Frosty....

18th January 2024 (Thursday)   08.00.... It was cauld on the hands when feeding 'Blob' and his


pals this morning;   and, although it's going to be a bright and sunny, it's never going to be very warm.  It's a day for staying in and warm.   I'm going to Leven (and Methil) today, then will settle down to do 'ousework and computer stuff;  I'm beginning to see light at the end of this project tunnel. at last.   Thankfully the weather is forecast to turn warmer, but windier, over the weekend.  Oops I sneezed... and sneezed again!    I need another cuppa.

19.30   It has been a bonnie day in spite of it being old (the frost never lifted in the shade).... and even the roof of the shed, in the garden next door to Alice's,  was covered in frost in the middle of the day.   I think it was colder in Methil than it was at 'The Ferry!    Alice's Scotch Broth was excellent, and  I have got the 'crock pot' out to make soup for the freezer tomorrow.

Katherine Villa appears to be 'no more';  the crane that was brought in to finish off the job is moored up in the gap where the house was tonight.   I'll go down there tomorrow morrrrrrning and take a few photos.... weather permitting.   I think the air should be slightly warmer tomorrow with milder air (and wilder) air coming in from the Atlantic.

22.30    The snowdrops are going to be flowering soon;  I can already see the little clump, at the front door, ready to burst open to brighten my day with thoughts of Spring!   I'll be loupin' aboot like a Spring lamb next.    I think I'll have a slow daunder to the beach tomorrow, and come up by Ferry Wynd to take photos of the Katherine Villa space;  I'm hoping it isn't frosty tomorrow morning.

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
