Wall to wall blue sky .....

7th July2024 (Monday)     08.15 .... we have a sunny and warm morning with a wall to wall 'bloo'


sky;  this could be summer.... and a good drying day!   I've hung out a downie cover (not my favourite job)  and  now ready for breakfast.   I might take a turn up to Chapel Green on the bike later today..... after some last minute 'ooverin' and dustin'.

23.00    This has been more like summer (actually in Scotland this might have been summer).... I'm definitely getting the sun cream out now!    Probably be rainin' tomorrow.   It was such a bonnie evening that I went up to the seat at the 17th green to get a few golf course photos.   From there I would see Jackie  going down the road ..... if I she turned up when I was out.   As it happened she didn't;  and I got a lot of good 'evening light photographs'.   Jackie arrived just after 20.00 .... the roads having been quiet all the way down from Auchnagatt.


The Leven shopping mission in the morning was an outstanding success;  as was morrrrrning coffee with Alice.  Alice had been busy making an 'apple and Philly' (Philadelphia) cheesecake; so I stayed for lunch... main course and cheesecake.   Dinner was a 'lite bite' sandwich!

Jackie's course begins tomorrow afternoon and she will be busy for the next 6 days.  I might go out on the bike at some point tomorrow but if the forecasters have got it right.... we could have heavy rain in the afternoon.

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
