Nice quiet morning ....

28th August 2022 (Sunday)    08.15 .... Today is going to be a ‘rest day’.  


It’s not a great drying day, and I feel lazy ... er ... in a restful mood.   I’ve been for the paper (in the car) and had a quick trip to the harbour and a walk on the beach.   It’s a quiet morning, with a layer of low cloud drifting in from the North Sea on a light NE breeze;  I’m hoping for  sunny spells later....there’s blue sky showing on the Lochgelly weather cam.  I'm hungry... it’s breakfast time.

22.00    I’ve enjoyed a good rest day.... and tomorrow will be another one; Iain isn’t coming down until the 10th September.  That means I have another week to sort out the single bed.... loads o’ time;  and it means I can have a couple of ‘play days’.... or more. 


We ended up with a beautiful, bright sunny and warm, afternoon and evening;  a really bonnie day for  holiday makers on a Bank holiday weekend.   I went to Methil to have tea with Alice, Theresa (Alice and George’s daughter) and Sandy (Theresa’s husband).... it was a really enjoyable afternoon.   Alice is in the early stages of bereavement, but is keeping active and coping well.  Her daughters live locally and keep her ‘on her toes’;  and she lives in a quiet cul-de-sac in Methil with friends all around.  

My ‘plan for tomorrow has been amended since Iain phoned earlier in the evening;  I think tomorrow could end up being a ‘play day’.  The weather forecast is much the same as it was for today; but there’s a ‘low chance of precipitation’ in the early morning, followed, (I’m feeling optimistic) by sunny spells in the afternoon.   I want to get out early on the bike so that I can empty the battery, then get it fully charged for the afternoon;  and I want the ‘low chance of precipitation’ to happen somewhere else.

 I noticed that the signage for the road closures is starting to make more sense, with


HGV’s being directed away from Lower Largo and the quiet, and narrow, country roads.   

Tomorrow I shall read my Sunday paper (Observer)....and catch up with all the latest re the cost of staying alive this coming winter;  and probably the next two as well.  It is not going to be easy.

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
