Dream? .....


3rd September 2018 (Monday) .... 08.00     Hmmm .... it is wet and
Not sunny.... with Scotch mist.
windy;  ‘dreich’.   Not a morning for the beach.    However the weather is forecast to improve after midday, and we could end up with a nice evening.

I had a horrible dream nightmare last night;  I was having coffee with Mrs ... oops;  Lady Thatcher, in Harbour House.    Jings I don’t know where that came from.     I remember complimenting her on her hair colour ... which was plum.    I then woke up.... not quite screamin’ but in a state of shock.

15.00     The weather remains ‘iffy’ but I do detect a brightening of the Western sky;  a serious brightness,.... I think we could soon have a ‘sunny spell’.     I haven’t been out for a walk yet, but I did go up for the paper... and morning coffee in Harbour House.   In the car.    I then went up to Kinneuchar with a view to getting some wet look photographs... but it was too wet to leave the car.   I’ll go for a daunder to the beach when the sun does break through.


19.30     So much for the lovely evening I was looking forward too;  the weather has been miserable for most of the day.... and still is.     When the sky brightened up for a while in the afternoon I went to the beach, but the light rain off the North Sea started again so I gave up any idea of a walk.     What I did do was open BBC i- player and watch last night’s episode of ‘Bodyguard’.   It has been a good day for playing on the computer.   The sky is brightening up from the West as I type so it should be a better
Overcast and wet .... but bonnie just the same.
day tomorrow.    What am I going to do tomorrow?    So far I haven’t a ‘plan’, but, if it is sunny first thing I’ll get going early.   If it looks like being a really nice day I’ll do some painting. 
  
I’m almost feart to go to my bed tonight.... in case I end up having another ‘Thatcher nightmare’.    Oh my word that was scary.   
Oh... I fitted the new ‘doughnut’ thing to the cistern, but forgot to tighten up the butterfly nuts so there was water all over the place again.    The bathroom floor has been dried, the butterfly screws tightened up..... but I’m feart tae turn the water on in case it’s still leaking!    I’m just a ‘bag o’ nerves’.    Actually I cannot understand how the water gets into the siphon thing to leak out in the first place.    It’s all exciting stuff in Ivy just now.  


20.00   I’ve just spotted my first piece of blue sky today;   it’s going to be braw tomorrow!

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
