Lovely morning ....

 

31st October 2020 (Saturday)      11.00 ....The horrid weather, that has been


forecast for our area, has either, yet to arrive.... or is going to  miss us altogether;  hopefully the latter.  

My word.... I enjoyed myself on the beach this morning.    It was windy, in fact the wind freshened noticeably, from F3 up to F5, while I was on the beach, but it wasn’t cold    Anyway I was happy and wouldn’t notice if it had been cold;  we had a busy sky; 160 ‘clicks’ worth of busy sky.

The fireplace has been painted (finished) and will be allowed to harden for a week before the fire (yet to be bought) is put in place.   The fastest I do things,  nowadays, is when I’m on the bike and that’s because it has a battery!   Oh and I move fairly fast when the kettle has boiled.... which it will have done.   I’m orf to make a cuppa.    Have an enjoyable day.


14.00    It’s turning out to be a bonnie afternoon;  yes we had a wee bit o’ rain earlier, but right now we have sunny spells and a bit o’ wind (F7 or so)... the rain has passed us by.    It’s too windy for me to go out on the bike, but I’m happy doing things in Ivy anyway.   

I am saddened to see that the original, and best James Bond, (‘007’), Sean Connery, has died age 90.    I like to think that a lot of his ‘James Bond’ films will be shown on the tele over the Festive period;   Christmas is going to be ‘different’ this year. 

19.30    Well....  it has been a wildish day but at the rain, when it did arrive, didn’t last long, but the wind most certainly did.    I have had a lazy day physically, but I have been pottering about in Ivy and on the computer.    Tomorrow is going to be slightly quieter though still windy, especially in the afternoon.   I might get out on the bike tomorrow  .... it was far too windy to do that today.    

Things are beginning to be taken seriously, regarding the COVID-19 crisis, with 


England going back to a stricter ’lockdown’ for a month, because the NHS would be unable to cope with the expected rise in numbers if nothing was done.  Does this mean if they shut down November, they will be able to ‘open’ for the December ‘rip off’ season?   It will be interesting to see just how seriously this COVID -19 crisis is being taken.   We live in sad times.

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
