Quiet, autumnal morning ....

9th September 2024 (Monday)     "Happy Lilacs Wedding Anniwersary"  to 'The Boss'.   I hope

to have have morning coffee at chapel Green on our 63rd anniversary.... if sun breaks through and the temperature rises a bit!   And.... "Happy 63rd ... oops... Birthday" to Mirabel, formerly of the Craw's Nest.... who was born on our wedding day.

08.30 .... it's a bonnie, peaceful, autumnal morning;  at the moment it's a chilly autumnal morning but, once the sun breaks through the light cloud, it should be pleasantly warm .... well, a bit warmer!   I'm looking for an Indian Summer now!   

16.15    I have had a quiet day  after the exciting day we had yesterday.   Today I caught up with some paperwork that had to be done;  car Road Tax etc.   The car is  due it's MOT on 4th October so  that will have to be organised in the next few days.... and renew the Insurance.

It has been too cold for morrrrrrrning coffee Chapel Green but it was cosy on the patio!  I'm going to have a cuppa then have a walk down to Nana's Seat for some exercise, but I'll be glad to get back on the bike.   The auld knee bone isn't overly fond of exercise nowadays.

21.00     The wind has freshened and we're to have 'light rain' overnight so a wildish night ahead:  however the rain is to fade away by morning, to leave us with 'strong winds (F6) and sunny intervals'.  Could be a good drying day.

I had a walk to the beach in the afternoon, but it was spitting rain at the time so I didn't linger.

The pensioners Winter Payment fiasco continues to rumble on.   As far as I'm concerned if we can afford to be in NATO and have our own 'Nuclear Deterrent' we can afford to pay the winter heating allowance;  aye... even to the pensioners who don't need it;  they can give it to charity if they so wish.

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
