Peaceful morning .....

3rd June 2023 (Saturday)     08.30 .... It’s a quiet, sunny morning with only a


light breeze off the sea:  this could be a ‘play’ day.   I’ve been to Elie for the paper and visited the harbour;  the tide was out so there wasn’t much going on.... it will liven up by mid morning.   I imagine the beach will be very busy later.  High tide is at 14.47.   





21.00   It has been another bonnie day, and is ending as it began ....bonnie and quiet.   I enjoyed my few hours with Alice;  we didn’t go to the shops or anything.... just had quiet time blethering and sitting out in her back garden in the warm sunshine.  Actually I think I might have touch of sunburn.    We had a salad lunch followed by a meringue with strawberries and ice cream:  having food with someone is far better than eating alone.  


Back at Ivy I watched the FA cup final (between the two Manchester teams);  I only saw the first goal because I kept falling asleep.   I saw the goals in the replays at the end.   Manchester City beat Manchester United 2 – 1.   I had an afternoon coffee to waken me up then went out to the Hutte to draw;  I should finish the ‘Jock o’ Buchlyvie’ memorial slab sketch tomorrow.   Tomorrow is going to be a quiet, rest day; I’ll go up for the paper, then up to Chapel Green Lane to have morning coffee with Heather, Ray and Alistair.  The bike battery will be need charging after that; I hope to go for a slightly longer ‘run’ on Monday.    The weather forecast for the rest of the week is ‘good’; apart from the onshore breeze... so I can go for the longer run almost any day

next week:   unless we have a quick change with the weather.  There is the chance of haar/low cloud being around early and late.

I’m ready for my bedtime chocolate after a ‘busy’ and enjoyable day.  I woke up feeling lethargic today so a restful day was what I needed.   Tomorrow will be another ‘restful’ day.   I should be loupin' aboot aw ower the place after that.

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
