Nice fresh morrrrrning .....

22nd February 2024 (Thursday)     08.00 .... It's a nice morrrrrrrrning, but spitting rain when I

Ferry Wynd.

was giving 'Blob' his breakfast.... 'light rain showers, with sunny spells' are mentioned in the weather forecast.   The Fife Weather Lochgelly cam is showing a clearing sky so the sunny spells should be with us by mid morning.   I'm going to Leven, probably via the recommended route.... the longest, but least frustrating.

16.45    I went to Leven as planned:  actually not as planned.   I spotted the white bus, out of the corner of my eye on the Balbuthie road, making for Kinneuchar, so I decided to chance following it (Half a mile or so behind) and got through 'nae bother'.    That said the Balbuthie road is a mess where big vehicles have met and had to manoeuvre to get through.   I was feeling brave on the way home and took a chance with the Balbuthie road again... and got through 'nae bother';  but I didn't meet any big vehicles.

As usual I enjoyed my visit to Alice ... oops ... I mean my trip to Leven to do the shopping.  On arriving at Leven I went up to Alice's and had a cuppa, before we both went to Sainsbury's to do the shopping.   It was a major 'shop';  I'd run out of Blob's favourite breakfast.... McVities Digestive biscuits. and bought four packs.  The shopping done, we then went back to HQ where we 'put the world' to rights,


over another cuppa, before Alice made a lovely chicken based lunch (I won't need much in the way of food tonight).  As I had freezer stuff in the boot, and  Alice was going to visit a friend in the afternoon, I set off for Ivy; and was back home by 14.00.  With the messages away in their proper places, I was asleep in front of the tele by 14.30.... obviously a happy and contented boy.

20.30    The gritter went down the road not long ago so they must be expecting frost.   It has been colder this afternoon;  I set off to have a wander to the beach, but changed my mind when I found that it was really cold.   I only got as far as The High Street.   'Sunny intervals with a moderate breeze' is forecast... and it will feel cold because of the wind chill.   I'm planning to out on the bike once the air warms up, but won't be going far if it's cauld.

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
