HM Queen's Platinum Jubilee ....

 

2nd June 2022 (Thursday)    05.30 .... it’s a cracker o’ a


mornin’....  and the weather forecast is good for the whole day;  a good drying day so there’s a washing going though the machine.    I’m going ‘roond the villages’ before the traffic gets busy;  after another cuppa.

19.30    I had perfect weather for my early morning run round the villages ....and it was warm.   At that time the light breeze was from the West.     Myra invited ‘The Team’ up for morning coffee and it was really pleasant sitting outside;  in fact it was almost too warm.   We enjoyed coffee, biscuits and a catch up chat.... and met Shona, Myra’s neighbour.  

Back at Ivy I had lunch then pottered around the garden, before falling asleep in The Hutte.    I accidentally showered at 04.30 thinking it was 05.30 so I’ve had a long .... and enjoyable day.

 Earlsferry Guided walk.
Graham was taking the Earlsferry History Society Guided walk in the afternoon so I went down to get a few shots of the start of the walk.  Nine people turned up for what is an interesting ‘walk’ round the historically interesting Royal Burgh....with Graham pointing out and describing  many interesting facts about the buildings, and notable residents that have lived in, and created the history of the old Royal Burgh.


My intention was to go to the harbour and see the lighting of the Beacon at the end of the pier, but the wind is from the east so too cold for the bike.... and the car park at the harbour will be busy. So I’ll miss that event;  actually my early morning start has caught up with me.  

21.00   Myra is ‘working’ at the History Society Exhibition tomorrow afternoon so


I’ll bumble along to have a browse round.   I’ll need to get ‘money’ (as in notes and coins) ‘cos I haven’t been using money for a long time now.   I think it’s donation for the Exhibition.

I think it’s chocolate time;  I’m well ready for my bed tonight:  and I won’t be showering at 04.30 tomorrow morning.

Pittenweem swimming pool....

20th September 2017 (Wednesday) ... 13.30    When I went along to Elie for the papers this morning, I got slightly diverted and ended up along at the old Pittenweem tidal swimming pool.  Pittenweem  swimming pool.    Unfortunately we have a, mostly overcast, with occasional spits and spots of rain, morning.     I must go back on a ‘bright and  sunny’ morning... this will show up the different colours of the sandstone rocks etc better.    It is an interesting spot, and would have been busy in the 1930’s , 40’s and 50’s.        20.30     My day has been spent pottering around Ivy... including baking a batch of wholemeal scones.    Note to self .... I must remember to freeze some of them this time;  rather than feed them to Blob and his pals.     It has been a grey and sometimes damp day;  not a day for bumbling about outside.    The ‘cold’ that I had last night didn’t come to anything.... I must have been tired after Solid infrastructure at Pittenweem swimming pool. my wand

Nice morning ....

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 lunch!   And it was a really good lun

Cold and overcast ....

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
