Peaceful ....

 

7th October 2020 (Tuesday)     10.30 .... I’ve been ‘on the go’ since I got up;


  now I am ready to tackle a Soduko in the Hutte,.... and a cuppa.   

I went to the beach at sunrise time;  it was a gorgeous morning,  but cool.   Cool? .... when I was concentrating on the Eastern sky;   behind me, a few of the ‘Elie Blue Tits Swimmers’ were preparing to tackle Elie Bay..  I don’t know how many ladies eventually went swimming.... but I met another lady heading for the beach when I was coming off the beach.    Our Elie (and Earlsferry) girls are tough.   I felt very weak,... and ready for a cuppa.

After the beach I went to ‘the Store’ to pick up a few messages and give the car wheels a wee bit of exercise.

17.00    I did the wee bit shopping, so now I don’t need to worry as to when the delivery van arrives:   I just need to hang around Ivy until it does.    I’ll get out early for the paper, have a quick circumnavigate of the villages, then potter around the garden.  


There doesn’t appear to be any tracking available with this delivery, all I know is that it left Salisbury yesterday afternoon.

The work I did yesterday caught up with me this afternoon;  I fell sound asleep in The Hutte, for nearly an hour.    Cutting back the Clematis will be tomorrow's job.   Jimmy used to say that, if he did too much one day he would sleep a lot the next.   I thought that was because Jimmy was ‘auld’;  this suggest that I am also ‘auld’.   No, that can’t be ... I feel young again.

20.30    I was going to say that I’ve had a lazy day;  but I did have a busy morning, which included making Cottage Pies for the freezer.   I now need to go to Ardross for mince etc;  but not until after the albums have been delivered.  

I see that the pubs in the Central Belt are closing for two weeks;   if ever anything was self inflicted that was:   and ...two or three weeks after they re-open on the 25th the cases


will start to rise again... you don’t need to be Brahan Seer to work that out.

The forecast is good for tomorrow ;  ‘sunny intervals with a moderate breeze’..... and cool especially when exposed to the wind.

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
