Bonnie mornin' .....

 29th May 2023 (Monday)    10.30 ....  I enjoyed the paper run this morning; 

'Hermione' with the troops in tow. 

the weather was (and still is) perfect with a bonnie early morning light for the camera.... with photographs jumpin’ out at me all the way round.    And I remembered to pick up the paper.     We have one happy boy at Ivy.... who is now  ready for morrrrrrrrning coffee before doing any ‘work’.   Enjoy you day....actually it’s a  it’s a ‘play’ day.  I might leave the ‘work’ until later.


19.38   (That was a good year)    I could get used to this kind of weather.... even with the East wind.   Apart from falling asleep in The Hutte for half an hour, I’ve had a busy and enjoyable day.   I cut down a Pendulous Sedge that I want rid of... and will have a go at uprooting the roots tomorrow.   Actually it’s hard to believe how Pendulous Sedge came into the garden but I am going to well you anyway.   The only place I have seen this sedge, in recent years, is at the Balcarres Sawmill pond.... and I can only think that O picked up

some of the tiny seeds on my feet and they took root in the garden.   It only takes one plant to seed and grow and they spread all over the place in ‘nae time’.  I think it would be about seven years ago that I noticed the first plant .... and let it grow because they do look bonnie.   The ‘flower stems’ look like fishing rods, with the seed head dangling at the tip: when the wind blows they wave around and scatter the seeds.   And they spread.   Anyway I think I have just got rid of the last one.



21.30   I seem to have been active all day today; gardening, ‘ousework and drawing.  There was ‘time out’ when I read the paper and fell asleep in the afternoon;  but I feel happy and content with today’s efforts.

Tomorrow I’m looking forward to visiting and having lunch at Alice’s; tomorrow is going


to be a ‘relax and rest’ day. ‘Sunny with a moderate breeze’ is the weather forecast; it will be an excellent drying day and I don’t have anything in the machine.  We are coming into a reasonable spell of settled weather.... the only problem being the Easterly wind direction.... and even an East wind shouldn’t be much of a problem with light winds and a sunny day.

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
