Nice fresh morning ....

25th June 2025 (Wednesday)    08.30 .... We have a lovely, fresh morning.... "sunny intervals with a

moderate breeze" being today's forecast for KY9.   I haven't an 'action plan' for today but, .... I might clean the windows in the afternoon.  Right now it's breakfast time. 

12.00    I decided to go for the paper, go down to the harbour  then home by way of Balbuthie and Kinneuchar.   It's a lovely day... and warm.   I was ready for a 'cold snap', but that never happened.  I was glad to get home and cool orf.   I got my usual batch of photographs to 'play' with in the evening;  I've a funny feeling I will fall asleep in the afternoon. 

19.00    The sky has clouded over but most of today has been sunny ....and warm;  in fact it was humid (mauchless) in the afternoon.   I've had a reasonably active day;  with a good siesta in the afternoon.  Late in the afternoon I went to 'The Store'  (Co-op, Ainster), something to keep me occupied.   Shopping wasn't a vital necessity, but I wanted to go out somewhere.   I bought a few bits and pieces  and came home by the Kellie Castle Arncroach road for a change of scenery.   Normally that road is a relaxing drive:  but it was busy today.   

The countryside is looking really bonnie just now;  "Forty shades of green" right enough!  I eventually drifted back to Ivy;  well ready for a cuppa.    On the way into Ainster (Anstruther) I met a huge tractor with a long trailer;  right at the 'Buckie Hoose' corner.   We all got through and the tractor must have got going again, because I met it in Kinneuchar on the way home.   It was one of the biggest tractors I've seen on the road.    Then again it did have a big trailer which made it a 'Long Vehicle'.... and it was a 'Long Vehicle'.

21.00    The East Neuk villages are beginning to fill up with holiday makers;  and we still have camper vans going round Earlsferry looking for 'Elie Caravan Park'.   That must rank as one of the stupidest marketing ploys ever.    A bit like Trump changing the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.  

I've had a funny old day:  my mood has been a bit like the weather.... changeable.   There's a feel of rain

in the air this evening;  which is not surprising as 'light rain is forecast overnight through to tomorrow morning.... then turning showery with sunny intervals and a fresh breeze tomorrow.    We're going to the Leven Golfing Society for lunch, that's a big change in venue for us.   It will be a change of scenery too .... depending on the road Kirsty chooses to take on the way home.    A Kirsty Mystery Tour.

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 ...
