Hmmmmm .... feeling skittish


7th June 2018 (Thursday) .... 09.00    It’s overcast, with a cool breeze (East)
Two of the competitors in the Scottish Women's Championship.
this morning, though it will brighten up when the sun gets going.    There isn’t  that “get up and go” feel in the air this morning.... probably because the sun hasn’t broken through the clouds yet.    I haven’t been for the paper yet.... I haven’t been anywhere actually, because I slept ‘in’.   Orf to have another cuppa;  during which I’ll come up with a ‘plan’.... and scoff a biccie.
20.30     It’s been another lovely, but cool in the East wind, day.... and I’ve been a busy bunny.    I took the car up to Colinsburgh to top it up with fuel, then came down to Elie for the paper and a coffee in Harbour House.    I arrived at Harbour House just as everyone was about to leave;  however I had my coffee with Jean Gardner and her son
Thrift.
Robert.... who come along from Cellardyke for Morning Coffee in Elie now and again.    Anyway we had a guid blether, and I found out that Jean is M’s (in NZ) cousin, and that her husband (sadly deceased) was Lexie’s cousin:    it’s a sma’ world right enough.


When I got back to Ivy I decided to go and get a few photographs of a few of the competitors in the Scottish Women’s Golf Championship that is being played over Earlsferry Links this week.   I went up to my favourite place, near the tenth green, with Kincraig cliffs in the background.      By the time I was back in Ivy I only had time for a quick ‘lite bite lunch’ before going along to the Drop in Cafe.

It is Stuart’s 90th birthday today, so we had cake with our tea/ coffee at the Cafe,.... and it was busy, so a really happy afternoon.    It was announced that Elinor is taking
Birthday cake.
part in a Moon Walk in aid of Cancer Research, and you could donate via sponsorship or donation.    I gave a donation, before bumbling off home via Balbuthie and Kinneuchar.

I had a browse of the photographs I took this morning, and I am well pleased with the results.    Actually I might go back there tomorrow and get a few more photos of the Thrift.... if the weather is fine.    I’ve just checked the forecast and it is good, ... ‘sunny spells with a cool easterly breeze’, a replay of today.... more or less.

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

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
