Beautiful morrrrrrrning ....

7th January 2024 (Sunday)    10.15   My door bell has it's 'ding' ... and 'dong' back.... but


fitting the batteries is not easy;  however, after a short conversation with said batteries, all is good again.   It's bad enough when you lose your 'dong' but losing the 'ding' too is seriously bad.   I rely on the door bell to wake me up if  catnapping.    

I've been for the paper, milk (and batteries;  plus took time out to visit the 'arbour).   I'm now ready for morrrrrning coffee.


20.30    With Ferry Road going to be 'Closed'  tomorrow (to sort out the flooded sub station), I decided to go to Leven to do a shopping while I could get the car parked at the door.   I don't know how long it will take to sort the drainage at the sub station, but I imagine it will be a few days.   Anyway I won't have to carry heavy shopping  bags for the remainder of this week.


I went up to Alice's for a cuppa, before we both went to Leven (Sainsbury's) to do the shopping.... then back to Alice's where Alice had prepared a stew for lunch;  followed by low calorie Profiteroles for sweet. Yummy.  I then bumbled my way back to Ivy and sorted out the messages before my afternoon catnap.   

This has been a lazy day; at least most of the afternoon was.   I've been watching a 'Shaun the Sheep' film but ... oh dear... it must have been made in America because it's way below the original 'Shaun the Sheep' standard.

I see that The Post Masters (and Mistresses) are finally getting justice, and there's an Official Enquiry into how it all happened:  (it will be interesting to see what that comes up with).   If it hadn't been for Mr Bates they (the Post Office) would have got away with it.  

The weather for tomorrow looks like being much the same as today's was;  I think I'll have a 'work' day

The 'Old' and  the 'new'.

around Ivy:  and I should have some activity up at the sub station.   Could be a busy day for me.

Overcast with light rain .....

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
