My word what a start to the day ....

 

6th November 2020 (Friday)      08.30 .... It’s an absolute cracker of a


morning;   ‘we’ (as in Royal Burgh ‘we’) have to go out to play today..... I only hope the deliveries are done early!    I remembered to buy a paper this morning.... and the harbour is where it should be:  all is good at the Centre of the Universe. 





16.30    Well .... one of the deliveries has been done but the fire has yet to arrive;  so I didn’t go out on the bike.... just in case I missed the van.   The sky has clouded over in the last hour so I’ll just stay in and hope for a late afternoon delivery.   The ‘plan’ is to go out tomorrow morning;   I don’t really expect the fire until Monday now.

I have done a bit of work, while keeping an eye on the ‘News’, hoping for a change of President in the USA.   I wonder what percentage of the planet’s population want to see the back of Mr Trump?   I guess he (President Trump) will go down in history as the worst ever President of the USA.... to date;  assuming he is voted ‘out’.    The way American ‘democracy’ works is something else.



20.30    Tomorrow looks like being another nice day ..... after some early fog.   I should get out mid morning for the paper, the villages will be quiet;  they always are in November.    England is in lockdown until 3rd December, after which I assume they will open up for Christmas and New Year;  I don’t like to think what that will do for the ‘R’ number come February.  

I hope to get out for a decent turn on the bike tomorrow after lunch.... but that depends on how I get on with some stuff I want to do in the garden, and I don’t mind pottering around Ivy;  though there’s not that many folk to have a conversation with in the garden;  other than ‘Blob’.... and that conversation is one sided!    It’s like talking to myself!

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
