Nice morning.....

6th December 2023 (Tuesday)    08.45....it's a bonnie, frosty morning and there could be ice on

Little Egret

the pavements, so take care.   We had a red sky sunrise, an early warning of the weather coming our way tomorrow.   'Blob' has had his morning snack, and I've had my breakfast;  I think I need another cuppa before to liven me up a bit.  

13.30    I was in loads o' time for Myra's birthday lunch at the 19th;  24 hours early.   For some reason I have been thinkin' that Myra's birthday was on Wednesday 7th December;  it's on the 7th right enough but that isn't today!   I'll probably be late tomorrow!

It's a lovely day out ... and things are happening all over the place.  The cabling is going in for fibre connection Broadband.  I'm happy enough with the speed I have so won't bother with fibre; apparently fibre is best if you do gaming etc.  I don't.  Anyway the cabling people were unloading a  tractor digger thing off a trailer on Ferry Road so fibre has coming to the Ferry;  they have been working in Elie for the past few weeks. 

His 'Nibs' with new friend!

I'm thinkin' that I need to organise food now;  I'll defrost Scotch Broth and have that for lunch.

19.00   We have another Yellow Warning for ice on the pavements and roads tomorrow morning; which the forecast is for us to have 'heavy rain with strong winds' most of the day so, if the pavements are icy when the rain arrives they will be really slippery for a while.





22.30   I watched the last episode of Shetland..... and I still feel that it's unfinished.    Maybe it's me but there seems to be a few loose ends still flapping around in my head.   I mean there's the young laud that

found a holdall full of money at the end;  I assume he is now wandering around Shetland wondering what to spend it on.   There must be another series to come.

The Little Egret was a surprise ;  they are birds of the Mediterranean area but, with global warming have been breeding in the south of England for a few years now.   They are occasional visitors to Scotland;  who know they might eventually start breeding up here in a few years.

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
