Hmmmm .... windy, damp and cold ....

3rd February 2021 (Wednesday)      08.00 .... The ‘Master Plan’ for today? 


   Well..... I’m going to take the car up to Elie for the papers and down to the harbour, as I normally do.    It is on the way up from the harbour that the ‘Master’ bit of the ‘Plan’ comes into operation;   I shall stop at the Ship Inn, to sit and relax, in the beer garden with a mug of coffee.   On a sunny morning (as I have done) this is a perfect way to start the day;   but, this will be the first time on a damp morning, like we have today, .... I might not sit very long.    Enjoy your day..... I'm going to have another cuppa.

15.30    I got a lot of pleasure from having my ‘morning coffee’ in the Ship Inn beer garden this morning.... in fact I will take a mug of coffee with me every time I go out in the car;  especially when this inclement weather is with us.    According to Helen (weather forecaster) this weather is to be with us for nigh on a week.   I am missing going out on the bike, but I had a short walk this afternoon.... when the rain wasn’t too heavy .... but it wasn’t the most enjoyable walk.   At least it got me some physical exercise.  Now I am going to do some research.... that keeps the brain active.


21.00    I have  checked the ‘rools’, that you get when you have the COVID inoculation, and discovered that fatigue is one of the most common symptoms.   I’ve never had much trouble falling asleep in front of the tele.... but, my word.... I fall asleep just thinking about watching the tele nowadays, so I guess I have that symptom!   Mind you, with the kind of weather we’re having, sleeping through it isn’t a bad thing:  we’re supposed to have this weather for a week.   A week?   

Funnily enough I’ve had an interest and satisfying day;  playing with photographs and doing other stuff on the computer.   Tomorrow I thing I’ll start an ‘ousework project that will keep me physically active for ....a week.   I’m thinking of ‘Spring cleaning’ the computer room.   I also have my post card collection to work on;  that has been in abeyance since before Christmas. 

This afternoon.

  Yes, I have plenty to keep me active during any spells of nasty weather:  however, I think the computer room ‘Spring clean project’ has just dropped down the list;  I’m fancying the post cards... they are absorbing.

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
