5th December 2023 (Tuesday)     07.15.... it was wet (and cold) when 'Blob' had breakfast snack,


but it's fair now: the forecast is 'light showers with a gentle breeze'.   I'm hoping for sunny spells between the light showers....we don't want, nor need, the prolonged rain we had yesterday.   The 'team' ,working in the back garden, would appreciate some sunny weather after working in the rain.   My plan for today is to 'stay dry and warm', writing Christmas cards, drawing and doing 'ousework.

12.30   I've been for the paper... and own to the harbour, but it was raining so, although we had a bonnie sky, I didn't take a lot of photographs, and went to Colinsburgh to fuel up the car.   The plan is to have a light lunch followed by a half hour catnap.

19.00   The 'Rural Developments' ream have been busy in the back garden:  the got a mini 'Bobcat' into the garden  to prepare the ground.    Of course it all depends on the weather when it comes to finishing 

the job.  Just now I don't have to go far to get some action photographs.  While they were doing all that work I was ... er....sound asleep in front of the tele.

21.30    The bike has been put away for the winter.... only to be brought out when the daffy down dillies are thinking starting to appear.   Of course if we have a decent warm spell it (the bike) can easily be brought out.  

I've had a reasonably active with the feather duster etc.... and printed off my amended Christmas card list... I can get started with that.
We're going to have sunny spells tomorrow, but it's going to be cold;  in fact there's a Yellow warning for frost overnight giving us ice on the pavements and roads tomorrow morning.
The 'Team' (Myra Kirsty and Alber) is going to the 19th for lunch (Myra's birthday) tomorrow, so I

don't have to bother about food.

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
