Quiet and peaceful ....

8th November 2021 (Monday)   10.00 ....There’s nae wind this morning, so

07.33


all is quiet and peaceful again.   I’ve been ‘roond the villages’ and all is where it should be.... except my paper which is still in the shop.   I’ll go out in the car later and pick it up then:  I’m trying for a whole week of picking up the paper in the morning.... but not necessarily when I’m out first thing.  

The sky is starting to thicken from the West; so the band of rain, mentioned in the weather forecast, could well be lurking out there.   I think it’s coffee time.

12.00    I’ve been for the paper, then on to the ‘Store’ to do some shopping;   I got what I wanted but a lot of the shelves were empty..... crisps etc.    And, this is hard to believe.... no Rich Tea biscuits!....and I like Rich Tea biscuits. 

The sky has clouded over but the light rain has yet to reach us;  however I have things to do on the computer, and maybe even have a catnap.   ‘Puku’ (bless his  shapely 10 pack) is hungry.


20.00    I have ordered SSAFA  Christmas cards, instead of printing off my own this year.   I enjoy doing own cards, but this way the money is going to a charity;  and all charities are dependent on donations.    Catnap? ..... yes I managed to have quiet rest in the middle of the afternoon.  

The predicted rain duly arrived though it wasn’t very heavy, and didn’t last long.   I had a wander down to the beach at sunset time:  the actual going down of the sun wasn’t visible, but it was very peaceful, and the beach was busy with walkers..... and our local swimming group, ‘the ‘Blue Tits’, were enjoying a swim in calm water, rather than the bumpy stuff of the past two days.

Comment.    Someone needs to take Boris aside and tell him that this is no longer Eton


Playgroup politics;  this is the real World, with real people: People who depend on him, and his cronies, acting with integrity;  and, setting a good example wouldn’t go amiss either.    We have a planet to save!     Moan over.   (and ....I feel better).   Apologies to anyone I may have offended, but Boris has upset me.... again.

Tomorrow is going to be a better day.... and I have a fully charged battery on the bike.

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
