Nice morning....

15th July 2025 (Tuesday)    08.00 .... After a bright ,sunny start to the morning, clouds are starting


to lumber in from the ESE.   "Light rain with a moderate breeze" is forecast for the middle part of the day,  clearing to sunny spells in the late afternoon and evening.   There's a nice fresh feeling  to the air;  cooler  than it has been lately, but not cold.   A pleasant start to the day.   

11.45 .... I went to Elie to take a few photos of the Toft, and the harbour at low tide to give me something to 'play' with if rain does come our way.   We had a few spits and spots at 11.00 but that was just the edge of a heavy shower cloud, and didn't come to anything.    Anyway... where was I?    Ah ... taking photographs from the Toft and harbour!

I couldn't believe it when I saw the two boys on their bikes.   In asked the two ladies accompanying them, if it was OK to take a photo, of the boys going down the Toft;  that was fine.   If you've been watching 'le Tour you will have seen the  advert with three boys, on similar bikes. that introduces the beginning of 'le Tour coverage.  It is so cute.... as were the two boys, "burning off energy" Mum said!... on the way to the harbour.   Absolutely brilliant.   The photo was taken long before the Toft gets busy;  and the 'girls' were 'keeping a sharp lookout' and definitely 'in control'.  I certainly enjoyed  my trip out;  as did the boys!   And the girls too!   It's good, meeting and chatting to  folk enjoying Elie.... and Earlsferry. 

20.00    I've been busy on this afternoon, though I didn't get out on the scooter, or bike.   The weather was a bit iffy for the scooter, and I had stuff to do on the computer.   I was 'up' early this morning and was really tired after lunch.... and had a long siesta in the afternoon.   I actually watched an interesting, hour long programme by David Attenborough about bats, without falling asleep;  started watching something else (can't even remember what)  and fell asleep for nearly an hour.   I enjoyed myself with the camera this morning.   That reminds me I still have some of this morning photographs to 'sort'.

21.30    Michael and Janice are coming up on the 23rd July;  I'm looking forward to seeing them again.  That said I'd better switch to 'Flap On' mode for a few days.   Got some 'ooverin' and dustin' to do.   I'll come up with a 'plan of action' tomorrow.    

What am I doing tomorrow?   The weather forecast for tomorrow  is "sunny intervals with a gentle
breeze" so that's good":  but there is a low chance of precipitation in the morning.   That's not so good because I was going to go out early  on the Mobility Scooter:  "The best laid schemes o' mice, men and Alberto, gang aft agley", now and again.

It's 'orlicks time;  and I need to find a book to read in bed!

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 ...
