Gorgeous morning ....

 

5th October 2020 (Monday)    10.30 .... we had a lot of rain overnight and the


usual puddles are looking good this morning;  but forget the puddles.... we have a glorious morrrrrrrning with lots of magnificent clouds around, some of which can bring a short but heavy shower over us.   I got caught in one up at Chapel Green.     I’m thinking it’s ‘morning coffee’ time.

18.30     I’ve had a busy day;  a mix of working on the computer, some ‘ousework (not much) and a bit of ‘play’.     I chanced a run up to Chapel Green on the bike and got caught by a heavy shower (the bike can stand  a shower but not prolonged wet).  I dried  the bike and it is fine;  I then changed my wet things and had another shower.   I feel clean.    When I think about it;   I haven’t looked at the photographs I went up to Chapel Green to get.    Later in the day I went up to Balcarres (in the car) for a change of scenery, but it was spitting rain so I didn’t do the Woodland walk.  


This morning I got a phone call from gas, and electricity company  asking me to read the meters.   I couldn’t do it at that time but  arranged to be available, with the readings at 14.00.   Bang on 14.00 the phone rang and I delivered the readings.    Now I’m wonder what has happened to all the meter readers, who used to come round every so often .... about once a year.   I imagine they are ‘unemployed’ now that the furlough has ended, and we are reading our own meters.   It’s a sad world we are living in.

21.30     What exciting things will I do tomorrow?    I suppose I could go somewhere different in the car but that’s not getting much in the way of exercise.   The forecast is ‘good’ though there’s a ‘chance of precipitation’  in the first part of the morning, with sunny spells in the afternoon.    I might cut back the Clematis (if it’s dry), it has been like
a wild thing this year;  the more I cut it back the faster it grows.   

I am enjoying working with the postcards but that’s really a wet day job:  it is absolutely fascinating browsing them.   I’m hoping the albums come sometime this week..... so that can find out if they are suitable.

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...
