Bright and breezy .....

28th June 2024 (Friday)    08.30 .... After a windy night we have a bright and breezy morning at

Elie and Earlsferry.... but it's cool for this time of year.  The wind is moderating, but it's still F5  going by the white caps on the water.   There's a chance of showers in the afternoon, but I might go out on the bike ..... when it's calmer.    

12.30   I biked up to the Post Box and posted my 'Vote', then up to Chapel Green to 'converse' with 'The Boss'.   I have to do some 'ooverin' and dustin'!   I met a couple from Leven, having a walk round The Ferry, when I was at the post box:  we ended up chatting about when the Co-op was one of the major employers in Leven..... they could both remember their mother's Co-op number!   

22.30    Heather, Ray and Alistair came down for a blether.; so we are up to date with each others 'News'.  One common piece of 'news'' was;  "the weather at Durham has been much the same as the weather at Elie and Earlsferry".

Ferry Road  has been busy today.... which is not really surprising as this is the start of the busy summer holiday period.   I meet a lot of interesting people during the 'oliday season.


I had great plans for doing 'ousework today but fell asleep in front of the tele for nearly an hour.   I'll get 'up' early and run roond wi' the 'oover in the morning.   I did a small washing 'cos it was a good drying wind.... and ironed it.  It may well have been a good drying wind.... it was also a cold wind, certainly colder than it should be.

The  international News has been taken up by President Biden having a poor showing in the USA Presidential debate last night.   He was tired .... at least his brain was tired, ..... and it showed.   At times he was seriously struggling.... and I felt sorry for him having been put in that situation.   

The wind has moderated and is now around F2 - 3.   Tomorrow is forecast to be 'sunny with a fresh breeze' so it shouldn't feel as cold as it has ben today.   I might go out early for the paper in the morrrrrrning to avoid the holiday traffic.... and be back in time to do some 'ousework before Iain and

Hazel arrive.   I'm also making a batch of 'Cottage Pies' for the freezer so could be a busy boy tomorrow.

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
