Nice morning....

23rd June 2024 (Sunday)     08.00 .... It's a nice start to the day; at the moment there's a lot of


fluffy cloud about, and the  breeze is chillier than it should be in late June.   However, I'm sure that the sun will burn off some of the cloud to give us a warm and bonnie 'play day'.... that said, the chilly breeze could be bothersome.  I'm going to have another cuppa then go for the paper.

11.45   I've done the 'paper run (and got the paper) and came home by way of the Elie and Ferry roads.  The Main road (A917) was busy with traffic... probably heading for Elie and Earlsferry for a day out at the seaside.  I'll go up to Kinneuchar after lunch and visit Shona  (Barnyards).

15.45   I could get to like this sunny weather;  what we need is  a decent spell of this to finally shake of the winter bugs.   As planned I biked up to Kinneuchar to visit Shona but she was out, so I took a few photos of Kinneuchar, then went up the Colinsburgh road as far as Kinneuchar Mill farm.   The road to the Kinneuchar sewage works attracted me so I went down it .... admired the sewage works    sign then came home.    I am now going to make myself a cuppa; I might even have one of JB's choc bars that I found in the freezer!   


22.30    Well that's Scotland out of the Euros 2024:  it wasn't the best game of football to watch .... though it livened up for the last 10 minutes or so of the 90 minutes... and for the 10 minutes stoppage time added on.   Either team could have won then, but it was Hungary that did it;  with a well taken goal right at the end.  England might make it through to the last 16.

This has been a really bonnie day and I enjoyed my runs out on the bike.   I'll get up and out early tomorrow morning,  then charge up the battery and see if Shona is in tomorrow afternoon.   The forecast is 'good' .... in fact it might be uncomfortably hot for sleeping tonight!

Pittenweem swimming pool....

20th September 2017 (Wednesday) ... 13.30    When I went along to Elie for the papers this morning, I got slightly diverted and ended up along at the old Pittenweem tidal swimming pool.  Pittenweem  swimming pool.    Unfortunately we have a, mostly overcast, with occasional spits and spots of rain, morning.     I must go back on a ‘bright and  sunny’ morning... this will show up the different colours of the sandstone rocks etc better.    It is an interesting spot, and would have been busy in the 1930’s , 40’s and 50’s.        20.30     My day has been spent pottering around Ivy... including baking a batch of wholemeal scones.    Note to self .... I must remember to freeze some of them this time;  rather than feed them to Blob and his pals.     It has been a grey and sometimes damp day;  not a day for bumbling about outside.    The ‘cold’ that I had last night didn’t come to anything.... I must have been tired after Solid infrastructure at Pittenweem swimming pool. my wand

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
