Nice morning ....

15th May 2022 (Sunday)    09.30 .... things are happening ‘aw ower the place’


this morning:  we have a new derrick on the pier.... Jock’s car is moored up at the Library;  the Library isnae ‘open’ so he must be golfin’.... and yacht ‘Tami Nori’ is at the mooring buoy.  Apart from the aforementioned everything else is where it should be.

We have a lovely morning... if it wisnae for a nice cool NE breeze it would be far too warm in the sun.   I’ve been for the paper (in the car) and ‘plan’ to go out on the bike later in the afternoon:  if it isn’t too warm..... actually I feel ‘slightly sluggish’ this morrrrrrrrning.   I have a paper to browse so I need to put the kettle 'on'.

18.30   Clean the windows?.... never even got the step ladders out:  in fact I spent the afternoon watching the TV and doing Soduko’s.   I’ve come to the conclusion that the virus I had was the COVID... the vaccine works really well on the physical bit.... sore head, throat and cough;  so well that it does feel like ‘just a cold’.    However the vaccine doesn’t seem to stop the longer term ‘side effects’;  such as fatigue etc.    This morning I wandered around the harbour... I enjoyed that.   I then enjoyed sorting out the photos I’d take, planning to clean the windows, making lunch (Sausages, mash and vegetables)


etc..... then the energy fizzles out.  I didn’t go out on the bike in the afternoon, mind you it was a bit windy (and from the wrong direction) for me.   I feel ‘positive’ .... but frustrated at the same time.   What we all need is a spell of warm sunny weather to help us to shake orf any bugs.   Must go ‘slight flap on’ .... I’m going to bring the step ladders in so that I can clean the insides of the windows tomorrow.

23.00    This is a late night for me, after watching a Jubilee Celebration on Channel 3.  I took some photos but whether they will be any good remains to be seen:  tomorrow!   It’s bed time for me now... and I suspect I won’t be getting ‘up’ early tomorrow morning.

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
