Lovely morning ....

12th June 2025 (Thursday)    08.45 .... We have 'bright and breezy' morning (I'm feeling brighter

and breezier too).   The breeze, though from the ESE, is warm because it's coming from North Africa and Spain:  so it will be a good drying day.... which is handy, because I have a washing going through the machine.   The garden thermometer is showing 15.3 C just now.

21.00   The Air India airliner crashing, just after taking off and loaded with fuel, (which exploded in a fireball), has been the shocking and sad 'News' today;  my thoughts are with the families, and friends, of all who have lost loved ones in this disaster.   The single passenger who miraculously survived, and walked away, from the crash and fireball, is one lucky gentleman;  like the three sailors that survived the magazine explosion, and sinking of HMS Hood in the second World War.   

I've feeling better today.... not 'bright eyed and bushy tailed' but on the mend, though it might take a wee while yet.     I've managed to do some more weeding so have been reasonably busy;  but I'm pacing myself nowadays.    Although I have my three meals a day;  the only one I liked was the porridge for breakfast.  I thought I'd try a Tunnock's Caramel Wafer with my morning coffee, but it was tasteless too.

The top photo (flag on the 3rd Green) tells me that we have a brisk East wind.   The fact that I couldn't see the Glenfuir Union Flag, also tells me we have a brisk East wind.   Actually it was a really brisk in the afternoon .... F4 -5 out in the bay.  Even so, it was quite warm, 19.9C  at one point in the middle of the afternoon.   It certainly was a good drying wind.

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 ...
