Beautiful morrrrrrrrrning .....

15th June 2024 (Saturday)    08.45 .... We have a sunny and warm morning;  one of those balmy,

peaceful mornings that make me think of 'summer'.   There's a light breeze, with a few clouds scattered around.... more like the weather we should be getting at this time of year.  Unfortunately, 'Light showers' are forecast for the afternoon.  There could be interesting clouds. 

17.00   It has been a beautiful day .... and a perfect drying day!  I'm a happy boy because the washing got a couple of extra rinses yesterday and I left it out overnight, planning to spin it this morning but I forgot;  however I've been lucky.... and it's dry!


'JB' went out to West Bay with the camera this morning:  and, after a cuppa we louped intae the car and had a run to the harbour.  There was much activity at the 'arbour with both the skiffs out.... and  the Water-sports Centre getting organised, for what I imagine will have been  a busy day.   From Elie we went to Crail and moored up near the Hen's Ladder entrance.   We didn't go down to the harbour;  but I
got some photographs from the top of the HL.  Our next port of call was going to be the entrance to the road to Largoward just north side of Dunino;  however I'd got my roads mixed up (not for the first time);  we were on the coast road and that does not go to Dunino;  so we ended up in St Andrews.   We drove into haar just after leaving Crail  and that was with us near enough all the way to St Andrews.  The haar wasn't going very far inland and we drove out of it just after Morrison's roundabout.




23.00    Tomorrow we're going to Morrison's (St Andrews) to do a shopping and have lunch in the Café. The shopping is going be of the bulky variety, to cover the period when Ferry Road is closed to traffic for repairs to a broken drain at electricity sub station, and other work on the Ferry Road.

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
