Quiet morning ....

 

10th November 2020 (Tuesday)     08.00 .... we have another peaceful

Anstruther.

morning;  the sky is brighter, and, though still predominately overcast, it has the ‘sunny spells’ look.    I’ll have a cuppa before going for the paper.... and  dream up a ‘plan of action’ for today.   

15.00    ‘The Boy’ has been enjoying ‘imself today:   I went to Anstruther for a change of scenery and had a walk out on the West pier.    It was foggy .... in fact there was heavy fog rolling in when I came away.    When I was in Anstruther I went to ‘The Store’ and bought some vital supplies.... Kit Kats, Breakaway’s and stuff.  

On the way home I went down to Elie Harbour and  was lucky enough to spot ‘Archie’ (Elie skiff) out on the bay..... and promptly took a few photo, before heading for Ivy and a how cuppa.    Shona arrived just as I was switching the kettle ‘on’ so we had  a cuppa, and long chat in ‘The Hutte’. We had a fairly long ‘sunny spell, between 10.30 and 14.00mand Shona had been walking on the beach.

Michael phoned to tell me that my fire is being delivered today..... between 08.00 and 20.00, so I will have to stay in until that happens.... so I’m glad that I took the chance and went out in the morning. 


20.30    Well the fire hasn’t been delivered yet;  I guess it will now arrive tomorrow,....  sometime between 08.00 and 20.00.    Luckily I haven’t anything planned for tomorrow....the weather forecast isn’t  bad .... but there is a chance of light rain showers, so I won’t be going anywhere on the bike.    I enjoy working on the computer, in between doing other things, so my day is always interesting and  busy enough;  and... there’s always the tele as a last resort.

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
