Car key mislaid .... and found


6th November 2018 (Tuesday) .... 08.30     I’ve had my fix of Royal
Elie Bay this morning.
oxygen, and that has me feeling friskier than I was yesterday, though the ability to actually be frisky is harder!    We have a misty, and damp start to the morning, but should get a few sunny spells by mid morning.   
 Rain is forecast for tonight and tomorrow morning.
I am a frustrated boy this morning;   I’ve mislaid the car key.   The only thing I know is that it must be in Ivy;   because the car is at the door and locked up.    Normally when I mislay something they are hanging on the wrong hook;  not this time.   It will be somewhere stupid.    Must go ...’slight flap on’ .... I’m hungry.
09.30     The car key has been found... accidentally, because I wisnae looking for it.   I went to get a fresh battery for the camera and found the key in the camera bag;  finding the key surprised me;   but when I think of it, finding it in the camera bag did

not.   Oh well .... I’ll have a cuppa to celebrate.
16.00    I’ve had a mixed kind of day so far;  did some computer stuff, then some ‘ousework... and finally took time out to go to Woodhaven recycling place:   when there I walked over to the Lady’s Tower.   It was quite blowy out there, and cold, ... it certainly blew the cobwebs away.    I’m missing my morning coffee at Harbour House;  this might explain why I’m feeling ‘under the weather’.    Actually at one point I felt like I was walking on two balloons, not a bad feeling .... but strange.    I’m assuming it was caused by my sair knee.
22.30     I’m looking forward to morning coffee in Harbour House tomorrow;   and a decent cheese scone.    The weather forecast for tomorrow is slightly ‘iffy’;   rain early turning to ‘showers with sunny spells’.... actually that would be better written as “sunny spells with showers”.    Emphasising the ‘sunny spells’.   I might go shopping after lunch... it all depends on how I’m feeling.    I like to feel unconquerable when

shopping.
Jim and I had an interesting evening talking about Earlsferry’s industrial past... of which there is little sign now;  some of the fairway names on the golf course are clues.

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
