Feeling productive ....


20th November 2019 (Wednesday)      09.00 .... At the moment the sky is
New roundabout work in progress.
heavily overcast but at least it’s not raining and rain isn’t mentioned in today’s weather forecast for ‘KY9’, so it looks like we’re in for another grey day with a cool (but not frosty), breeze/wind off the Southeast.    It might be a computer day for me.... though I am feeling more frolicsome –ish than I have of late. 
 

17.00    Exciting things are happening up at Elie;   we’re getting a new roundabout, and a pedestrian crossing and it’s all happening just outside Harbour House;  I nearly had to have two cups o’ coffee.... it’s a long time since we’ve had so much  entertainment.     I hope it’s one of those pedestrian crossing with a button;  I’m good with buttons.    There is a set of temporary traffic lights in operation to keep the traffic flowing smoothly:  but it seems some drivers are not all that keen on smooth;  which adds an unknown factor into the whole set up. 
Elie Bay this afternoon.    Interesting sky!
Oh I have been for the papers and morning coffee with ‘The Troops’, and after that I went to Leven to get a few things, but didn’t visit Jim:  I’ll do that on Friday.   The weather has been grey and dour all day and not at all inspiring;  there’s no doubt the place to be is in ‘arbour ‘ouse watching the ‘goings on’ at the bottom of Park Place.   I did go for a wee tour in the car after lunch but it wasn’t really pleasant being out though at least it got me some exercise and fresh air.
19.00    Tomorrow?    Hmmm ... well we have the ongoing roadworks outside ‘arbour
Earlsferry from Chapel Green.
‘ouse;  that will be a bit of light entertainment.    The weather is forecast to be a repeat of today’s, perhaps slightly warmer.... so not much to look forward too there.   It’s the wind coming from the East, and bringing in ‘stuff’ from the North Sea that’s the problem;  but then again it is November.    It looks like I will be pottering about with the computer again;  at least that is keeping the brain active.   I think I deserve a cuppa.... and I might even have a scrabble about in the ‘Emergency Rations’ tin.

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
