er .... slept in!

29th August 2022 (Monday)      09.00 .... Well....... I missed the early part of


the morning;   I read my book (in bed) until 22.30 and didn’t wake up until 07.20 (nearly 9 hours later)..... long past my normal time of 05.30.    My work activities of the past couple of days must have caught up with me. Anyway, this morning  has a promising look  to it;   the forecast is for us to have thick cloud with a gentle breeze,.... but, at the moment, the cloud  is showing signs that indicate sunny spells later.... but the gentle breeze is off the North Sea.... so things could change.    I’m going to make another cuppa, feed Blob and have a look  'ower the gate’.

11.00   Sleepin’ in totally upsets my routine the whole day;  that said, I probably needed the rest.  However, I’ve been out on the bike, but only as far as ‘Nana’s Seat’ then up to Chapel Green.   ‘Pole Star’, the Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB) buoy servicing vessel, provided an interest change of scene in the bay this morning... which is why I was at ‘Nana’s Seat’.   This is going to be a rest day...  until the bike battery is charged; once that is done I might take a run up towards Kinneuchar, in the afternoon.   Ye Gods it’s morning coffee time already.

22.30   I never did catch up with the lost couple of hours when I slept in this morning;  but I’ve had a restful day and hope to be fresh and frisky tomorrow morning .... at 06.00.   I did a wee bit o’ ousework (nothing strenuous) and read the Sunday paper;  the ‘Comment and Analysis’ article by Andrew Rawnsley -“Sunak and Truss care more about their small differences than the crises facing Britain”- is really interesting.  It doesn’t matter which one wins, the gap between rich and poor will get wider.   A couple of weeks ago Truss said that “it isn’t evil for a company to make a profit”.... and she is right;  but, if one person dies this winter because they can’t afford to stay warm, or eat healthily, due to the cost of staying alive,....that ‘Ms Truss would be evil.


I hope to be back to normal tomorrow, and get up at my normal time of 06.00.   The weather is going to be more or less the same as today... cloudy at first with sunny spells in the afternoon.   It’s chocolate 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
