Lovely Autumn morning ....

20th August 2024 (Tuesday)     08.00 .... The rain has moved away and there's a braw, Autumnal,

feel to the air this bright and breezy morning.   Showers are mentioned in our weather forecast.... (nothing new there) ....but it's going to be mostly sunny but cool in the brisk SW breeze.   After the long day we had yesterday I'm going to have a quiet day.   I must remember to hand in my prescription this morning.... and I might do some light 'ousework;  but mostly this is going to be a rest day.  

14.30    As my 'rest days' go this has been a cracker!    As planned I went to Elie and handed in my prescription.... (forgot the paper).... visited the 'arbour, then came home by way of Kinneuchar.   I then sorted out the photographs I'd taken....and fell asleep in front of the computer.   The 'Master Plan' for today was going to be baking scones having bought the ingredients yesterday.   That 'plan' has been put off until tomorrow.    Obviously yesterday activities, although I didn't do anything, took more out of me than I thought.   However I am feeling a bit mair active now.


While I have been 'resting', Gerry and the Team have not;  they are making amazing progress with reinstating the garden.... and  making a really lovely job of it;  as I expected they would.  It's a lovely day for getting the main part of the garden  done.   This work is being done and paid for by Rural Developments (Gerry), in return for being able to use the garden, more or less as a work site, while working on Ferry Lodge.  I'll take photographs when it's all done and dusted.  In the meantime I'm going to have an 'early afternoon coffee'.   


20.30    We had a couple of showers later in the afternoon.... but, luckily, they were only short lived things.   It's the drop in temperature that is more noticeable tonight;  definitely Autumnal!    It will a more comfortable  temperature for sleeping that's for sure.

I did say that this was going to be a 'lazy' day;  and it has been.   I chatted to the builders who have been working really hard all day.   Meanwhile I have had one of the laziest days ever:  I assume it was taking in everything I was being told  yesterday;  it certainly wasn't muscular effort!   
The Paddock's housing development, Colinsburgh.


Tomorrow is going to start sunny but there's a chance of light rain showers moving in by early afternoon.   We've certainly had our fair share of rain this summer!    I'm thinking tomorrow could be the day to make scones.   On Thursday 'The Team' , Kirsty, Myra, George and Alber', are going to the 19th for lunch.

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

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
