Lovely fresh morning ....

5th August 2022 (Friday)     09.30 ....There’s a fresh feel to the early morning


air now;  a touch of Autumn in fact.  It’s a beautiful morning and I was looking forward to going to Kirkcaldy with Alice but had to cancel that plan because a migraine kicked in when I was at the harbour.  (When is the worst time to have a migraine?.... first thing in the morning).    I’ll potter around Ivy for the rest of the day.... and fall asleep in front of the tele.   Right now I need another cuppa.


21.00    This has been a ‘rest day’;   although I washed some bed linen, including a downie cover.... but that was all the ‘work’ I did.   Most of the time was spent dozing... and watching the Commonwealth Games.   At one point I ended up watching gymnasts doing rhythmic gymnastics (I think that’s what it’s called)  with a ball;  that was magical.   When they had the ball close to their body is was as if the ball was still and they were winding themselves around it.   They also did another exercise using a long ribbon on a stick... and another with two clubs.    They must have rubber joints;  not the clubs... the gymnasts.


We have a bonnie evening;  though it is breezy and feels cooler.  Light cloud and a fresh breeze is the forecast for tomorrow;  I should get out on the bike early.... earlier than I was this morning.   I met the ‘bucket cairt’ on the road from Liberty to Elie....the other vehicles behind it.   It was quieter on the way home.

No plan for tomorrow:  but I’ll finish the bathroom.  There isn’t much to do but I’m thinkin’ I’ll buy a warmer looking shower curtain;  I fancy one with poppies,  or some other bright flowers on it if I can find one.   The present curtain in blue with fish on it;  not very warm looking.   I’m thinking of the cold of winter; and it’s going to be cold this winter.  I’m thinking of the energy bills. Must ‘go’... ‘flap on’:  I need to find a bedtime book to read.   You won’t believe it..... I finished reading ‘Robinson Crusoe’ last night;  a lot of years have passed by since I last read Robison Crusoe.   He didn’t have to worry about energy prices!

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
