Feeling playful ....

 

14th November 2020 (Saturday)      09.00 .... I’m feeling frightfully

This morning at the Centre of the Universe.

frolicsome after a great night’s sleep;   I must have been tired after walking around in the Leven air yesterday.     What kind of weather are we going to have today? ..... well, at the moment,  there’s a brisk wind from the SSE, it’s overcast and looks like we could have spells of rain.    It’s not a morning for the bike. 

10.00     I’ve been for the paper and down to the harbour;  it was raining (lightly) but the sky looked almost promising, though whether it will clear away for the afternoon is doubtful.    A change of time for me at the ‘paper shop’ meant a change of faces.... well if we didn’t have masks it would have been a change of faces:   I mistook Dave for Jock at first.   Actually that’s one of the things that I find ‘different’ with this crisis.... I have to think before I go out.    Do I have a mask/.shield... what are the ‘rools’ etc.    I’m not good at this thinkin’....!   I had a blether with Dave, then Lynn came along so I caught up with her news.    It was all ‘go’ at the ‘paper shop’ this morning.

I see that ‘Gollum’ has left No 10;   that’s the bloke that drove 75 miles to test his eyes during shutdown.     Headline news ‘Dominic Cummings seen leaving No10 with a box’.    What was in the box?    Could it have been ‘Larry’ the cat?.... Chief Mouser at No 10.

Sparrow Hawk with snack. (Uckfield).

18.00     I took time out from working (on the bookshelves) to take a walk to the beach later in the afternoon:   I was looking for someone to talk too.... and ended up having a pleasant chat with Margaret (Earlsferry one).    Actually the beach was much busier than I expected it to be considering that there was a cool Southeast wind a blowin’;   I guess everyone was out to have a late afternoon stroll before sunset.... just like I was.

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
