China cabinet ....

 

26th November 2020 (Thursday)     10.00 .... It’s done!..... the china

West Shore - Pittenweem.

cabinet has been emptied, everything washed, and put back (maybe not ‘iggzactly’ as it was)  .... now I can begin to relax.   The bookshelves are still to do but I enjoy doing them;  they take a long time.

We have a lovely morning.... at the moment the sky is overcast (the sun is working on that problem) and there’s very little wind ... so a really nice morrrrrrrrrrrning for doing things in the garden.... and going out to ‘play’.    I’m going to9 have a cuppa before going for the paper and morning coffee.   ‘Slight flap on’!

21.00     As planned I went for the paper, and ‘morning coffee’ from ‘arbour ‘ouse eventually... I  had to go back to Ivy to get mu coffee mug (it keeps the coffee hot).     However I managed to get myself organised and went to Pittenweem Braes.   I knew the tide was in and that there was only a light breeze, so there was a good chance that West Shore would be reflected in the water.   It was.... and I was happy;  it was really enjoyable way to celebrate finishing the cabinet.

Pittenweem version of  'Blob'.

There was other ‘non china’ stuff in the china cabinet:  a box with four 12th scale long nose golf clubs ... a driver, brassie (with brass sole) a putter and a mashie;  , and a photo that I got from Ethel (cousin) of  Mum and Dad’s wedding group.      Once I’d washed the crystal and china, cleaning the cabinet became a more interesting job.  

I never went out in the afternoon;  by the time I’d ‘played’ with the mornings batch of photographs and browsed my way through the interesting stuff in the cabinet it was beginning to get dark.

The new tier levels in England have raised a few hackles;  do the folk that live there not realise that it’s ‘self inflicted’.   Do those people, in areas now classed as Tier 3;   the ones with the 'couldn't care less attitude' spread the virus....  and now everyone in the area has now to suffer Tier 3 because of selfish behaviour.?

'Crimson Arrow..


Tomorrow is going to be another quiet day with light winds but cloudier.... and not that warm.   I’m having a rest day tomorrow.

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
