Quiet morning ....


15th June 2019 (Saturday) .... 07.00     We have an “mostly overcast with a
Misty morning .... but nice.
moderate breeze from the East” beginning to the day;  in fact the sun is trying hard to burn the cloud back, so we could have sunny spells in a wee while.     It’s a nice  morning for doing things morning for doing things .... painting flagpoles for instance. 
I should also get out on the bike sometime today.
09.30    The auld villages are looking good.... and it’s a nice day to come and admire them.   I know this because that is what I did an hour ago;  went out on the bike to circumnavigate, and admire, the Centre of the Universe.     The next mission (after breakfast) will be working .... weeding etc.    I don’t think rain/showers are mentioned in the ‘KY9’ forecast for today so I might go out on the bike in the afternoon.
12.30     Myra phoned to remind me that we had a coffee morning in the kirk hall.... so that is where I spent the morning.    Drinking tea and chatting.    Oh and I won one of the raffle prizes .... a box of After Dinner mints.    This was the annual Episcopal Church ‘CM’. ... sometimes known as ‘Brenda’s Coffee Morning’.   

Shower cloud heading our way.
I’m having a ‘lit bite’ lunch before I attack the work ... I might even have ‘50’.  I have been on the go since just before 06.00.... and I do feel drowsy.   Yes I think ‘50’ is called for... my eyelids keep going into sleep mode.
17.00     My eyelids have had a good hours rest and are now flapping like a pair of humming bird wings:  maybe not quite as fast as that, but they’re operational again.     I managed to do a wee bit of weeding then it began to spit rain.... just as I was contemplating going up to Balcarres on the bike.   We’ve had a fairly heavy shower pass over us so Balcarres is off for today.    Before I started typing I browsed through the TV channels and have found what must be the most boring of all programmes ... the Le Mans 24 race.   Right now they have 22hours 11minutes and  48 seconds to go.   I’ll go back onto this channel in
Plagiarised  poppy from Sussex.

 22 hours to see who wins..... maybe.    It isn’t  being broadcast for the whole 24 hours ..... now that would be really boring.
18.00    The showers have disrupted any plan I might have had for going out on the bike in the evening.....though I might go to the beach.    I’m hoping the showers die out overnight.    It has been a ‘no bad’ day but not how it should be coming up to the summer solstice.

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...
