Sunny and warm .....

28th August 2024 (Wednesday)    08.15 .... It's sunny, with an almost wall to wall blue sky this


morning;  and the first of a few days of brighter weather (with showers now and again).   According to the the weather forecast;  we to have a lovely, sunny weekend!    Anyway we have a lovely sunny morning to enjoy;  I might just take a turn round the Ferry on the bike:  I'm allowed on th bike as long as I don't overdo it... and have the proper seat.   Which I have.

22.00    Well I've had a busy day;  in fact I have probably done to much.   Tomorrow will be a proper 'rest day'.   Alice is coming along on the bus so, apart from meeting her off the bus and taking her back to the bus stop late in the afternoon I'll just unwind and try to relax.
I was feeling really good this morning and that of course is the problem.   When I feel good I tend to do things.   Today I did a washing, washed the bathroom lobby and kitchen floors and swept up leaves at the front door.    Normally that would be a dawdle but not now.   However I am slowly learning to do the harder over a few days.   I've got the time!


Later in the afternoon , while it was raining,  I went to the Store to do some shopping .   It's a tricky  adapting to older age and the inability to do things as before.   At least I didn't go out on the bike;  that is a no go until I'm back to 'normal'.
Tomorrow is going to be another bonnie day.... in fact bonnier than today because, although there will be the chance of showers in the afternoon, there won't be many of them.
I'll try to get up early for the paper and have a run to the harbour before The Toft gets busy.

I made an appointment with Lorraine  and get my haircut at 09.30 on Tuesday.   Lexie was having her hair done when I was in making the appointment:  Lexie reminded me that the 'Lite Bite' lunch is at Colinsburgh next Wednesday.   I must remember to go to that, and catch up with the Colinsburgh news.   Now that I am getting back to 'normal' I must visit George (Mackie Housing) .... I might do that after I get my haircut on Tuesday!


After a busy day I should have a good night's sleep:  but I must get the hang o' pacing myself with the
jobs I want to do.   That said I felt really good this morning.... and that is why I overdid it.

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
