Lovely morrrrrrrrrrrning ....

14th January 2024 (Sunday)     08.45 .... all the Fife Weather stations are showing a

From the fourth teeing area.

bonnie start to the day;   more or less the same kind of sky, temperature (-1) and wind strength all over Fife ....it' s a nice morning to do a bit of the Coastal Path; I might try for the Chapel Green bit, when the air is warmer.   So far I've only been as far as the gate when feeding 'Blob' and the Blackie.

22.30    I have been a very busy boy today.   I fixed the camera on to the tripod and photographed all the Kinneuchar drawings, so that they are pin sharp when I use them on the blog page.   I then edited and resized them ready for the page.   That took me up to lunch time.   After lunch and my 'after lunch catnap', I decided to go for a short walk up to the golf course for a change of scene and some fresh air.   It wasn't as cold as I'd expected it to be, but I was well wrapped up.   There was a a bonnie, late afternoon 'light' about, so I enjoyed my short daunder;  and ended up with 58 photographs to sort out.  
 
'Blob' was waiting for his evening snack when I got back to Ivy so I fed him... and the Blackie and Hedge Sparra; I then made myself a cuppa before sorting out the afternoon photographs.  Alice phone to tell me the Hamza was doing a wildlife programme so I watched that.... and one about the River Don.   This has been  a satisfying and relaxing day for me;  a good mix of 'work and play'.

Grange Road.

Tomorrow is going to be another bonnie day.... but it will feel cold in the brisk North-westerly wind.  I'm planning another 'work and play' day;  how much play depends on how cold it is outside!

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
