Peaceful ....

 

1st September 2020 (Tuesday)     08.30 ..... I have been up to Chapel Green


on what is an absolute cracker of a morning.   It’s one of those peaceful,  kind of mornings;  the kind when you want to sit down and ponder.    I think I’ll have morning coffee at Chapel Green.   I’d have ‘pondered’ this morning but the seat was damp with dew.  

 

17.30    Chapel Green was busy at morning coffee break time, with lots of people walking the Coastal Path.    Jennifer and James came by, they had walked the railway line out and through the Dumbarnie Golf Course, then home by way of the cliffs .... and Chapel Green;  a healthy length of walk.   It was good to catch up with them again.    I didn’t see any children/young folk today so I guess families with children at school have had to return to their main ‘base’ for a wee while.

My intention was to get a few shots of Edinburgh in a better light than the one I got early this morning;  sadly there was a haze so that plan has been shelved until another day.   I did get a few photos of a supply vessel, ‘NS Elida’, heading back to Aberdeen after servicing ‘Deepsea Aberdeen’.

In the afternoon I watched ‘the Tour’ and cleaned out the greenhouse gutters in between times;   I have had a busy and enjoyable day.  

I was chatting to Patricia this morning about going to the kirk service at Elie on Sunday, but I am going to ‘pass’ on that;  it seems too ‘complicated’ for me.    I may go to Kinneuchar kirk the following week, after I hear how this Sunday goes.   The 'powers that be' in the Church of Scotland will have to think seriously about changes it will have to make to cope with COVID-19 .... because it ain’t going to go away in a hurry.   It will be interesting to see how the kirk adapts.

21.00    I’ve enjoyed myself today..... warm sunshine makes all the difference to how

Supply vessel 'NS Elida'.

positive I feel;  how positive we all feel.    Unfortunately tomorrow is going to be cloudier with a good chance of rain in the afternoon:   that's when  ‘le Tour’  (Stage 5... Gap - Privas... a distance of 183 kilometres) is on the tele, so any rain won’t bother me.

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
