Feeling 'almost frisky'....

28th November 2022 (Monday)    07.00   There’s been a touch of ‘light


precipitation’ a wee while ago, but not enough to qualify as a ‘bad hair day’.    The weather forecast for us is .... (25 minute pause) .... “sunny intervals and a light breeze, with the chance of light precipitation”.  I’m feeling ‘brighter eyed and more bushy tailed’ this morning;  in fact I feel quite playful.   I’ll have to loup intae the car and go for the paper.... and milk: Can’t have breakfast without milk.    Slight ‘flap on’ now;  I’m hungry.

09.15    Although looking ever so slightly ominous, we had a beautiful sunrise sky this morrrning.   I’d been for the paper and at the harbour, where I intended to catch the sunrise, but changed my mind and went down to Nana’s Seat when I got back home.   I had noticed that the car had a soft tyre, so I inflated that at the harbour.   There wasn’t a cap on the valve so I don’t know if someone had let the air out of it or it’s a slow puncture.   Anyway, now that it’s through its MOT I’m booking the car in for a service, so I’ll get the garage to look at it: I can’t change a wheel now.

I’ve had breakfast... now I’m ready for a cuppa.   My back is feeling good, and I feel like doing things but I’m going to take it easy for another day at least.  Orf to put the kettle ‘on’.


18.30   My word.... this has been a really good day;  and I’m not just thinking of the weather.    Oh the weather has been ‘bright and sunny’ all day;;  but the fact that I have been able to do stuff was the best bit.    I framed a picture .... something that isn’t physically hard to do but requires a wee bit of thought;   I enjoyed doing  that, and it is something that I used to do all the time when Maggie and I made the wee golf clubs.   I celebrated with a cuppa then went up to Kinneuchar for a run in the car at sunset time to catch the setting sun light on the kirk.

I must have been well tired after all that, because I fell sound asleep watching the fitba’,


and woke up with a start about 20 minutes ago wondering where I was.   I'm thinking that another cuppa would get me going.

22.15    I’m having my chocolate, and wondering what I should do tomorrow.  The weather forecast is ‘good’.... but there is a bit of mist/fog just now so we might have a foggy start to the day;  and the weather dictates what I do.  I’ll see how the weather is in the morrrrrrrning.   I’m a happy and contented ‘boy’ tonight.

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
