Bonnie morrrrrrrrrrning .....


13th May 2019 (Monday) .... 09.00    I had a catastrophe last night;  the
Balcarres Crag from Colinsburgh.
laptop I was using decided to take a rest.... the screen went blank, and everything stopped.    I have had to resurrect the ‘Acer’, which is a good laptop, but has a small screen and is not as good as the one that stopped working.   Anyway I am back online and a happy bunny.    I don’t know if I could cope with not being able to chat to my online friend via the Hutte, and Facebook.

We have a gorgeous morning  here, so I intend doing some work in the garden;  and taking time out for a daunder up to Chapel Green.    I have yet to order an e-bike but I will do that sometime today.
The beach at midday from Nana's Seat.

 16.30    My word .... ordering an E-bike is a tricky business:   actually I’m wrong in saying that.    Because I don’t spend money, in big quantities, the sudden spending of a large sum had the bank thinking of fraud, so it was blocked.   After a few phone calls the card was unblocked and the e-bike has been ordered.   I appreciate the Bank taking precautions;  it’s good to know that they are ‘on the ball’.    Anyway the e-bike is in the pipeline... though it will take a few days before it is delivered:  I don’t even know where it is coming from.
A lot of my time, this afternoon, has been spent on the laptop.... but I have also done some weeding.   Weeding can be done blindfolded in Ivy garden;   they are the predominant green things in the garden.   Actually some of have a bonnie yellow flower..... that turns into delicate fluffy seed head.  I also managed to take ‘time out’ and have a browse of the beach from Nana’s seat.   All is good.

 20.00    It has been a lovely day;  18c in the garden at one time.   According to the
Earlsferry beach at midday.
weather forecast it is going to be even warmer on Tuesday and Wednesday.    I have enjoyed ‘today’, even though it was frustrating trying to get the e-bike ordered.     I’ve had an e-mail to say that it will be delivered in five days;  that, most likely, means the beginning of next week.  
I see on the ‘News’ that Doris Day has died:    she was my ‘dream girl’ when I was sixteen!     Those were the ‘good young days’.  
 
With tomorrow being forecast to be another bonnie day, I will spend more time in the garden, and less on the computer.

Overcast with light rain .....

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...

The morning after 'Storm Eowyn' ....

25th  January 2025 (Saturday)     08.30 .....  Well .... that was one frisky wind yesterday Candlelight evening....Unfortunately not a romantic one! afternoon;   from 14.30 to 17.30 it was absolutely ferocious.    And I got some damage at Ivy Cottage;  a ridge tile blew off, slid down the roof and broke the rhone (guttering I thinks it's called now) so that will have to be repaired.  A Red Warning of wind means damage and that's what we have;  not only at Ivy but at other places around Elie and Earlsferry.... and over the whole area of the red Warning.   I only hope no one was injured by stuff being blown around in the wind.    It's the worst wind I have ever experienced in Earlsferry.   I have never felt so useless .... and helpless.    My neighbour Mathew came round to see if I was OK.... which I really appreciated;  I enjoyed talking to him.... it calmed me down a bit.  ...
