Early fog ....

 

5th November 2020 (Thursday)     08.00 .... The sky is overcast, but the sun

Taken three years ago.

should breakthrough  by mid morning;  and there’s a breeze  so the sheets should be dry by the end of the afternoon.    I had hoped to waken up to the good news that the USA had a new President, and Planet Earth was a safer and happier place, but unfortunately that’s not the case.  I’ll have breakfast, then loup intae the car and go for the paper.

19.00     It’s been a bonnie day and we have one ‘frustrated boy’ in Ivy Cottage tonight;  I couldn’t get out to play.... having to stay around Ivy, waiting for a delivery on the 5th (that is today’s date?.... Yes it is) but it hasn’t arrived ... so far.   I guess it could happen in the evening.   

The day hasn’t been wasted because I had a good spell of working in the garden;  and I ironed the sheets and downy so I have been busy, but it’s frustrating not being able to go out on the bike.   I suppose I’ll have to go through it all again tomorrow.   Oh well, the front garden could be doing with being worked on.    The most amazing thing is;   I haven’t take a photograph today .... not one.

I set out to go for the paper in the car, and ended up at ‘The Store’ in Anstruther, where I did a wee shopping.   That was really early.   On the way home I meant to stop at the paper shop but ended up coming home by way of the ‘back roads’, the Colinsburgh Strait and Kinneuchar, so didn’t go through Elie.... so nae paper.   I have been keeping an eye on the ‘News’ hoping to see Biden reach the magic number 270;  but that isn’t going to happen for a while now.

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
