Bright and breezy ....

10th September 2024 (Tuesday)    08.15 .... There's a load o' fresh air around this 'bright and


breezy' autumnal  morning, but the rain has cleared away.  The wind should freshen in the morning then moderate in the afternoon;  a good drying day, but a bit breezy for morning coffee outside.   Anyway I need to go to Leven first thing, but apart for that, this is going to be a 'rest day'.

19.00    It has been a beautiful day;  a bit breezy perhaps, but that made it a brilliant drying day.   I did a washing.

My trip to Leven was a success (I got all the bits and pieces I wanted).... and had morrrrrrning coffee with Alice.    Back at Ivy I did the aforementioned washing then had a 'lite bite' lunch.   I intended doing some work on the wee shed, but fell asleep.   I must have been tired because I slept for over an hour.  I wasn't in ta working mood  when I woke up; so I had a cuppa then went for a walk to the beach. The beach was busy which was a surprise, but when I think about it.... although windy it wasn't very cold, 

I was sitting on on of the seats, right out in the open, and didn't feel cold.... but I had a jacket on.   As did most of the folk on the beach. 

22.30   There's a chill in the air tonight;  I'm thinkin' that we've had a short Autumn!   Tomorrow is going to be another bonnie, but cool, day.... and not as windy.

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
