Nice morrrrrrrning .....

16th November 2023 (Thursday)    08.00.... it's a nice quiet kind o' mornin' after a fair amount


of rain overnight... but it's fair just now and the sky has the promise of some sunny spells to come.    I have my haircut appointment with Lorraine, after which I'll nip along to Methil to visit Alice .... and do some shopping when I'm there.   It's a bonnie morning for doing things outside..... for a change!

16.30   It has been a lovely though slightly cool on the lugs day;  but that could be because I've had my haircut.   The stone masons have done another brilliant day's work.   If the weather is good tomorrow the stone cladding could be near enough finished.  As for me I haven't done any drawing today;  but I enjoyed my trip to Methil to see Alice;  where I had not only 'morrrrning tea' but also tasty 'Chicken Cobbler' for  lunch!   I won't need much for dinner tonight.

I didn't do any shopping on the way home because I 've decided to do that on Saturday.   I've been keeping an eye on the News and I really can't believe what is happening in the Middle East.  Of course I know about the evil of October 7th being the cause of this War;  but there's been  trouble out there since long before the 7th October 2023.  It's going to take some brave Middle East Diplomats and Politicians to come up with an answer to the root cause of Middle East problems.


19.30    I've had a restful, and enjoyable day....now I'm well ready for an early bedtime chocolate and an evening watching something on the TV.  The forecast for tomorrow is 'misty with light winds' so could have interesting photographs.   I haven't a 'plan' for tomorrow, but I'm sure I'll find something to do.   I'm really enjoying my drawing just now.... and I have another one in mind.... so I'll do some of 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
