Peaceful, fresh morning ....

26th July 2022 (Wednesday)      06.30 ....I’m feeling rested and ready to play

Kinneuchar.

 work, on what is a fresh morning.  There’s a cool light breeze from the WNW with a few clouds about:  the forecast is for showers to bubble up in the middle part of the day.... as they did yesterday.   I’m going to have another cuppa then, once the air is slightly warmer, I'll get the bike out.    It’s 10C just now.

12.30   Ye Gods;  bumblin’ around on the bike is tirin’.   I had an enjoyable, early morning run up to Kinneuchar then home by way of Elie (forgot the paper) and was well ready for breakfast when I got back to Ivy.  I played with the photos I got then fell fast asleep for three quarters of an hour after breakfast.    It must be all the fresh air I got when out.   Anyway when I surfaced I thought it was Wednesday, and promptly went into ‘Flap on’ mode because I had a prescription to hand in.   I had a cuppa then louped into the car and went to the Chemist, to find it was only Tuesday so there was plenty time for the prescription to be processed:  I’m a happy boy.   The roads are busy even the ‘used tae be quiet’ Balbuthie road.   Now that I’m active I think I’ll do an online shopping;  I'd go to one of the shops but there's a touch of 'the mauchless' in the air.


13.30    The online shopping has been done;  and migraine has kicked in, so a quiet afternoon ahead.

20.45    I’ve had a very quiet, and lazy, day...and intend having an early night in bed.   England (Women) are playing Sweden in one of the Euro 2022 semi finals this evening;  I might watch the second half of that.   Women’s football hasn’t been tainted with the childish antics that you have on the men’s circuit;  women play the game the way it should be played.

It has been a nice day today and it’s ending with a bonnie evening.   I intended going out


on the bike again this evening but the migraine ended that plan.  We’re going to have ‘sunny intervals and a gentle breeze’ tomorrow.... in fact it’s going to be a fine morning for me going out early:  the roads are too busy for me once the traffic gets going.

I had big ‘plans’ for today;  going up to Beaufort Cottage for morning coffee being one of them;  however I should be ‘bright eyed and bushy tailed’ tomorrow morning... so I'll try to take a run up to Chapel Green at the appropriate time.

00   England beat Sweden 4 – 0 in the semi final;  and it might well have been 5.  The other semi final is between Germany and France tomorrow with the final on Sunday.  There’s no doubt that England  are well capable of winning Euro 2022.

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
