Peaceful morning

 

16th April 2022 (Saturday)     08.00 ....It’s one of those lovely early Spring


mornings... you know;   a bit of mist and a touch of romance in the air, a magical mixture.   I’ve been for the paper and to the harbour... in the car.   The car battery is fully charged so I can relax and enjoy our wee villages.;  I’ll go out on the bike after morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee.






18.30    This has been a bonnie day;  and a quiet one for me.... in fact let’s call it a ‘super rest day’.   I enjoyed morning tea and chat with Alistair, Claire and ‘The Troops’ at ‘Balvonie’.   Alistair and Claire have done a load of work both inside and outside ‘Balvonie’;  this gave me the urge to ‘work’.   I went back to Ivy full of ‘plans’.

Back at Ivy I set about organising something for lunch (some kind o’ Chicken ‘Things’) then went out to The Hutte to contemplate the ‘work plan’.    I’ll start the work tomorrow.  As is my norm after lunch I fell asleep in The Hutte.   I’d forgotten to put the bike ‘on charge’ so I couldn’t go out on it.... so ended up doing some work on the Rires project.  Yes I’d say I’ve had a restful day.


22.00    I’ve enjoyed an evening of TV and drawing.... so I’m a content ‘Boy’ tonight.   I intend being slightly more active tomorrow morning;  in fact if the roads are quiet I might take the bike along to pick up the paper;  ‘light cloud with a moderate breeze’ is the weather forecast... with warm sunny intervals.

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
