Frisky .Boy' ....

2nd August 2020 (Sunday)     06.30 ..... The roads are damp so we’ve

North Berwick Law.
had a shower o’ rain and it looks like we could have another one soon, however they should faze out once the sun gets going.    I’ll go for the paper once I’ve had a cuppa.... and checked the Weather Cams.

10.00    The sky has cleared and we have a lovely fresh day now.    I went to Elie for the paper then browsed my way round the villages on the way home;   now I’m ready to work.    Work? .... no no no .... this is a ‘play day’;  once the bike battery is charged up.    I will do one thing in the garden when the battery is charging;  cut back the Clematis:  It’s thinking of taking over Earlsferry!   It grows faster than the weeds.   Probably is a weed where it comes from.

16.30     Oh my word .... we have one tired boy in Ivy.   As I threatened to do, I actually did a bit of pruning to the Clematis.... but .... got ever so slightly fed up of that job,  and decided to begin tidying up the Hutte.    You’ll notice I said ‘begin’ tidying the Hutte;   this is going to be an ongoing job for the next few days.    The seating arrangements in the Hutte are comfortable unlike outside at the Clematis.   I’ve also worked out how to take Macro photos with the new camera;    I was looking for complications where there are none.   No wonder I am tired .... I’ve had a busy day.

It has been a bonnie day though at times it looked like we could catch a shower.   The bike battery is fully charged so I may go further afield tomorrow .... weather permitting.

Sixth fairway.
21.00     Another bonnie day is coming to a close....and I have enjoyed it.    Doing a wee bit of ‘work’ is satisfying, but I’d much rather ‘play’.   I thought about taking a flask of coffee up to Chapel Green in the afternoon but that’s when I got diverted and decided to tidy up the Hutte.    I have missed talking to folk today....I’ll remedy that tomorrow.

Myra brought a book down .... and a box of After Eights .... so I’ll start that tonight:  reading the book, not scoffing the After Eights.    I do fancy a couple but I’m ending the day with a migraine, so it’s a couple of pills for that instead of  sweeties.

Overcast with light 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

Cold and overcast ....

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
