Lovely morrrrrrrrning .....

11th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.15 .... We have a lovely morning at Elie and Earlsferry;  there's a

Only 257 days till Christmas!

warm, frisky, South Westerly breeze with a mix of mist, clouds and sunny intervals .... the start of a good 'play day'.    I'm going to make an appointment at the hairdresser, then go to the 'Store' (Ainster) and spend some of 'my' Dividend that has built up over the past few years;  it has to be spent by the 31st of December.   Must 'go' slightly exciting 'Flap On' this morrrrrrrning.

10.30   At 'Store' prices it won't take many visits to 'The Store' to get rid of my accumulated Dividend.   Next week I'm going to do the same shopping list in Bargain Store (Leven) and compare the prices.   That said ... I enjoyed the run along the coast to Ainster;  I didn't go down to the harbour.... but came home by way of Arncroach.   The plan was to use the Colinsburgh Straight but there was a diversion sign at Newton of Balcormo.   I enjoyed the trip home .... and fuelling up the car at Colinsburgh.   The messages have been put away and I'm  now enjoying a cuppa, before loupin' on the bike to go and make an appointment to have my hair cut.


12.30    The streets were quiet when I biked up to Elie to make my haircut appointment;  (which is tomorrow morrrrrrrning).    That mission completed I decided to go up to Kinneuchar and found the main road busier, but not 'Flap on' busy;  so I got a wee bit of exercise ... and a few photographs to 'play' with tonight.   It's windy out but it's a warm wind and I enjoyed the freedom that comes with the bike.



17.15   As is my norm I fell sound asleep about 14.30.... after watching a WWII film based on the bombing of Hanover.   I'm not a great fan of 'war' films, but this had  a few good Lancaster bomber scenes in it and I managed to watch most of it before dozing off.
When out at the gate having a general browse I noticed that the clouds are beginning to have a more threatening look about them;  light rain is forecast to arrive  about midnight and move away by breakfast time. 

.... and before.

22.15   The rain has arrived but isn't very heavy... though heavy rain is forecast.   I enjoyed being out on the bike today and look forward to a longer spell of decent weather so that I can get fit enough to go further afield;  up to Balcarres etc.   Right now I'm going to have my 'orlicks and get off to bed.   I'm looking forward to having my hair cut in the morrrrrrrrning!

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
