Worcester Service Engineer .....

24th May 2017 (Wednesday) .... 09.00    Jings I’m feeling’ ‘hyper’ this morning;  it must be that ‘daud’ ...er ...  slice of Waitrose “Golden and Syrupy Treacle
Mara Seaweed Harvesters.
Tart” that I had with my morning cup o’ coffee.   My word ... that’s the stuff to get the auld muscles fired up!    Jim brought it down last night, but it’s too sweet for him, so I kept it for Jimmy, and me, to have with our morning cuppa in the Hutte ....  we’ll be “tearin’ aboot like heidless chickens aw day”.   (Nothing new there then!)

We have a lovely morning here;  I’ve been down on the beach, it’s lovely down there:   with the tide being ‘out’ the Mara Seaweed Harvester’s are working this morning.    It’s a braw morning for gathering seaweed but I don’t suppose they will have much time to admire the scenery:   they have a lot of seaweed to gather  before the tide turns.

I have an appointment with the Worcester Service Engineer sometime today so I’m going have to stay ‘in’ until he has been:   anytime between 08.00 and 18.00.   I will have loads o’ time to get the rhone brackets fitted!
"Beach huts doth a summer make!"
21.30     Yes .... I am liking this spell of summer weather;   it was 21c in Ivy garden this afternoon.   It is forecast to be warmer tomorrow.
The Worcester Service Engineer arrived at 11.30 .... he came down from Arbroath.    That meant I had the afternoon to do anything I fancied.   I decided to spend most of ‘the day’ working and,  .... finally got the rhone brackets in place;   tomorrow I want to seal the rhone joints with bitumen....so I most definitely do not want rain tonight.    I will use Mike’s ‘professional’ brackets once I get everything the way I want it.... i.e. the rainwater running along the rhone to the downpipe.    The professional bracket look much neater but have to be modified slightly... which takes time:   Tomorrow I want to go 'out to
The 'Royal Burgh' Boundary stone.

The ‘plan’ for tomorrow is to exit my bed early and go for the papers,...  take a turn down to the harbour, then come home via the estate, by which time I’ll be ready for breakfast.

6th October 2024 (Sunday)    "Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary"  to Brian and Moira". 09.00 .... All the Fife Weather cams are showing overcast skies.   The Anstruther cam looks the bleakest!..... the Lochgelly the least bleak.  The Easterly breeze has brought the weather in from the North Sea.... and  'sunny spells' are not mentioned in the weather forecast, but ... sometimes the sky looks promising!   It's a good day to be inside.  Luckily I, (and all the other guests), are celebrating Brian and Moira's Golden Wedding Anniversary in the Lindsay Room at Kinneuchar Castle. 10.30     It's still raining, but the sky looks promising now and again;  the sun might break though in the afternoon.  I had a walk round the patio in the light rain; very refreshing.    I'm having morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee before I start to get organised for Kinneuchar Castle. 20.30    We had a really pleasant family and friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

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
