Lovely autumn morning ....

 

10th September 2020 (Thursday)     07.30 .... I’m feeling frisky


this morning;   after a ‘sleep in’.....I didn’t get up until 06.30.   It looks like it is going to be a bonnie day, though it is forecast to clouds over by mid morning.... rain isn’t mentioned for Ivy Cottage.    It’s 9c on the garden thermometer so it is cool.    I have yet to go for the paper but I need to go to Elie later in the morning so I’ll pick up the paper then;   right now I’m hungry.  

11.30    Well I’ve been for the paper except I’d forgotten my face mask so couldn’t go for the paper;  however I did enjoy my morning trip out for the paper I didn’t get.   It’s actually quite chilly this morning but, if the sun breaks through properly, the air should warm up.


14.30    The sun hasn’t broken through ... in fact it is heavily overcast  and cold, with drizzle just now, so not a pleasant afternoon.... but the drizzle isn’t supposed to last for very long.   I am glad I went out earlier.   The bike has a fully charged battery for tomorrow, though tomorrow’s weather forecast isn’t very encouraging.   I’m watching ‘le Tour’ , and doing Soduko’s, just now;  it is an interesting hilly Stage.

21.00    Today’s Stage (12) of ‘le Tour’ was incredible.... really exciting.    I had to go for a walk to calm down so I went up to the Pony Field and the golf course.    And the   fresh air was enjoyable even though the afternoon overcast and cold; at least it was dry.    Shona was going down Ferry Road as I got back to Ivy so we had a coffee and caught up with each other’s news.   There’s not much happening in Kinneuchar.... other than the

'Our Christine'.

‘Inn’ having to close because of the single case of COVID-19.

Funnily enough I feel as if I’ve have had a hectic kind of day;  probably because ‘le Tour’ was so exciting.    I’ll sleep well tonight. 

Plan for tomorrow?.... haven’t got one as yet., as the weather forecast for tomorrow is ‘iffy’.      The early part of the morning might be the best time.   The afternoon will be taken up with the bike race.

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
