Quiet morrrrrrrrrrrrrrrning .....

28th May 2022 (Saturday)    07.00....my goodness .... nae wind this morning;


  I’ll get the bike out.   When I say ‘nae wind’ I mean nothing like we’ve had for the past couple of days;  there is a light breeze from the WNW (F2-3) and that will freshen over the morning but only up to F4 or so.  Another cuppa then a quick turn round the villages (on the bike), pick up the paper .... then work.   Then I'll work until the bike battery is charged up and go out again, in the afternoon.    Happy boy. 

09.00    Well .... I had to have a slight change o’ plan;  because someone forgot to charge up the bike battery I was only able to do Earlsferry.... on what is a beautiful morning for biking.   The battery is being charged now so I should get out again after lunch.  The village was quiet, but I met Keith at Chapel Green out walking the dogs... and saw a few people on the beach.   It’s a grand day for working .... and it’s good to be wanting to do things again.

10.00   You’d hardly believe it;   the wind has veered slightly towards the NNE and we now have a layer of cloud between us and the sun.... so is cooler than it was when I was out earlier.  However, the sun is beginning to burn the cloud off to bring us the sunny spells mentioned in the weather forecast.... and raise the air temperature again.   I’m having ‘morrrrrrrning coffee’ before  doing some more tidying around The Hutte.





20.30    It has been a bonnie day...and with only a light breeze so very pleasant.   I worked in the garden most of the day... actually pottered about in the garden would be a better description.   I’m happy with what I managed to do but it’s frustrating not being able to ... well... ‘work’.   I want to ‘work’, and I’m slowly getting things done again. 

In between short spells of work I sit in The Hutte and read or do a Soduko.   This afternoon I’m sitting with the Soduko book in my hand, when ‘Blob’ flies in and perches on the book.   He is really tame now that he’s feeding young.   I feed him (and wife) crumbles digestive biscuit inside The Hutte;  that way they don’t get bothered by most of the bigger birds.

My muscles are slightly stiff tonight;  I think a hot shower is called for, followed by

The new 'Four Winds'.

bedtime chocolate with a dash of ‘something’ in it.

Tomorrow is going to be much the same as today, though slightly breezier.    The bike battery is fully charged so I hope to get round the villages at some point.   I totally forgot about the Salvation Army Band on the toll green this afternoon.  I still suffer from fatigue in the afternoon and cat-nap in The Hutte.

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
