Humid ...

1st August 2024 (Thursday)     08.15.... There's a change in the weather this morning;  with a lot

of cloud just now, and we've had a shower o' rain.   Thunder storms are forecast for most of England (Yellow Warning) including sunny Sussex.    So far Scotland is exempt from the thunder warning.   Funny how the change in weather brings a change in how we feel;  yesterday was a proper summer's day (it had to be; I wasn't wearing a jersey) and I was feeling really good.   It's warm today but  rain isn't far away by the feel of the air;  I don't know how 'you' feel, but I 'm feeling sluggish.  However I enjoyed taking the antibiotic pill this morning.... it was the last one!

14.00   That's the car had it's bits and pieces sorted;  I can relax knowing it has a new timing belt.  Not that I'm a worrier though I have known to have a 'flap on' now and again..   Michael and Janice delivered the car to Mercury Motors this morning then took the bus to Leven and had a  walk about: L  eventually doing a shopping then catching a bus back to Mercury.   Meanwhile I was taking it easy at Ivy, but have done a washing that had been accumulating in the machine.... and is now on the line.
It was 22C (shade) in the garden when I was hanging out the washing.... but it's 'mauchless'.    Not a day for me being out.
Janice and Michael are away for a daunder round the villages;   I am going to have '50'.... 'mauchless' days are good resting days.


18.00     We ended up with another lovely day;  I'm thinkin' we could get to like this kind of weather!    Michael and Janice walked the beach to 'The Ship Inn', had a refreshing drink, then back to Ivy by the beach again, (the tide was out by this time);  which is why I have beach photos today.   Michael took them!   Me?.... I had a couple of hours sleep on top of my bed.

20.00     It's a nice evening but, my word, it's warm and humid;  not a good sleeping night ahead.   I've been bringing in the washing and had to take a couple o' puffs of the bloo inhaler because it's so mauchless. 
Michael and Janice are away up to the 19th for a nightcap:  I imagine the 19th will be busy with food this benign evening.    Someone must have ordered 'fish supper' that's the aroma that was drifting across the garden.
This has been another restful day!.... however I have an early start tomorrow.   Alan (Lanchen Greig driver) is picking me up at 08.00 for a 09.00 appointment at the Victoria.

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
