Quiet morning ....

9th December 2020 (Wednesday)     07.30 .... There’s hardly a breath of wind


this morning so nae wind chill factor to bother us....and, though overcast, it is forecast to be mostly dry.    I should get the bike out later in the morning.    The ‘plan’ is to deliver some local Christmas cards.  

13.30     I’ve done it;  I’ve been threatening to go to Ardross for weeks.... today I finally did it and I don’t know why I was so nervous about going in;  there was absolutely no problems at all.   Everyone was wearing a mask (I wear a shield so that I can breathe).... and keeping the two metres distance.   I shall make Cottage Pie(s) .... after I have a celebratory cuppa.

I never did get out on the bike today:  we did have a sunny spell in the middle of the day but I was otherwise engaged.    I fell asleep in front of the tele.   Orf to put the kettle ‘on’.   The 'master plan', when I went to Ardross, was to come round by Kinneuchar on the way home and take a few photos, but the camera bag was just a 'bag';  nae camera in it!

19.00    Five ‘Cottage’ Pies’ ready for the freezer.... and another batch to make tomorrow.    That will be me stocked up for the Festive Season.    Iain did suggest coming


down and taking up to Auchnagatt, but I am ‘keeping my head below the parapet’, until a few weeks after the second vaccine jab.   

Other than making the Cottage Pies I have had a lazy kind of day;  at least all my Christmas cards are written and I shall begin delivering them .... hopefully tomorrow.    What is the weather for tomorrow?    I’d better have a look.    Hmmm ‘light rain and a moderate breeze’;  not so good.   Tomorrow’s ‘plan’ will be played by ear.... and probably in the car.

21.00    I’m see if I can find something worth watching on the tele.... and have a cuppa.   I’m happy with today’s efforts, especially at going  Ardross.    It looks like I won’t get out and about on the bike tomorrow;  I’d half hoped to deliver some of my local cards by


bike.   Oh well there’s always the car .... and if I remember to take money with me.... ‘arbour ‘ouse is open tomorrow so I can have morning coffee and a goodie.  Yes ... I’m thinkin’ that’s tomorrow’s plan.

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
