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 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
