Highly excited ....

 

23rd November 2020 (Monday)      10.00 .... We had a cracker of a sunrise


sky this morning;  probably means something wet later on, but my word it was bonnie. ... and well worth a spot o’ wetness (should it happen).   I went out for the paper, but got excited and have still to go for the paper;  I went straight to the harbour.   I’m excited yet.... need another cuppa.

It’s a lovely morning, albeit breezy and cauld on the ‘stickin’ oot bits’ on your heid ... er....  appendages... i.e. lugs.   I’m going to have that other cuppa (3rd ... or is it 4th?) then I’ll do some ‘work’.   Must go;   in ‘excited flap on state’.    Enjoy your day.

18.30    I went out on the bike today.... only up to Chapel Green because the bike battery was low.   It’s now fully charged ready for a decent trip out.... probably Wednesday or Thursday;  or both.

Someone else waiting for the sun to rise.

I spent some time sorting out this morning photos..... then went to Colinsburgh to put fuel in the car.   I thought of going up to Balcarres but, remembering it was a working day, decided not to go into the estate, and came home to make and have lunch. 

Having been going, nonstop, since 06.30 I had a long catnap after lunch, then sorted out the photos I’d taken at Chapel Green ( I taker a lot of photographs on a day like today).   Now I’m feel ‘bright eyed and bushy tailed’..... and in the mood to tackle the top shelf of Maggie’s china cabinet. 

20.30    Mmmmm .... it looks like we will be waking up to dampness tomorrow;   we have light rain just now, which forecast to become heavier overnight.   Oh welll.... I have a rough  idea as to what my day will be;   computer stuff and bookshelves/china cabinet.    Do I need to do any shopping I’m wondering?     Rainy days are good for retail therapy.

I see that the ‘rools’ are going to be relaxed for Christmas re families being together... in


extended bubble(s).    It won’t make any difference to me;   I’ll be spending Christmas on Skype.... and, would you believe it,  I’m actually looking forward to the challenge of making my own Christmas lunch.... and cake..... a Victoria Sponge!

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
