Quiet morning ....

1st July 2022 (Friday)    07.30 ....We have an overcast sky just now, and the


weather forecast is ‘light rain showers and a moderate breeze’ for KY9.... but there a fresh feel to the air, it’s warm and I’m feeling excitable.   I don’t know whether to get the bike out now or later;  the sky does look showery at present.   I’ll make my mind up after I have another cuppa.

10.45   The paper has been uplifted, Alan conversed with, punnet o’ strawberries bought.... and the harbour checked.    All is good in Elie and Earlsferry this beautiful morrrrrrrrrrrrrning.   It’s now coffee time, after which I think I might go up to Chapel Green on the bike.


19.00    I couldn’t go out because the book I had ordered was being delivered today.   A specific time wasn’t mentioned (sometimes you get a two hour time slot) so I had to stay in until the delivery van arrived:  which was at 17.30.  Having had a quick, random, scan through the book (“The Lindsay's of Balcarres”;  a century of an ancient Scottish Family in photographs by Ludovic Lindsay) I am totally ‘over the moon’.  Staying in wasn’t a problem;  today we had  Stage One of ‘le Tour’ so I was watching that, in between pottering around in Ivy.   I didn’t work in the garden because I might have missed the delivery man.   I am a happy boy;  I might go for a short wander later in the evening.

21.30    The showers haven’t moved away…. it’s raining right now… so I won’t be going


out for a daunder.   The plan is to be a bundle o’ activity tomorrow morrrrrning:  and spend the afternoon working in the garden, and watching Stage 2 of the Tour intermittently.   Stage 2 is 182 kilometers and flat, so it should be a day for the sprinters.   

Our weather forecast (for tomorrow)  is ‘nae bad’…. ‘light showers with a moderate breeze’;  much the same as today in fact.   I might spend more time watching than working.

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
