Beautiful morning ....

 11th October 2023 (Wednesday)    08.00 ....We have a gorgeous Autumn morning;  the air is cooler (more


where it should be at this time of year), but not as cool as it is forecast to be at the weekend!    I haven't been for the paper yet, but the washing is on the line (it's a good drying day)....and I am feeling much friskier; the after effects of my trips to the attic are wearing off.  I'll go for the paper after this update... and another cuppa (got to keep hydrated... even in the cooler weather).

I was watching a lassie being interviewed on the BBC News last night (I don't remember her name) and she said there are no winners in a war.;  and she is right.  That said the Arms manufacturers and dealers are laughing their way to the bank.... in every war.   (They have much to answer for).  There's too much hatred being stirred up around the world: and we can't un-invent the guns and and bombs... with all the weaponry around the world  we'll probably blunder WWIII.  The human brain should be better than that.

09.30    I've been for the paper  and had breakfast;  my next mission is to The Store in Ainster, then on to Crail to have run around in the car.   Oh her (car) name is 'Myrtle'!


11.30   I enjoyed a browse round The Store this morning... and managed to get everything I wanted, but had to skip the Crail part of the plan, because I bought frozen stuff.   I have a dental appointment tomorrow morning so I'll do Crail after that.

I came home by way of Kellie Castle and Arncroach because I thought it would be quieter:  it was.... but I don't think any of the East Neuk back roads are really quiet now.   I've just remembered that I have to put the bike battery on charge.


15.00   The washing has dried ... and been ironed;  actually I think I deserve a cuppa for all the 'work' I've done!   The bike battery should be nigh on fully charged by now;  I don't intend going out on it again today, but I am thinking of a longer trip in the next day or so;  depending on the weather of course.   Orf to put the kettle 'on'.

20.00    It has been a lovely day;  I enjoyed my run to the Store in 'Myrtle';  she could be a nippy mover,


but I'm getting the hang of her... and can well contain her enthusiasm. .   Tomorrow I am in Ainster (again) .... this time for a dental appointment at 09.20.   It has to be in the morning because I'm too tired in the afternoons.  I might go to Crail then hame by the 'back road to Higham Toll, then Largoward, Balcarres and Colinsburgh.

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
