Sunny and warm ....

27th June 2021 (Sunday)   12.00 .... we have a sunny and warm morning, and I


had a really enjoyed the warm sunshine when I went for the paper.   I went for the paper later than usual and the villages were busy;  the beach will be busy in the afternoon.

Iain is still looking through the attic for one box of ‘N’ gauge rail stuff;  he found a lot of it, but one box, containing points etc. is still ‘missing’.    I’ll have a look on the first rainy day:  this is Scotland, and its summer so there will be a few of those.   Rainy days i.e.


18.30  Well it has been a busy weekend.... and the one box we want is still ‘in a secret place’.    Ivy Cottage is full of secret places.... and all the secret places will be full!.... The problem is secret places can’t be found.   The Tour de France has been on the tele all afternoon and we took time out to watch that now and again.   Oops ‘Blob’ has made his way into in the computer room;  I’d better open the window, close the door and let him out.   He is feeding ‘bairn Blobs’ just now so is on ‘the mooch’.   


It was a bonnie day, so Iain set up his new airbrush equipment, outside The Hutte, and had a practice at ‘aging’ some old ‘OO’ gauge coaches;  very effective it is too.   When he was doing that I fell sound asleep watching the Tour... after a hectic morning.   The ‘plan’ is to have an early night in bed, and be super fit tomorrow.    Super fit means .... vertical.

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
