Gorgeous looking mirrah this morrrning ....

1st April 2022 (Friday)   08.00 .... Welllll April has started with  a cracker o’ a


mornin’;  there is a touch of frost, and a light breeze off the Northwest... and it is supposed to be decreasing (though it disnae feel like it) so I’ll get the bike out later in the mornin’:   I'm hoping for 'fairly quiet' around the middle of the day.

10.00    I have solved the increase in the central heating costs.  My heating controls are a set of ‘buttons’ that I can move around the house.... all I’ve done is put them on top of a radiator.   It’s brilliant.... Ivy is warm in ‘nae time’.   Must ‘go’ “ever so slight flap on”.... it’s nearly coffee time.

20.30    I am absolutely shattered tonight;  after a busy(ish) day.   I went out, on the bike after my morning coffee break, picked up the paper and my prescription from the Chemist.... then down to the harbour.   I photographed my way home in time for lunch... and to catch the postie delivering the Fine Line pens.

I’ve had a funny day;  been feeling ‘one degree under’, though I did manage to do all the


things I wanted done: Except make up Iain’s bed... but I have until Thursday to do that.   I’m travelling up to Iain and Jackie’s for a short ‘oliday.    There’s a vintage tractor Rally and procession that has to photographed.   The ‘procession is from Ellon to Cruden Bay so we’ll find a spot to catch the tractors on the move.

I’ve checked out the pens and they are ‘iggzactly’ what I want.   I didn’t get any drawing done today but should get some done tonight and tomorrow.  


Neil’s (Goodwin) photography exhibition is ‘on’ in the Ferry Hall tomorrow;  it was on this afternoon but I was feeling ‘iffy’.   I’m going to test myself tomorrow morrrning... before I have food, and before I go out anywhere.   I don’t think I have ‘the bug’, but I feel like I might have something.   An early night in bed is called for methinks.   It’s time for the bedtime chocolate and a quick browse through the tele Channels.

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
