Lovely, peaceful morning ....

11th February 2021 (Thursday)     10.00 .... We have a gorgeous morning:


   bright, sunny and colder... and peaceful under a clear blue sky, especially after the moody skies of the past few days.   The pavements are treacherous, though they can be walk on, with care, where there’s snow lying.   I’ve been to the beach to catch the sunrise;  and had my breakfast.... now I’m thinking of getting in the car and going for the paper.

I’ve come to the conclusion that ‘the jab’ has more subtle side effects than I first thought:  Nothing that I can put my finger on, just a slight feeling of being ‘under the weather’, most of the time.    I say this because I am feeling brighter this morning, the best that I have felt since I got ‘the jab’ two weeks ago.   Of course it’s maybe absolutely nothing to do with ‘the jab’;  could simply be the cold weather.    I just thought I’d mention that.   It’s certainly nothing to bother about.... I’m looking forward to the next ‘jab’.   After that one I shall know if there are subtle side effects.


12.00    I went to Elie for the paper and milk:  the road to the harbour looked icy so I just came back to Ivy and ‘morning coffee’.   After ‘MC’ I cleared the path, from the front door to the pavement then sprinkled some salt on it;   we are to have another overnight frost tonight.    Nothing like as cold as Deeside..... -22.5c at Braemar.     That is cauld.   We must have been about -4c this morning because the salt water on the beach was beginning to freeze.    I think that happens around -3c.   Must ‘go’.... slight ‘flap on’;   I need food.

20.30    It has been a bonnie day and I have been a busy boy, having scraped the ice off


the front door path and across the pavement onto the road.   I do not want any more snow (mostly because I’m not that keen on having to scrape paths);   however there is a slight chance of light showers tomorrow.  

I checked the info you get when you get ‘the jab’ and ‘feeling unwell’ is one of the symptoms.    Actually I have been fine today.... in fact I have been feeling frisky;  hence the ice scraping.   No ‘plan’ for tomorrow with the weather being the way it is... other than go for the paper.... and down to the harbour.   I doubt if I’ll take the bike out.

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
