Lovely, bright and breezy morning.....

3rd March 2024 (Sunday)     08.30.... It's bright and sunny with a light frost this

'Archie'. - Elie skiff.

morrrrrrrrrrning.... and it is forecast to be sunny most of the day.   Sunny, but cool in the moderate breeze;  a bonnie day for walking part of the Coastal Path.  I've been out feeding 'Blob' and there is a chilly old wind, much colder than I expected;  I might not be going far from the door .... and doubt if I'll be doing my bit of the Coastal Path today..... Chapel Green!   It might be a stay in and warm day for 'Alber'.

10.00    The birds are acting  strangely;  as if they are expecting bad weather in the next day or so.   It doesn't necessarily mean that the weather they are bothered about will reach us, but they are stocking up in case it does.   We have a bonnie 'drying day' so I washed and hung out a small washing;  it was while hanging out the washing I noticed that the birds were seriously 'on the mooch'.... including a Wren.   At the moment I'm having an early 'morrrrrrning coffee' before going for the paper.

'Sea Queen' - St Monans skiff.

15.00   When I went Elie, for the paper and my morning visit to the 'arbour, I found both EESC (Elie and Earlsferry Sailing Club) skiffs, 'Archie' and 'Sea Queen', were out on the bay.   It was a good day for rowing .... and for the camera, and I enjoyed myself.   It was breezy at the harbour but I don't notice the wind when taking photos.... so ended up with a few more for the Alber' Archive.   Since then the sky has clouded over .... and I've brought the washing in, because it looks like we could have showers.  


20.30    I was thinking of restarting the Spring cleaning tomorrow... but decided to leave it until Wednesday.  My poor muscle  needs aw the rest it can get!   Tomorrow will be a rest day.   I've enjoyed 'today';  catching the skiffs on the water was a bonus for the camera.   It has been a bonnie day and the villages were busy with folk taking advantage of that.   I haven't been doing much 'work' today but should get back on track by the middle of the week.   I finished transferring DVD's on the hard drive;  I

haven't checked the total number of photos.... but it's a lot!    I now have to start transferring (writing) photographs from other hard drives onto DVD's for backup.  Writing to DVD's takes longer but I can do other things after setting it up.   

The Paris - Nice cycling race started today, and we get the highlights at 19.00 so I've been watching that..... and the Athletics from Glasgow.   I haven't been a busy boy today.

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 f...

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 l...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
