Quiet kind o' mornin' ....

26th January 2021 (Wednesday)     07.30 .... The weather cams don’t look


promising, but I’ll have a walk to the beach, because that sets me up for the day.   There’s something magical about sitting there absorbing Elie and Earlsferry calmness.  

14.30    I’m finding it cauld today, and feel that it should be raining;  we have a blustery wind  but, so far, no rain.   I went to St Monans, but was too late to even consider the walk;  but I had a walk up Narrow Wynd to Braehead, then along Braehead a wee bit and down past the Masonic Lodge to Narrow Wynd and back to the car.    Not long walk but there was plenty fresh air.   I thought I might meet the ‘kirk walkers’ but they must have gone towards the East end of town.   I did meet a group of folk out with their dogs;  I didn’t meet anyone I knew.    I felt auld.

I have a delivery coming this afternoon. The first one of two things I ordered a couple of days ago.   The other one is coming by Royal Mail (today it’s Hermes) and I expect it tomorrow or Friday.    Tomorrow is going to be a ‘rest day’.

St Monans.

22.30     We’ve had a strong wind since the middle of the afternoon... and it’s still windy.    I spent the afternoon working the computer;  it has been a restful day.   Tomorrow will be another of the same.... unless I get a delivery time from Royal Mail.    I can check that out right now.   That wisnae much guid (5 minutes later).... they update after they have tried to deliver the parcel;  so I’ll have to stay in until the post has been ... usually about midday: unless it comes by Parcel Force.    I need to go to Elie after 10.00 tomorrow, but I won’t hang around.

Tomorrow is going to be ‘sunny with a moderate breeze’; a good drying day.  I wonder if

St Monans.

I could find, even a half load;   enough to warrant switching on the machine.  

 I think it’s tomorrow that we, Myra, Kirstie Geoff and me, are going to the 19th  for afternoon tea;  Myra will phone and remind me... I hope.

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
