Lovely morrrrrrrrning .....

1st May 2021 (Saturday)    09.30 ....and ...what an absolutely gorgeous morning


we have at the Centre of the Universe.  

I’ve been for the paper (there was a queue outside the shop, so I didn’t actually get a paper) and down at the harbour.   There was a lot of activity down there;  with new ladder being fitted at the end of the pier (at low tide), the Gannets were feeding in the bay and the Eider duck were on manoeuvres.   I might go down there on the bike later.... if the streets aren’t too busy.

It was warm when I was at the harbour, but I notice that the air is cooler now;   probably because the breeze has freshened.

‘Blob’ (bless his feathery butt) has just flown past (in the computer room);  I’d better go and let him out..... and feed him.   He must have come in when I was speaking to Jim and Jennifer.   It’s all ‘go’ at Ivy this morning.

Gannet with a Flounder for breakfast.

19.00    I didn’t go out on the bike because, once the sky clouded over and the showers came, it turned much colder.    I have put the battery on charge and intend going for the paper on the bike first thing;  that appears to be the best time of day.    It was actually warm in the sun at the harbour this morning.

By the time I sorted out the photographs taken this morrrrrning it was lunch time.    I had lunch, then went out to The Hutte to read the papers (Myra kindly dropped her papers off after she had read them) so I didn’t have to go for a paper.   It was too cold for me on the bike by then anyway.    It was cosy in The Hutte and I fell sound asleep.... not for long .... and woke up feeling frisky as a Spring lamb;  so I finished reading the papers, did  Soduko and started another drawing.

22.00    I have had an enjoyable and busy day today;   if the weather is good tomorrow, I have a fully charged battery on the bike just waiting to be used.  

Although the villages are busy with visitors I don’t feel as ‘under threat’  as I did before,


having had my second ‘jab’ three weeks ago;  but it’s going to take a long time to get back to pre pandemic levels of ‘relaxed’ I’m thinking.

Oh .... I forgot, I am in the middle of watching ‘Rebus’ solve another crime in Edinburgh.   Off to put the kettle on then settle down to watch what's left of it.

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
