Bonnie, quiet morning....

15th February 2024 (Thursday)     08.00 .... 'light rain and light winds' is the weather forecast ...

and we have had some rain overnight;  but it is 'fair', and a bonnie, albeit overcast, morning at the moment.   I suppose we can expect some spells of light rain now and again.... and maybe a few sunny spells.  Unfortunately this is not good breathing weather, so not going on the Mining Museum trip was the right decision for me.   I'll have a quiet day transferring photographs..... with time out for a run up to the 'paper shop' .... and maybe even down to the harbour.

17.30    The light rain and drizzle didn't relent until a mid afternoon so I didn't go out in the car;  but I had a wander up to the golf course about 15.30. for a wee bit o' exercise.   It was still misty but not raining..... and quite warm....there wasn't a breath of wind so nae wind chill!

Most of the day the weather was  perfect for doing what I was  doing;  transferring photos as planned.   I transferred 12 DVD's on to an external hard drive.... and still have 80 to do.   Most DVD's have between 4  -5000 photographs on them so there's lot of work still to do.   It isn't heavy work!

22.30    Alice had a great time at the Mining Museum;  the weather was much the same as ours, but they were inside most of the time:  but I am glad that I didn't go;  I'd have been nuisance.    Anyway I've had  a busy day with the computer... and some of the photographs I've transferred have brought back loads of happy memories.   I only look at a random selection and I like what I'm seeing.   I'm transferring onto tard drives because they are easier to work from.  

17th green.

'Drizzle and a gentle breeze' is forecast for tomorrow so I should get a few more (DVD's) done.   The drizzle is forecast to arrive late in the afternoon so I might take the bike out for a we run, then charge up the battery;  I'm assuming there's enough life in the battery to go for the wee run!

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 f...

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 l...

The morning after 'Storm Eowyn' ....

25th  January 2025 (Saturday)     08.30 .....  Well .... that was one frisky wind yesterday Candlelight evening....Unfortunately not a romantic one! afternoon;   from 14.30 to 17.30 it was absolutely ferocious.    And I got some damage at Ivy Cottage;  a ridge tile blew off, slid down the roof and broke the rhone (guttering I thinks it's called now) so that will have to be repaired.  A Red Warning of wind means damage and that's what we have;  not only at Ivy but at other places around Elie and Earlsferry.... and over the whole area of the red Warning.   I only hope no one was injured by stuff being blown around in the wind.    It's the worst wind I have ever experienced in Earlsferry.   I have never felt so useless .... and helpless.    My neighbour Mathew came round to see if I was OK.... which I really appreciated;  I enjoyed talking to him.... it calmed me down a bit.  ...
