Lovely morning....

13th July 2022 (Wednesday)   07.30 .... there’s a lovely fresh breeze this


morning, at the start of what is going to be another bonnie day.... but not as hot as it has been for the past few days.   I have Leven this morning, then Stage 11 of ‘the Tour’ in the afternoon.   ‘The Open’ starts tomorrow with Paul Lawrie teeing off in the first group at 06.35;   so from tomorrow, through to Sunday, I will have a choice of viewing. 

19.00    Thankfully we had a cooling breeze today;  even then it was hot in the sun.   The car has had its knee cap fixed plus something else they found when in there;  I am a happy bunny.

I went to Janet’s while the car was being done... and Lesley came round so we did a lot of catching up.... and we had a lot to catch up with.   We then went to Lesley’s (next door) to check out the decking that Lesley had painted;  and made a really good job of it.  I like the colours.   No snaggin’ line required!   We then admired the garden  and Lesley’s


bonsai trees.   Next door’s friendly cat appeared and cast a few cat hairs over Lesley.   Janet and I then went back to Janet’s and had a bowl o’ soup, before I eventually set off up the road to the garage.   I had to wait about an another hour and a half because they had to wait for a new bit to be delivered.    I had a browse round Banbeath industrial estate... well a bit of it.   All is good at Banbeath.

This morning I found a huge spider in the bath, so I picked it up, tossed it out at the back door.   ‘Blob’ (bless his feathery butt) promptly went down seized the spider and went off to feed it to one of his second brood of cat snacks... er fledglings.   It’s a cruel world right enough.

I am well tired tonight;  however I have nothing planned for tomorrow so I’ll manage to find time to ‘rest’:  with the Open golf and Le tour to keep an eye on I think falling asleep at some point is nigh on a certainty.

20.30   The North American Indians called the July full moon (tonight) the ‘Thunder


Moon’.... because it’s the thunder season.   The moon doesn’t rise until 22.36 and the sky is clouding over, so we might not see it.   I’ll check the sky nearer the time.

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
