Fresh morning .....

 

30th August 2020 (Sunday)     07.00 .... It’s a lovely morning with a nice


fresh feel to the air;  7c on the garden thermometer.   Once the sun is higher, the air warmer ... and after an early breakfast I’ll go for the paper.   I think another cuppa wouldn’t go amiss right now.

09.00    The sun is warm ... I just have to go out to play (again) later.    I’ve been for the paper now I need to wash the lobby, bathroom and kitchen floors to salve my conscience then I can .... ‘play’. 

It’s such a beautiful morning that I went out to the lighthouse for a change of scenery this morning;  my word it was the effort.   Very peaceful out there..... with one or two wild campers enjoying the perfect spot to spend this holiday weekend.   I’d have mooched a cuppa but I didn’t see anyone with a kettle ‘on’

A small part of the beach this afternoon.

12.00    I watched the Church Service by Rev Douglas Creighton this morning (it’s online for the next few days) so .... on my way up to Chapel Green, to tell ‘The Boss’ how much work I have done this morrrrrrrrrrrrning..... I shall post my vote.  It’s a warm and sunny day now and a seat in the sun up at Chapel Green will be enjoyable.   I am remembering the Tesco delivery this afternoon.

16.30    The Tesco delivery has been ...... delivered ....  and everything put away in the various cupboards.    Chapel Green, (and the beach) was busy when I  went out to post my (Top Secret) vote for our new Minister.     Rev Creighton used the word ‘Community’ in his service;  and was not just referring to folks that attend the kirk.   The new Minister (if Rev Creighton is accepted) is a 'doing' person and would wish  the congregation to ‘work’ for the kirk/ community.    Lucky that I have a Blue Inhaler for allergies.   Finally.... why do Ministers, Doctors, Nurses, Policemen all look so young?.... instead of being old folk as I remember them!

18.00    My word I am shattered;   this has been the first weekend of the Tour de France,

Canoeists going through the trinq.

and, it has been the stiffest two Stages at the beginning of the race for a long time...with long, stiff climbs on both.   No wonder I’m tired.   The scenery has been fantastic, around Nice, on the first stages.   Tomorrow we leave Nice and make for Sisteron;  198 kilometres over what is classified as a ‘flat’ route taking us inland.

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
