Nice morning ....

24th May 2025 (Saturday)    08.45 .... We have a bright morning after the overnight rain;  in fact

it's a pleasant start to the holiday weekend;  the forecast is 'breezy with sunshine and showers'.   The sun is breaking to give us a day of  'sunny intervals and showers'.   Plan for today? ....I'm looking forward to  a 'rest day', and enjoying of one of the  sunny intervals  having morning coffee at the patio table.

11.45    Although breezy it's warm (19.8) and I enjoyed 'morrrrrrrning coffee outside.   So far, the showers have passed by, but the threat is still there.   Actually, if the wind drops later I might get the bike out because it isn't a chilly wind.   I can see the 'Glenfuir' Union Flag almost fully stretched so that is a frisky breeze (F3 - 4).   Actually I'll have a walk down to Ferry Corner to take a few photographs.

20.00    I've had a quiet day;  the hardest work I did was make sausages and mash for dinner!   It has been a lovely warm day;   the temperature reached 21.6C in the middle of the afternoon.   Anne came round in the afternoon, when it was nice and warm, and told me that a close member of the family had died.   My thoughts and prayers are with Anne, Bob and family at this sad time.   We sat at the patio table and chatted;  and Anne boosted my tub watering status by telling me she thought I was an excellent tub 'waterer'.   I think she based that on the fact that the plants were 'stood staunin' upright!    

In the afternoon I watched the Scottish Cup Final (not something I often do).  I'm glad I did because, against all odds, Aberdeen won!...with a penalty shoot out.  The score after 120 minutes being 1 - 1. 

Gromit, who was a Rangers supporter this morning, is wearing his 1990  Aberdeen scarf.

22,45    It's raining so I won't have to water the tubs tomorrow.   I am  liking this overnight rain.


















 during the night!

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 ...
