Nice morning ....

28th May 2025 (Wednesday)     08.45 .... There's a moderate breeze from the West bringing a fresh

feeling air this morning;  with pollen for the hay fever sufferers;  and rain later in the afternoon.   

I didn't wake up until 07.45 so missed the early start I had planned, and I haven't got round to thinking of what I want to do;  but have put the a washing on.   I've had breakfast, now I'm ready for my first cuppa of the day.   Sleepin' in is a bit of a bummer.

14.30    I went up for the paper in the morning... and completely forgot about the paper:  it was an good morning for the camera and I was thinking 'Harbour' when I reached Elie.   It's good job I wasn't thinking Sunny Sussex!   Anyway I eventually reached the harbour, having stopped at the Toft on the way down.    I'd intended stopping at the 'paper shop' on the way home, but was thinking Kinneuchar by this time, and came home by the Balbuthie road.    It's no' easy being 'me'.   Kinneuchar is definitely a 'green village!..... as you can see from the photo.

Since then I have had a migraine so now in resting mode.   With an ice cream!   And a cuppa.

19.30    When I went to hang out a washing this morning, I found a small parcel in 'The Hutte' addressed to a lady in Ivy Cottage, Colinsburgh.   I finished hanging out the washing, then, made another cuppa, and pondered the situation.   In the end I went into the Colinsburgh and Kinneuchar Community FB page and put a short message on it.   Although I know Colinsburgh well I did n't  know where the Colinsburgh 'Ivy Cottage' was.    But just to show that FB does have it's good points, the lady to whom the parcel was addressed replied to my comment, to say that she would pick up said package, "would I be in, in the afternoon"?   I'd just had a migraine so the answer to that was a positive 'yes'.   The package was uplifted about 25 minutes later.   And I continued to 'nurse' the migraine.
It has been a lovely day... and warm;  20.3C this afternoon.   Although the wind was annoying I had
afternoon coffee at the patio table.  Rain is forecast overnight so I won't water the tubs;  actually, when I look at them they appear to prefer the rain water anyway.... so overnight rain is welcome.   It's supposed to be fairly heavy for a few hours, but should have cleared away by the mid morning.

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 ...
