Beautiful start to the day ....


2nd July 2019 (Tuesday)     05.30  ..... There’s a washing in the
Elie kirk tower.
machine, and I’m having a cuppa before going out on the bike;  oh .... we have a bonnie, almost wall to wall’ bloo sky this morning, with only a light breeze just now, but that is going to freshen later making this a perfect ‘drying day’.    Must ‘go’ .... and get out and back before the roads become busy.


08.00     It is lovely out.... but the air can be chilly when the sun goes behind a cloud.    Then again.... it is early morning:  it will be much warmer in a wee while.    I went round the villages from Chapel Green to the lighthouse, .... stopping to  taking photos from my favourite viewpoints.    It was quiet;   I only met John delivering the papers, and Marcia going out with the dogs. 


.....the other side of the  Granary and Sailing Club..
12.00     It is warmer, .... a perfect day for building sand castles.    Not that I would do that.... actually why not?     I used to enjoy a good ‘beach draining ‘session that would incorporate some kind of sand castle in it.   Anyway I’ve been to Pittenweem, and Harbour House for morning coffee with the troops;  Myra and Geoff.    Brenda was i/c.... and... oh my word Brenda’s hair colour has brightened my day, and I am in a state of excitement.    I am particularly fond of oranges, though I have never cuddled one.    Now I’m thinkin’.... “I hope Brenda likes oranges”!    Otherwise ‘yours truly’ could be up tae the neck in ‘orrible stuff.  Oh, writing aboot Brenda reminds me.... we had one of Brenda's Cheese and chives scones.... they are, (like her hair), absolutely scrumptious.
20.30    It has been a gorgeous day, in fact it was too hot to work in the garden this afternoon..... luckily George dropped by and we had a cuppa while resting in the Hutte....sheltered from the midday sun;   watching the washing dry .... in the midday

sun.    That reminds me I have an ironing to do;  that will be done while watching ‘Last of the Summer Wine’;  there hasn’t been much ‘work’ done this afternoon, hence the , slightly guilty, urge to do the ironing.   
 
I’ve looked at salaries of the top ten BBC presenters;   no wonder the BBC wants the over 75’s pay for their TV licence.    Right now I’m watching the England girls play USA in the Ladies Football World Cup semi final. ... on BBC1!   Oh ,,, the USA girls have scored.... and a cracker of a goal it was.

I haven’t made a  ‘plan’ for tomorrow, but the weather forecast is good so I should get something done in the garden.

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
