Fresh autumnal morning ....

31st August 2022 (Wednesday)      06.45 .... On the last day of August we have


a bright morning with a light, cool, easterly breeze: in fact we have the start of a bonnie day, with more sunny spells than we had yesterday.   Oh dear... we should have a warm afternoon, and I’m feeling frolicsome again.... this could be a play day.

15.00    We have one tired ‘Boy’ at ivy just now;  after a busy and interesting morning.   I did a ‘dry goods’ shopping first;  then went to get Alice, have cuppa then go to the Letham Glen Activities Centre:  today was the first time it has been ‘open’ since the COVID pandemic began, and was only an introductory ‘Cafe and chat’ get thegither;  the plan is to have weekly meetings when you chat and have a cuppa while doing your ‘own thing’.   Hopefully the plans they have, come to fruition, because they would help a lot of people cope with what is going to be a difficult time ahead.


21.30    Happy happy ‘me’ .... ‘The Team’ (Myra, Kirsty, Geoff and me) are going to ‘The Smoke House’ (East Pier, St Monans) for lunch tomorrow;  it’s a few weeks since I’ve been at St Monans harbour.... and well before the COVID pandemic since I had food there.   The weather forecast is good for tomorrow .... “sunny with a light breeze”.... a bonnie day for being at St Monans ‘arbour.   The forecast also = a good drying day;  I might strip the single bed.   There will be ‘nae breengin’ with this bed..... the whole operation, stripping and putting back together, will be gently done.   It has taken me three days to recover from doing the double bed!   Its five months since I had the virus and, although I am definitely getting better, the fatigue still bothers me.   Mind you the cure for fatigue is pleasant enough;  an hour on top of the bed.

With the weather forecast being favourable the ‘plan for tomorrow is simple;  strip the


single bed and get the sheets etc through the machine and out on the line first thing:  when the washing is going through the machine, I’ll go ‘roond the villages’ on the bike.   Lunch is at 13.00 and that will be followed by a quiet and restful afternoon.  Yep .... I’m looking forward to ‘ra morra’.

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
