Bonnier morning ....

15th May 2021 (Saturday)   09.30 .... there’s a friskier breeze today (SE) so it is


cool, but ... we have had sunny spells, so it could be a brighter day, albeit cool when exposed to the wind.    I had a change of direction this morning;  I decided to have a walk along the beach, then up to the golf course and back to Ivy via the 18th fairway.  It’s a beautiful morning now.... warm in the sun, though it is a cool breeze.  The ‘plan’ is to have breakfast,  then get the bike to for the paper.




12.30    We’ve got a beautiful day;  perfect ‘play’ day.   I’ve been for the paper... but there was a queue outside the shop so I ended up at the harbour instead;   this was at 10.30 and the harbour area was already busy with people and vehicles.    I was speaking to a man from Shell Bay caravan site, and he was saying that all the touring spaces are full, and it looks like all the statics are full too.   .   I enjoyed a cup of ‘arbour ‘ouse coffee at the ‘arbour... and ... er  ... a large piece of cake;  the cake has a proper name but I forget it.    It was tasty.  

The ‘paper shop’ still had a queue outside it when I went back ‘uptown’ so .... I have yet to get a paper.    The bike battery is being charged up so I might get a paper in the afternoon.... if the streets aren’t too busy.   It looks like being a busy weekend.    


18.30   The ‘work’ of the past couple of days caught up with me.... and .... today has been a ‘rest’ day.    That means I fell asleep in The Hutte after lunch.   I have been out twice today so I have had some exercise.... and I did do a wee bit of gardening.   I transferred a couple of weeds into their holiday transport;  the ‘broon bucket’.

The bike has a fully charged battery.... and I’m wondering if i should go out for a run this evening or keep the fully charged battery until tomorrow.    You can understand why being me is hard work;  I’m always having to make decisions.    I relied on Maggie making decisions.   I need a cuppa.

22.30    I got engrossed in a programme  about our Royal Family .... ‘Father and Son divided’ I think it was called, which is why I am later in going to bed tonight. .   I also watched the ‘News’ and was horrified at the infantile behaviour in Glasgow:   I guess we’ll find out if it was a ‘super spreader event’ in a few weeks.   

 Tomorrow is going to be another cool day with the chance of heavy showers later on.   I


must remember to go for a paper tomorrow.... then I think I shall continue with the ‘rest day’ idea.... pottering around Ivy.

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
