Nice day after a dull start.... ....

 

6th October 2020 (Tuesday)    09.00 .... There’s been some overnight rain, but,

The 'March Stane'.

the sky is beginning to break up, so the sunny spells mentioned in the forecast should start happening soon;   and my breathing is easier this morning.... so there must be a change of wind direction.    No ‘plan’ for today;  I had thought of going to ‘The Store’ (Anstruther) but decided to leave that until tomorrow or Thursday.    Thinking of doing some ‘ousework.

17.30     Thinking of doing some ‘ousework? .... I ended up spending about 4 hours doing ‘ousework!     I went crazy with the ‘oover, then decided to wash the bathroom, kitchen and front lobby floors.   I did take time out to go to the beach in the morrrrrrrning.... had a quiet rest in The Hutte in the middle of the afternoon, then went to the beach late in the afternoon.   In among that I did a small ironing and some work on the computer.     I’m a slightly tired, but also content, boy tonight.   It will be a restful TV evening.... if I can find something worth watching.

Lot of bonnie clouds today again.

20.30     The postcard albums I ordered have been despatched,  but I can’t track the parcel.   It says ‘parcel delivery’ so I’m hoping it’s Royal Mail... otherwise I’ll have to stay around Ivy until the parcel is delivered.   I have a rough idea when the ‘postie’ delivers.   If it’s DPD or some other delivery firm I may get an e-mail with a delivery time.    I think I’ll end up with at least six albums eventually.

It has been a good day today:  the weather has been good and I have been productive.   Tomorrow I’ll clear a space on one of the bookshelves for the postcard albums.    What will I do with the books?..... they will probably end up in the attic, which is where the post cards were going to go, until I really looked at them.

Tomorrow looks like being a really bonnie day.    I might finish cutting back the Clematis

The 'sooth side' this afternoon.

as there’s no mention of rain in the forecast so it will be dry.  

‘Balvonie’ (next door to the North) has been sold already so I’ll have new neighbours next door.    This will be the fifth owner of Balvonie (Selina Villa as it was when ‘Jock’ Dunsire and family were in it).   Ye Gods I’m beginning to feel auld.

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
