Lovely morrrrrrrrrrrrning ....

10th December 2024 (Tuesday)    09.00 .... It's a bonnie morning, and there's a good chance of

sunny spells by the look of the sky.  There's a touch of frost so it isn't warm;  luckily there's only a light breeze so not much wind chill.   I might go to the beach in the middle of the day, but it's not going to be very warm if the forecast is right.... a high of 2C.   I'll spend most of the day writing Christmas cards.

16.30    What a difference to sun makes to how active I am.   I went for the paper, and other bits and bobs this morning, then down to the harbour ... in the car.   Being in the car, instead of the bike, limits the places I can stop to take a photograph, so today's were taken on my 'normal' Elie, Balbuthie, Kinneuchar paper run.   Actually there's was a lovely light at this time of year so I got myself a fair number of photos tae play wi' later.   Luckily there was hardly a breath o' wind which is why I went to the harbour.

After the 'paper run' I spent the time writing Christmas cards.  That reminds me;  I meant to buy stamps when I was in the 'Paper Shop'.   I'll get them tomorrow.   I took some time out from Christmas card writing, to go up to the 'hole on the wa' at Elie.   That's a badly placed  cash machine: apart from the fact that it faces south and the glass slopes the wrong way for the sun, and I'm not tall enough now to read the bottom line!   I'm 5 foot 11 inches when in bed, but when stood staunin' up, all my bones click into place and suddenly I'm only 5 foot 3 inches.  If the cash thingy machine didnae dish oot money, I wouldn't use it!   As it is we have a love hate relationship!   And, because I got the cash, we were 'in love' when I left!   Happy happy 'cash machine ....and me'.

20.00    It has been a lovely day albeit a cold one;  and we have a lovely calm night ahead and already there's frost on top of the car.   I have it pointing South so that the sun melts and ice on the windscreen in the morning.   It's to be sunny with light breeze tomorrow;  with the temperature much the same as it was today.   I'm going to the History Society Coffee Morning:  if it's not too cold I might walk to the Pavilion.   

I've done most of the cards that need to be posted, and hope to finish them tomorrow.   Oh ... I must remember to buy stamps.  Forget the walking to the Pavilion plan;  I'll be going in the car....... via the 'paper shop'.

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 f...

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 l...

4th January 2024 (Saturday)    09.15 .... The car windscreens is clear, the washing I left out Shona huggin' a huge Kilbrackmont tree! overnight is flapping about in the breeze, and my breathing easier.   The sky is mostly cloudy just now, but our weather forecast for today is "sunny intervals with a gentle breeze".    There's a Yellow Warning for snow active from midnight tonight through to midday on Monday;  though I imagine it will more likely be sleet, or rain,  for us.   'Sunny Sussex' and most of the South of England is covered by an Amber Warning for snow today, so most of the UK is likely to see snow at some point over the next few days. 20.00    Although not the best of drying days the washing was nearly dry by the end of the afternoon.   Earlier in the afternoon I'd gone to Methil to annoy Alice.  We had a cuppa before going shopping.  We went to Sainsbury's they have 'everything' and are trying ...
