Lovely morning ....

14th August 2023 (Monday)   08.30 .... It’s a bonnie, calm morning;  a good


‘play day’.    I haven’t been out yet but will take a turn up to Chapel Green after breakfast.    ‘Sunny intervals with a gentle breeze’ is the weather forecast;  should be a good drying day, so I have a washing going through the machine. 

10.00   Clouds are starting to appear.... and my washing is on the line.   I’m thinkin’ showers could come our way in the afternoon.   I’ve been up to Chapel Green (on the bike.... and had breakfast.   Now I’m ready for another cuppa before going along to Methil to visit Alice.  We’re going to a Coffee afternoon in the Scoonie Care Home.



19.30   It has been a gorgeous day;  sunny and warm/hot with a light cooling breeze.   I imagine the beach must have been busy.    After a big lunch at Alice’s, I had ‘50’ then we visited the Scoonie Care Home and had coffee/tea with a few of the residents two of them being friends of Alice.  Irene is Izzy’s (Alice’s daughter) mother in law.   Cheryl, one of the carers, had made chocolate cake and it was absolutely ‘light as  a feather’ .... and very very tasty.    Homemade chocolate cake doesn’t have calories.   You didn’t know that?   Welll.... I don’t think they have very many calories!   Just before Alice and I came away Cheryl gave me a container with a piece of the cake and an Angel Cake in it.  Alice go the Angel Cake... as a reward for putting up with me all afternoon!

I arrived back at Ivy about 16.45.... and promptly fell sound asleep for about 45 minutes.  I’ve had sandwiches and chocolate cake for dinner and now ready for a quiet evening in front of the tele.

21.00    I’ve had an enjoyable day in spite of being awfie tired most of the time

Clouds over Balcarres Estate.

(weather).   I couldn't have been very good company for Alice.... she's always happy.  In fact I had a migraine an hour ago so should have a really good sleep tonight;  and be frightfully frisky tomorrow.   I certainly wisnae ‘frightfully frisky’ today!   The bike has a fully charged battery for tomorrow morning;  and the weather forecast is good;  much the same as today with clouds building up after midday.

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
