Breezy and overcast ....

10th February 2023 (Friday)    09.00.... I woke up at 08.00  (ten minutes


after sunrise)  feeling refreshed and playful.  My first thought was to go down to the beach and catch the sun rise....that plan changes after I looked at the clock.   So I showered, put some claes on, fed ‘Blob’ and brought in the bucket.   The bucket cairt must have been early on the ‘go’ today.  The weather?....the sky is overcast and there’s fresh breeze so with a low chance of precipitation.    It’s breakfast time.   My eyes are still a but upset by yesterdays test.

20.00    It was afternoon before my eyes recovered from yesterday’s test.... so I had a ‘rest morning’.   I decided to make a batch of Macaroni Cheese  for the freezer and , for me, that’s always a guddle; however I got 5 freezer meals out of it and lunch for tomorrow.   There’s always load of dishes, when I make macaroni cheese, but they have been put through the dishwasher and all is good in the kitchen again.   I’m enjoying working in the kitchen again.

I never went further than the front gate today;  but I am happy with what I have done around Ivy.   Right now I need a cuppa and to have a quick browse of the TV channels to see what’s on.


23.00    Funnily enough I have enjoyed myself today.... even though I never went ‘out and about’:  I’m sure we’ll have ‘sunny spells’ so I should be a bit more active outside tomorrow;  even if it’s only in the garden.   I have no actual ‘plan’ for tomorrow;  what I do depends a lot on the weather and it (the weather) is going to be ‘nae bad’.   If the weather is promising looking first thing I might go to the beach for sunrise.  

I’m thinkin’ it’s chocolate time then to bed to read a bit o’ my book;  the book is about ghosts, poltergeists and strange  happenings around the City of Aberdeen.   Fascinating book: and I have some strange dreams.

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
