Nice morning ....

19th June 2023 (Monday)      07.00 .... The rain has moved away and, although


we have lot of cloud about,  it looks like we could have warm and sunny day by lunchtime: ‘light rain showers with a moderate breeze’ is the forecast.    I didn’t hear any thunder during the night;  the nearest lightning strikes being  SW of Edinburgh (Gorebridge).   Anyway we have blue patches starting to appear in the sky..... the countryside will look fresh after the rain; ..... and the kettle has boiled.   It’s a ‘play day’.

09.45   I decided to go for a wander up to the seat at the 17th green for a change o’ scenery;  when I got there, feeling slightly ambitious, I went for the Pony field and golf course.   It was a bit o’ a struggle as it’s not a good ‘breathing day’.... however I fancied the exercise, the golf course was looking colourful after the rain.... and I could see a load o’ photographs that I wanted.    It was a slow wander but I did it and I’m happy with the photographs.    Today is now a ‘rest’ day.


12.15   I’ve been for the paper, and handed in my prescription;  did some ‘ousework then had a browse of today's photographs.   The next thing I need to do is have a lite bite lunch.... a roll with salad stuff on it is what I fancy;  and I have the ingredients.   The afternoon will be spent drawing/ resting.




21.00   It has been a bonnie day.... we even had some nae bad lookin’ clouds;  and a short sharp shower out of one of them.  I didn’t go out again; this morning’s exercise was enough.

My bike is being picked up on Wednesday afternoon so I’ll be back in action soon: that said, it depends on what needs doing.  I’m having to use a new bike repair man (from Largoward); ‘2 Wheel Care’ in Pitscottie is ‘Permanently Closed’ according to their website.   It’s just as well the bike is out of action, my shed needs to be moved about 18 inches or so.   That isn’t very much;  it’s making it light enough to move that’s the problem.   I have set up the outside table so that I can put stuff under it and on top of it,

My teabag squeezing hands.

then cover it with a big plastic sheet I have... in case of inclement weather.   This will be the shove I needed to get the shed emptied.  Actually, if the shed isn’t moved too far I’ll leave it in its new position.   ‘The Boy’ shall be in ‘flap on’ mode for the next few days... and probably have a few visits to the ‘dump’ at Pittenweem.

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
