Bright frosty morning ....

1st March 2024 (Friday)     08.15 .... I'll begin by wishing all my Welsh friends a  "Happy St

Low cloud over Balcarres.

David's Day".... on what is a gorgeous St David's Day morrrrrning here in Elie and Earlsferry.   That said this wintry feeling weather wasn't in my plan for today;  luckily there's only a light breeze, so, though cold, there's not much in the way of wind chill.  It's a wrap up well morning with light rain forecast for later in the afternoon/evening.

17.00    'The Boy' has been busy:  after breakfast I decided to go to Methil, and have a cuppa with Alice then we'd go to Sainsbury's in Leven..   And that is what we did.   The shop was busy but we didn't have any hold ups and were back at Alice's HQ by midday.  Alice went to prepared lunch.... and dozed off for a few minutes after a busy morrrrrrning.   We had a coffee and chat after lunch before I set off for Ivy.... arriving home about 13.45.   Since then I have had a migraine (weather) and a long doze in front of the tele.   Having a had a braw lunch at Alice's  I only need a sandwich for dinner.  In fact I'll have that \after this update.    

18.30    There's a raw damp feel to the air now (I've been oot at the bucket) so the rain that's forecast for tonight isn't far away.   Hopefully the rain will have moved away by tomorrow morning..... however 'light rain showers' are mentioned in tomorrow's forecast.  I was hoping to have a turn round the villages on the bike tomorrow but only of the weather is kind.   I'm away to make another cuppa before looking for something to watch on the tele.

22.30    I ended up watching 'Father Brown' on Channel 20.... followed by the BBC News on Channel 231.   I enjoyed 'Father Brown'.... the News was depressing.   Now orf to bed to potter around Venice courtesy Donna Leon.

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
