Bonnie, but cool morning ....

27th January 2024 (Saturday)    08.45 ....There's a cool breeze this morning (a good drying day)


with sunny spells mentioned in the forecast for KY9.   I'm feeling friskier than I did yesterday;  I might even get the bike out this weekend if the wind moderates.  This morning I'm doing a bit of shopping in Leven and visiting Alice.   The road closure (Elie to Balchrystie) is going to be a nuisance but, at the end of it there should be no pot holes.   Watching the workmen on Ferry Road, doing the job as it should be done, it was easy to see why the pot hole patching system is a temporary fix.   Very temporary in some cases.


19.00    After a cuppa at Alice's HQ we went out to the shops.   The first shop we made for (Eddy's, Buckhaven) didn't have a vacant parking space so, being that Alice had just had her hair done, and it was a bonnie morning, it seemed a good idea (mine) to go to the site of the former Buckhaven harbour.   Of course it was blowin' a hoolie down there.... which sorted Alice's hair in 'nae time'.   For some reason neither of us wanted to linger, so we set off for the Bargain Store (Leven) and did the shopping.... then back to Alice's in time to have another cuppa before another, very tasty Alice lunch. 


As is my normal routine I was back home in time for an afternoon catnap;   I must have been tired because  I slept for almost an hour.   I am always surprised at how busy the roads are nowadays;  I think that's how it's going to be around the East Neuk all the time now;  and I rarely see a car that I recognise.   Change is happening all the time;  it's only when getting older that it becomes more noticeable.

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
