Beautiful morrrrrrrning ....

1st May 2025 (Thursday)     09.15 .... I didn't wash my face in the morning dew;  but I topped up the

squirters on the car!    And I hung out a small washing:  it might, going by the look o' the sky, get an extra rinse later.

I've been for the paper, and visited the harbour:  it was absolutely stunning at the harbour, because it was so calm with the yachts reflected on the still water.   And there's an interesting sky... that probably means showers somewhere!   I'm going to have a cuppa, then get ready to pop along to Leven. 


20.30    It has been another hot (20.8C) Spring day;  but there is a cooler feel to the air now, and, according to Sean it's going to feel much colder tomorrow.   That said it has been a lovely day, albeit 'close' (same 'mauchless but easier tae spell) in the middle of the day.

The trip to Methil and Leven went as planned;  Alice was waiting for a phone call so we had to amend the plan:  she  phoned and arranged for the call to come after 15.00.   We then went to Sainsbury's and did a quick 'shopping';  then back to Alice's for lunch and coffee.   As ever nowadays the roads were very  busy:  I don;' know if that's because this is a Bank Holiday weekend (Monday), but even the garage at Colinsburgh was busier than usual.  

Back at Ivy I put the messages away, then fell asleep:   and slept for almost an hour.   That was at the hottest time of day.   In the end I decided that I'd have a 'rest afternoon';  and that is what it has been.   

As yet there's nae 'plan' for tomorrow;  I'll see how the weather is before deciding what to do.   I'm


hoping it will be warm enough in the back garden to sit out under the parasol and read my book in the afternoon.   Whether I go out on the bike depends on how windy it is... and how cold.    The forecast is 'sunny intervals with a moderate WNW breeze'.

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 ...
