Lively morning ....

1st August 2022 (Monday)   08.00 ....Well... it’s a bright and breezy morning


and, in spite of the wind chill, its warmer than I thought it would be .... though there is a touch of Autumn in the air..  I haven’t been out on the bike.... I didn’t get up until 06.45 so I’m running late.   The weather forecast is good... but there is a chance of showers later in the afternoon/evening.    I’m feeling lively even though I slept in; actually...it’s maybe because I slept in.

13.15   The ‘News’ (TV) is all about the Lionesses victory yesterday;  in fact I imagine it won’t be long before we have 16 new ‘Dames’:  picture the problems the commentators will have the next time the Lionesses play an international match; “Dame Mary Earps throws the ball out to Dame Lucy Bronze etc”...commentating could become a tricky job.  Another thing I thought about when watching the match yesterday;  The Manager of the men’s ... oops Lions must be a worried man ....!

I have been working (gently) in Ivy and can report that progress, though slow, is steady.


21.30    I’ve just found out that it’s raining ... and has been for some time by the look of it.  Having checked the forecast the rain we have just now is going to move away by the morning to leave us with a mostly cloudy and warm day;  with sunny spells in the afternoon.

Here is a bit of completely useless information;  there’s never a good time to have a migraine,....  but the worst time of all is first thing in the morning, because it spoils a whole day.   Actually I’ve had a reasonably busy day;  but I did take time out to watch the track cycling in the afternoon.... but tended to fall asleep and miss the end of some races.

Tomorrow I must do more de man-caving;   Michael and Janice arrive on the 11th... a


week come Thursday.   I’m doing ‘nae bad’ but things take longer to do nowadays.    Okay... I won’t switch on the tele tomorrow;  that way I won’t be sidetracked by the Commonwealth Games.

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
