Bonnie frosty morning ....

16th March 2024 (Saturday)     09.00 ....  We have a beautiful frosty start to Saturday;  'Blob'

'Shona'.

looks happier.   I might go out on the bike once the air warms up, but the 'plan' is to have a quiet rest day.... doing whatever comes to mind and right now that's breakfast!    

15.30    We've had a bonnie spell of Spring weather o far today.... so much so that I had thoughts of getting the bike out to go for the paper.   However I was short of milk so went in the car instead.  (Note to me;  I must get a new carrier bag for the bike.   The zip is broken on the one that's there at present).  I met Shona (who I haven't seen since before Christmas) when I was up in Elie, so we had  a good old natter by the Bus Stop.  When I think of it I didn't ask where Shona was heading for, but when we did go our separate ways I came home by way of Balbuthie and Kinneuchar.  Shona had bought herself a coffee so probably sat in the car to scoff that.   Anyway it was good catching up with her .... and I arranged to have coffee up in Barnyards someday next week.   

Six Nations rugby is on the tele today.... that takes care of the afternoon. 

19.30    Scotland lost 17 - 13 against Ireland in Dublin.... and Wales lost 21 - 24 against Italy at Cardiff.   It was a good way to spend some of the afternoon.   The France v England game is being played just now.   I'll watch that after this update.

I've had a busier day than was planned;  I did a washing and an ironing, but never went out on the bike.  Shona is asthmatic and like me is not going out biking just now.   I must admit I was tempted to go out today, but thought better of it.

Heavy rain is forecast for KY9 tonight, turning to 'light rain' tomorrow morning.   I'm going to visit Alice and we're going to a Craft Fair in the Old Manor.   It will be interesting to see what is happening in the Fife crat world nowadays.   Like most activities it is has taken a while to recover from the pandemic.

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
