Calm morning ....



31st October 2019 (Thursday)     07.30 ....  Wellll;   I got ‘up’ at my
Pitching on to the 17th green.
normal time to find that we have a calm morning .... I might get the bike out later:  that said I’m no’ iggzactly feeling frightfully frisky.... but friskier than I was yesterday.   This could be another bumble around quietly day I’m thinkin’.   I haven’t been anywhere further that the gate but we do have a nice start to the day.   Tomorrow and Saturday are going to be wet and not biking days.... so I’ll have to get the bike out sometime today.   

  12.00     The desire to eat is on me today so I must be on the mend.   I haven’t been anywhere but I have organised dinner;  sausages, mash and vegetables.  So far today I have done some work on the computer, had a quick look at the ‘News’ on the tele, and contemplated getting the bike out for a quick turn round ‘The Ferry’    I might do that after a lite bite lunch.....nothing much for lunch, because I am really looking forward to dinner.   I have a suspicion that dinner might be early tonight.

15.00   With it being a ‘nae bad’ afternoon I went out on the bike;  the intention being to have a turn round The Ferry, but I extended it to the whole of the Grand Tour:   I have been feeling friskier as the day wore on, and I did need the exercise, as did the bike.  I saw a few strangers wandering around, but the villages looked quieter than they have been of late..... it must be coming up to the end of the school holidays.   Must ‘go’... “ever so slight flap on”... I forgot to make myself a cuppa when I came in.
19.00     Having been a more active boy today I am also a tired one.   That reminds me I need to go to the Charity shop and get a few bedtime books;  I finished ‘1984’ last night, so I need to find one for tonight.
The sausages and mash I had for dinner was very tasty.... and I was starving’ having not eaten properly for a couple of days.   Depending on how I feel I might visit Jim tomorrow.... after another early night in bed I be feeling mair normal again.   I’ll do
Autumnal looking Kinneuchar.
some computer stuff, Skype ‘M’, do another bit work then orf to bed.   That said I have still to find a book to read.

The sky was changing when I was out not long ago... different kind of clouds scuttling over so I guess the rain is moving our way.    I don’t think the rain is going to be overly heavy tomorrow;  Saturday is supposed to have heavy 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 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
