Quiet morning....

11th February 2023 (Saturday)     08.15....Nae water pressure at present due


to a burst pipe in Ainster: the repair has been done and, according to the Scottish Water website, all should be back to normal soon.  ‘Nae Flap on’ ....I have enough water in the kettle for three cuppas!

It’s a quiet kind of morning.... there's a layer of light cloud just now, with a light wind from the WNW; the air is mild for this time of year.  I may get the bike oot efter breakfast....and before the wind freshens.  

10.00    I’ve been on the ‘SW’ site and they have discovered a ‘secondary leak’ in Anstruther so the water will be ‘off’ until that leak is repaired.   Scottish Water (SW) is going to distribute bottled water if necessary.  "Flap on" now as I have only enough water in the kettle for one ‘mugga’.



14.45     "Flap Off";  Monica and Andrew were going to Leven and brought me a big bottle of water for drinking:  the tap water is back on but I’d only use it for making tea or coffee.   I was glad of the bottle because I hadn’t been able to fully hydrate first thing: I begin my morning with a pint of water and at least one cuppa.   This morning I took a chance and went out on the bike while probably slightly dehydrated.    I went for the paper then came home by way of Elie Estate;  and used the one ‘mugga’ of water in the kettle, mentioned above.   Andrew and Monica arrived back from Leven not long after I’d made the tea and I was able to catch up with my liquid intake;  so ....a big “Thank You” to Monica and Andrew;  the bottle of water was much appreciated.   I am now going make another cuppa the settle down to watch the rugby.  

20.00    I’ve had a quiet afternoon ....  though I might have got slightly excited watching Scotland v Wales.   I didn’t fall asleep watching the Ireland v France game either.   Not the busiest of afternoons but an enjoyable one.

Tomorrow’s weather looks like being much the same as today’s;  actually I might do


some garden work now that the broon bucket is empty.   It all depends on how I’m feeling.... right now I’m feeling tired, so I’m going to make the chocolate, watch a bit of TV, then have an early night with Aberdeen’s ghosts poltergeists.

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 f...

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 l...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
