Peaceful kind of morning ....

 4th January 2024 (Thursday)     08.45.... We have a quiet start to the fourth day of 2024, but


there's a lot of clouds and they bring the chance of light rain with them: however it looks like being a nice enough day, with an interesting sky.  The sun has yet to break through to give us sunny spells.   Time to put the kettle on. 

19.00    The air was warm first thing this morning but the temperature was dropping by mid morning;  and I was feeling the cold when Alice and I went down to Leven  to get a few photographs of the bonnie sky from the prom.   Leven beach was busy with dog walkers mostly... well wrapped up dog walkers.    I must put a warm jacket in the car so that it's there when required.   We didn't stay very long at the prom because this silly boy didn't have a winter jacket.   We went back to HQ where we enjoyed a lunch .... and did more 'sorting out of the world'.   Alice had a busy afternoon ahead;  Lucas, her nephew, was coming to put the Christmas decorations up into the attic.   

Back home at Ivy I made myself a cuppa then promptly fell asleep, for an hour and a bit in front of the tele.  I made a fresh cuppa then sorted out the photos I'd taken at Leven Prom.   There was a bonnie light about' and I am happy with the results.


At 21.00 this evening we have 'Mr Bates v The Post Office' ... that lasts for an hour, then there's break for the News and stuff before we get another programme about Mr Bates v The Post Office' beginning at 23.10- and ending at 05.00.10.   It's going to be a late night for 'the boy'.  I have nothing 'planned' for tomorrow so will manage a few daytime catnaps.







22.45   'Mr Bates v The Post Office' is the most emotive programme I have ever watched;  it must surely win Awards for the Production Team and for some of the actors who played the parts.   It showed the 'jiggery pokery' that goes on at the highest level;  in fact it's very worrying when you see the lengths
'Viking Neptun'.

that the 'high heid yins' will go to!  I'm having my bedtime 'Chocolat' before watching 'The Real Story' at 23.10.

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
