Bright and breezy....

29th February 2024 (Thursday)    08.45.... We have a bonnie morrrrrrrrning;  an excellent day

'Toby' and Bonnie'..... on the mooch. (2010)

for doing a bit o' the Coastal Walk.  If the wind moderates I might do the Chapel Green bit at sunset time.  I'd do it just now as I'm in a 'go out and play' mood, but it's to windy.... and, anyway, it's breakfast time.

10.00   Kirsty phoned to remind me that we are going to the 19th for lunch; and, we have a new team member ....George (Harvey).   George will bring us up to date with all things at the East end of the village.  I'm hungry for both food and info already.   Oh... I have the showers towels to hand out... I'll do that then 'ave morrrrrrrrrning coffee. 


11.00   The 'breezy' bit of today's weather is cauld... there's a definite feel of wintry stuff behind it.   I found that out, when I was hanging out the washing, that we have a brilliant drying wind.... but a chilly one.   I won't be going out on the bike.   I'm looking forward to the 19th and  my monthly 'Fish and Chips' lunch:  there are other, mouth watering, choices but it's  my once a month chance to have proper 'fish 'n chips'.


18.30    We 'The Team' enjoyed our lunch at the 19th.    As ever the food, company and friendly banter made for a happy 'time out'... and our new member fitted in perfectly.   Kirsty brought a book, by Donna Leon, for my bedtime reading;  this was perfect as I finished 'The Dark Island' (written by  by Henry Treece) last night.



20.30    I felt a touch of winter in the air tonight, when putting the grey bucket out.   And the gritter went down earlier.  I'll have my chocolate and and get off to bed with the 'Donna Leon'  book Kirsty put through the letter box.  Donna Leon novels are set in Venice.

Tomorrow's weather is going to be much like todays was;  'bright, breezy and cold'...  with the chance light rain moving in, later in the afternoon.

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
