Peaceful kind of morning ....

11th January 2024 (Thursday)    08.00.... Oops .... I sneezed....  it cleared the tubes a bit. 


 Although there's a lot of cloud about just now KY9's weather forecast for today is good;  we should have sunny spells by midday.   The mere thought o' sunny spells makes me happy.   I'm feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning... well... I was until I went out to give 'Blob' his breakfast and discovered that light drizzle was still with us.   That should clear away soon.

10.30   The sunny spells are here so, after a busy morning fixing a window blind in the kitchen, I'll have morrrrrrrrning coffee then I'll go for a turn in the car;  at least as far as Colinsburgh to feed her.  It's a hive of activity all around Ivy Cottage with workmen busy on Ferry Road.... and next door.   I feel guilty sitting down!

11.00    Blimey... that batch o' 'sunny spells' were short lived;  by the time I'd finished on the computer the sky had clouded over.  Hopefully there's more on the way but the sky doesn't look promising just now.  Oh well .... kettle 'on' and have another cuppa before going to Colinsburgh. 


17.00   I ended up watching the Post Office Enquiry in the afternoon so never went to Colinsburgh:  the weather forecast is better for tomorrow.... after a misty start we should get longer sunny spells, so the plan is to go to Colinsburgh tomorrow.   They, the sunny spells' won't have to be very 'long' to be longer than todays sunny spells were!   The weather hasn't been of the 'get up and go' kind today.    That said, I had a successful research mission on the computer so I'm happy.

22.00    There's better air tonight (I was putting the bucket out).... slightly less damp:  however it's supposed to be misty tomorrow morning then brighter by lunchtime.   And, I hope to get out and about tomorrow.

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
