5th April 2024 (Thursday)     09.00 .... We have heavy rain with a moderate NE wind so not a

Shell Bay woods.

pleasant start to Thursday.   The ain is forecast to be with us, at varying intensities, for most of the day.   It's a 'stay in and stay warm day' for my.... a work on the computer day.  All the Fife Weather cams are showing a grey sky, but some show promising lighter shades o' grey:  the Upper Largo cams has Largo Law with a light covering of snow!   Being well stocked up wi' tea bags I'm a 'happy boy'.   The 'bucket cairt' (broon) has been.... I'll bring the bucket in, off the pavement, then have breakfast...... and another cuppa.   30gms of sultanas = one of  my ''five a day'" so I have them in my porridge;  it's like scoffing a  fruit cake mix.   Love my porridge.

Here is another go at the drive from Lundin Links to Elie Harbour without the adverts (hopefully.

21.00   I did a fair bit of research in the morning.... and sorted out a few older photographs to 'play' with.  I then decided to go to Leven and do the weekend shopping in the afternoon; and I'd visit Alice to have a cuppa.    It turned out that Alice had an appointment at the Health Centre later in the afternoon so I decided to stay and run her down to Leven on my way home.    In  the meantime Izzy appeared for afternoon Coffee .... we chatted until it was time go to the Health Centre.  I dropped Alice off  

 (Alice didn't know how long she would have to wait, and she had to pick up her new pills at the Chemist);  so I was back home about 17.00.   The rain was lashing down on the way home and I expected to get wet taking the messages in.  However the rain slackened off .... so I was happy.  It disnae take much to make me happy.

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...
