm tired and content after an enjoyable day.... I even enjoyed the 'ousework and might do some more tomorrow.   I'm hoping to go out on the bike again but the weather forecast is slightly 'iffy'.... the forecast being 'windy with the chance of light rain';  but it should be warm.   It could be a drawing and ousework day.

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
