Beautiful morrrrrrrning .....

7th February 2024 (Wednesday)    10.30 .... It's a beautiful morrrrrning and I have been to the


beach.... somewhere I didn't think I'd be today.    I had to move the car to give the workmen access, so parked it at the Town Hall.   When I was there I thought...'beach'.... and I had the camera with me.  The beach was quiet but as ever bonnie and inviting, even though there is a wintry feel to the air; I got myself a few photographs for the archive before having a late breakfast.   I don't have to bother about lunch as the 'Friendship Lunch' is in the kirk Hall;  I must remember that Myra is picking me up.



16.00    I remembered the 'Friendship Lunch'.... and that I was being picked up by Myra:  what a difference a sunny day makes, even though it has been cold.   Myra had no bother getting parked at the Kirk Hall and we wondered if that meant a low head count for lunch;  but, happily, it didn't, and everyone enjoyed a bowl of soup, sandwiches,  cake and a cuppa.  The Hall had a happy buzz about it.... a lot of the

'buzz' seemed to be coming from Lexie's table.  Our table was the quietest!   I enjoyed catching up with the local 'News'.  The girls looked younger!....and  the 'boys' all smarter that me.   Myra dropped me off at St Margaret's (Earlsferry 'ouse), and I was back in Ivy by 14.00;  and 'cat napping' by 14.30.

19.00    It has been a bonnie and reasonably busy day... though I haven't done any proper 'work'.    Iain (Auchnagatt) is coming down at the weekend so I had better do some 'ousework;  a touch of de-man caving wouldn't go amiss.    Bob dropped by this morning (the 'Bob' half of Bob and Anne ... of Toni's shop) which reminded me that I need to do some 'ooverin' etc.    I'll do that tomorrow.

According to the weather forecaster, tomorrow weather is going to much the same as today.  I'm going

to do some shopping for the weekend .... at the 'Store' in Ainster.   The 'Store' (Co-op) is stopping the Dividend and we have to spend whatever we have accumulated;  so I'll do some of that tomorrow.   I have £60 on my 'Store Card'.

Overcast with light rain .....

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
