Feeling playful .....

21st March 2022 (Monday)    The Vernal equinox happened at 15.33 yesterday....so this is the first day of Astronomical Spring. 

06.00   It’s a nice morning but there’s a lot of low cloud around just now however that will


disappear once the sun gets going; there’s a light south westerly breeze and the garden thermometer is showing 2C, so it’s not warm.   I’ll go for the paper (on the bike) once the sun is up:  that could take a while ‘cos there’s a huge bank of cloud on the eastern horizon. 

08.00   ‘The Boy’ (that’s me) has been busy this morrrrrning... on the computer:  it’s a bit cauld to go out on the bike just now.   The cloud is starting to break up and we have a lot of blue patches coming over from the West.  Yes the breeze is from the West just now, though it is forecast to back to the Southeast in the afternoon.   I can’t go out until the postie has been ‘cos there’s a parcel winging its way towards Ivy as I type;   until then I’m going to plug in  ‘Edna’ (another of my back up hard drives) to see what I can find on ‘her’.   ‘Edna’ is named after the lovely lady that that served up the food in one of the Fife College places in Glenrothes.    We fell seriously ‘in love’; Edna gave me extra chips.   


 20.30    The postie arrived ....(with two parcels) at ‘postie time’ (13.00 ish);  I am now intrigued as to where the second parcel originated;   there isn't a 'kloo' clue on the wrapping paper.   Exciting stuff.

The wind backed to the easterly direction after lunch so I didn’t go out on the bike.   What I did do instead was ‘work’ in the garden, at the bit where the clematis used to be, in the corner sheltered by The Hutte.  I did a wee bit of work then went and sat in The Hutte doing a Soduko; and conversing with ‘Blob’.   I think ‘Doris was sitting today... I only saw her once... fleetingly.

The weather is supposed to start getting warmer from tomorrow;  I am certainly looking


forward to that.   The ‘plan’ is to work in the garden again, and go out on the bike when it does get warmer;  that will probably be Wednesday.   I have plenty to do up at The Hutte part of the garden.

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 f...

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 l...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
