Bright and breezy ....

16th August 2021 (Monday)     08.00 .... It’s a nice, bright sunny and warm


morning, with a light breeze, and I am feeling playful after the pressure of the past few days.  At last I have the heating times and temperature to my way of liking for this time of year.   I haven’t a ‘play plan’ for today, but I must hand in a prescription sometime this morning;  so I’ll go somewhere on the bike then.  Right now it’s breakfast time.

20.30    What a glorious day we’ve had.... in fact it was so bonnie that I only did a circuit of the villages this morning;  there was stuff happening all over the place, and it was a bonnie light for the camera.   I enjoyed myself pottering round for an hour and a half.... it was relaxing.    The beach was busy as was the water, with the colourful sails of the dinghies adding their bit of brightness, to what was a bright and breezy morning.  

Mike came in just before lunch time to check the taps for drips;  and tightening a couple.    Otherwise I have had a quiet and restful day. 

 


I have been keeping an eye on the ‘News’ from Afghanistan, and really it is bad sad;   sad when you think of all the progress that has been made, over the past 20 years, to bring that country into 21st century thinking re Human Rights.... especially regarding women and girls.    Now all that 20 years of work could all be wasted, if the Taliban go back to the way it was when they were last in power, 20 years ago;  they say they won’t, but only time will tell.  And the stories coming out, from the cities now under Taliban rule, are not reassuring.

I ended up feeling one degree under today.... there was something in the air that set off my asthma, .... which is why I spent time watching the news,   Anyway I’m feeling brighter now and hope to be a bit more active tomorrow.   This morning’s run out on the bike was the only time I went anywhere.

The ‘plan’ for tomorrow is to make some Cottage Pies in the morning;  after I’ve been


for the paper, then go for a turn out on the bike in the afternoon .... ‘light cloud and a gentle breeze’ is the forecast and there is a chance of light rain first thing in the morning.   I’ll go for the paper in mid morning.

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
