Peaceful morning .....

 

4th November 2020 (Wednesday)      08.30 .... It’s a bonnie, quiet, morning;


   I wouldn’t say it was the best of drying days, but the downy cover is on the line, soon to be followed by one of the sheets.   We did have a ‘red sky in the morning’ sunrise, which I saw when hanging out the downy;  and, although gone by the time I was on the beach, it was still bonnie, peaceful.... and still colourful.

 18.30     My word .... it has been a quick day.... and yet I haven’t done that much.   I had to take a quick trip to the ‘Cheap Shop’ in Leven for a few things (non bio Persil being one vital necessity)  something out of B n Q’s.     Anyway I got all that I wanted and was back in Ivy putting up another washing line, by 09.45.    The washing has all been done but the sheets will have to go out5 again tomorrow;  today wasn’t the best drying day though a breeze did get up  in the afternoon.

The harbour -from School Wynd.
I went out on the bike in the afternoon;  I’d been watching the American Elections and couldn’t believe it.   They call that ‘democracy’?    You have to be kiddin’.   Anyway I was fed up of that so I circumnavigated the villages, met, and chatted to Alan then went up to Chapel Green to have a ‘break’ with ‘The Boss’.    Actually it has been a good day for conversation, having spoken to Suzanne, Maureen, Alan ... and the girls in ‘arbour ‘ouse.   And I ended up talking to a bus driver who arrived at the Bus Stop in Elie where I was drinking my coffee..... the coffee that I’d ‘bought’ at ‘arbour ‘ouse ... well I would have bought it if I had money with me, but I didn’t.   The girls took pity on me and said it was ‘on the ‘ouse’. Xx

20.30    I’d like to get up to Balcarres Estate in the next couple of days;  (the weather


looks good for Friday).... I haven’t biked around the Balcarres for a few weeks. Having said all that, I have to stay around Ivy for another two deliveries, so it all depends on when they are done.  I’ll be happy having a ‘rest day’ tomorrow... having a lot to do in the garden.

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
