Wet morning ....

 

1st October 2020 (Thursday)     08.00 .... even a duck wouldn’t want to go for


a walk this morning;  it is raining, and the sky does not look promising.   I won’t be going to the beach.   The forecast for KY9? ..... “light rain showers with a moderate breeze” for most of the day. 

15.30    The rain gradually petered out by the time I got to the Pavilion to have morning coffee with Jean and Jim.... in fact we were able to sit outside, where we had a really enjoyable catch up chat.   By the time I got back to Ivy the sun had broken through, so I went to the beach for a walk., while my lunch was heating up in the oven.   There was a nice sky after the rain so I left the beach with some bonnie photos.... and well ready for food.    I was thinking of going out on the bike but the sky is clouding over again so I’ll leave the biking until tomorrow.... which is forecast to be a bonnie day.


18.30    This has been a rest day for me;  oh.... I’ve done wee bits and pieces around the house but nothing to tiring.      Although I have enjoyed ‘today’ I intend being more energetic tomorrow;  for a start the weather is going to be better.    Hey... it should be a good drying day;  I must take advantage of that.

21.00     I see that Fife is about the middle of the chart with new cases of COVID-19;   that means social distancing still matters, especially now that we’re coming into the flu season.     Locally we don’t have a problem with social distancing.... everybody ‘keeps their distance’.   The Pav was perfect this morning.... we were outside, but there were tables inside and they were well spaced out.    The problem for me is that I am a ‘bubble of one’ so don’t want to take a table up all to myself;  this morning we had three at the table .... two ‘bubbles’;   Jean and Jim in one and me in the other.   That worked perfectly because,  Jean and Jim could sit as a normal couple while I sat two metres away on the


other side of the table.    I think the ‘rools’ allow for one metre distancing in restaurants etc.

Plan for ‘ra morra’?    Get up earlier than I did this morning (it was raining), .... bike along to Elie for the papers, and to check out the harbour etc.  Charge the bike up and have breakfast, play with any photographs I took at Elie, then go out on the bike once the battery is fully charged.   Yes .... that’s a good ‘plan’.

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
