Autumn Equinox .....

 

22nd September 2020 (Tuesday)     06.30 .... The  Autumn Equinox, the


‘official’ start of Autumn;   though nature’s autumn began in August.   It’s going to be mostly overcast today with a brisk breeze;  tomorrow looks like being a better washing day;   sunny spells are forecast.   No real ‘plan’ for today.... it really depends on what happens with the weather. 
 

09.30     I’ve been to The Store to get a few vital ‘odds and ends’... all I need to do now is organise a mission to Ardross Farm Shop.     I’m thinking of actually going into the shop to have a browse ;  I’ll do that one morning this week.

At the moment the grey sky is not persuading me to bumble down to the beach:  I’ll have a cuppa and hope that the sky breaks up by lunchtime.   There’s an ironing needing to be done;   it’s a good morning for doing that.


18.30   It’s been dull most of the day, though the sun did try hard around midday and I actually got caught in a fleeting blink of sunshine up at Chapel Green.... without sun-cream!    At that time it wasn’t that cold but it feels like it’s  turned colder in the past couple of hours:  I’ve just been out to the Hutte.

There was a lot of folk doing the Coastal Walk;  at least there was a lot of folk going round Chapel Green that looked like they were doing the Coastal Walk.   It’s an interesting walk:   Maggie and me did a fair bit of it but her nae weelness brought that to a sudden halt.    Which was when we decided to research her family tree etc.

21.00    I took stuff out to the bucket and discovered that it’s starting to rain.... nae surprise there.    The rain should clear by morning, leaving us with a ‘braw drying day’;  then again maybe not.

New ‘rools’ are being rolled out re COVID-19;  from what I’ve heard so far it’s going to be a tricky winter .... especially for elderly people.    Being in a ‘bubble of one’ is not the most exciting thing, but I guess it may have to be that way until a vaccine, or an effective


way of dealing with this virus is found.    Luckily I have a lot of friendly neighbours so there’s always someone around;  that said it’s me that’s hardly ever around, especially if the weather is‘fine’.... I’m always out on my bike.

Tomorrow should be a good drying day according to the forecast so I’ll do a wee washing;  I’m really up to date with washing, but I always take advantage of a good drying day now.   I have no plan to go for an adventure tomorrow;   I am thinking of going to ‘arbour ‘ouse to get a carry out ‘morning coffee’.   I haven’t been to Harbour House for along time.

Oh dear;   I’m ending the day with a migraine... it’ll be the weather.   A couple o’ pills, a cuppa then orf to bed it is.

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 f...

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 l...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
