Bonnie sunny morrrrrning ....

24th March 2024 (Sunday)    09.00 .... We have a bright and sunny Sunday morrrrrrrrrring... and


the wind has moderated so it's warmer:  however, the wind is going to veer round to the East by late afternoon and that might bring a change in the weather.... colder and maybe even damp.  I enjoyed a good night of unbroken sleep;  and feel almost playful after a long hot shower to slacken aff stiff muscles.... after a busy  and enjoyable birthday walk round Kellie Castle garden.  I'm thinkin' it's breakfast time.

16.00   The wind has moderated and we have a quiet day now;  apart a light shower o' rain that, unfortunately for me, coincided with my plan to have a walk up to the golf course.    But it's only showers so I'll  have another cuppa then see what's happening.    So far today I have had the 'rest day' that I intended having.   Now I'm beginning to feel playful!   

Although this has been my birthday week I have been keeping up with the News.  Up there, with all the unpleasant news from around the world, was the news from the Princess of Wales that she is having treatment for cancer.  That news came as a total shock to most of the world, but it must have been absolute devastation for the Prince and Princess of Wales, and their young family.  I realise that around the world families have to cope with such news... and do so privately, with courage and dignity, and that the Princess is not alone.  The Princess made the announcement, about her 'nae weelness', herself on the video that we have all seen;  now that took courage of the highest order.  It's probably the most courageous announcement I have ever seen a young woman, with a young family ever do. They, the Prince and Princess of Wales and their young family, and all who suffer from such illness, are in my thoughts and prayers:  The Princess should now be allowed the privacy to get better.

17th fairway - Earlsferry Links.

19.30   I eventually had a walk up to the golf course late in the afternoon;  there was a busy sky, and golfers on the course to make interesting photographs.   I don't know what was in the air but my breathing was not good, but that didn't stop me enjoying my short walk with the camera.   I think it is the change in the weather that is the problem;  according to the weather forecasters we're taking  a step back to winter weather! 


22.30    As planned I have had a good 'rest day' .   I did some computer work then sorted out a few more photographs but most of the time I was reading (research).   Tomorrow I am visiting Alice;   the weather forecast isn't very good for tomorrow so a good day to do any shopping if we want to do that.

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
