Bonnie morning .....

27th September 2024 (Friday)    09.15 .... There's still a cool Northerly breeze, but the wind has

moderated  so there's less wind chill;  a grand drying day.    That reminds me the washing will be ready to hang out.... back in 10 minutes.    (09.30)   Hanging out the washing was chilly on the haunds.... but it's done and it's a good drying day so I'm happy.  Now what's next?   Oh aye ....I'll have a fresh cuppa, then sort out the bedroom.

23.15    Iain arrived just after 17.00:  we had a cuppa then went to 'Ainster Store' to get some vital necessities ... such as milk, bread and vital foodstuff.   We were half way to Pittenweem when I remembered that we hadn't bought bread.    However we had plenty milk and some food (ready meals);  plus a top for the 'Emergency Ration' tins!    Can't forget the 'Emergency Rations. 

The plan for tomorrow is to go to Kirkcaldy to have a look at Mobility Scooters, and do a good stock up shopping for the week.   That will include bread!   The car is in 'dry dock'  so I 'm taking advantage of Iain being here.    I've been thinking about a mobility scooter for a wee while now;  I think it would be the best way for me to get round the villages with the camera.   Anyway we're only looking tomorrow, and I'd  keep the car for at least another year.


I've had a quiet, and restful day restful day.  I never went anywhere because I was in a 'potter around Ivy' mood.    I didn't even go out with the camera, but I sorted out another Folder of photographs.

The bunch of grapes I got from Valerie.... and grown in the Royal Burgh!    Maggie and I once grew some but they were sour;  whereas Valerie's grapes are sweet.   I made wine with our grapes;  it was dry.... and had a lingering effect!....leaving me with a 'migraine.   It actually tasted 'good'.... dry with a regal aftertaste..

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
