Feeling contented .....

13th October 2017 (Friday) ... 09.00    We, who live in the East Neuk of Fife, have a good, mixed, bundle of weather this morning, but at least it’s warm!    It

was raining when I poked my head ‘ower the gate’ at 06.00;   I went back to bed and got up at 07.30.... by this time the cloud had broken up and it looked promising;  however that changed, and, now, as I type,  it’s not raining, but is overcast and breezy ... with a serious ‘rainy look’ towards the West .... from whence our weather is coming.   I’m not going back to bed.
21.00    My only sortie ‘out’ today has been to go up to Elie for the paper.... I haven’t been down to the beach at all today.    I did get myself organised for the beach after lunch, then discovered that, the rain, which had stopped ...  had  started again.   Being
Elie.
that I was in a ‘working’ mood I decided to clean the windows on the inside;    I’d do the outsides when the rain went off.    As it happened the rain didn’t last long so I got both sides, inside and outside, of one of the kitchen windows done.   Luckily, just as I was beginning to weaken, Linda arrived, and made a mug o’ coffee.   We caught up with each other’s news, then Jimmy dropped in so we got his news too. 

Oh my word .... the ‘boys’ have a busy schedule tomorrow morning;  we have Crane Out at the harbour (it starts before 09.00)... and there’s a Coffee Morning in Earlsferry Town Hall, .... it starts at 10.00.    Having to ‘plan’ for more than one event per day is
The beacon, Earlsferry.
highly stressful.   And, oh dearie me I have windows to clean ... er ... it, would be a good ‘plan’ for me to get the camera organised tonight!    The weather forecast for tomorrow looks like being much the same as it was today ... minus the rain.    What.... no rain?    No, that can’t be.  

Calumn (my former apprentice at the ‘Craw’s) phoned today to say that he is back in the country after much travelling, all over the globe, with his work.    I think he’s been on every continent in the last 12 months.    I’m looking forward to having a good old catch up with him.... and Karen.

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 f...

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 l...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
