Bright early morrrrrrrrrning .....

26th March 2024 (Tuesday)    08.30 .... We had a beautiful, albeit cold and short lived, start to the


morning:  then the sky clouded over and we could have spells of light rain.   I fancied going to the beach but the breathing tubes object to the cold air so I'm going to have breakfast and another cuppa.  I'll go for the paper .... and visit the harbour later in the morrrrrrrning;  we could have some interesting clouds. 

16.30   Although cold it has been a bonnie day .... I even went for the paper (forgot to pick it up but hey ho... I'll go for two papers tomorrow) and went to the harbour. The villages were busy both with visitors cars and workmen vans.   It looks like lie and Earlsferry is being rebuilt.   Apart from Ivy which is needing a coat o' paint.   I'll get that done (not personally) after the garden has been reinstated.

We've been lucky with the weather having missed out on the light rain, that I saw rattling along the 'Sooth side' when I was at the harbour. 

Elie lighthouse. 

22.30   Today's News has been dominated by the container ship that collided with the bridge in Baltimore;  it looked like it took about 30 seconds for the bridge to collapse after the initial collision;  it certainly was devastatingly fast.  The men working on the bridge didn't stand a chance;  my thoughts are with the families of the missing men.

I've had a reasonably active day but this weather, with winds from the Easterly direction, curtails my outside activities.   Rain is forecast to move in tonight.... and be with us until lunch time tomorrow, so I'll be lying low in the morning.
The Diamond Art picture of Elie lighthouse was done by Alice ....for my birthday.   The photograph doesn't do it justice as the little beads glint and make it 'live'.   I'll take photo of it on the wall tomorrow.

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
