Quiet morrrrrning ..... ....

29th January 2024 (Monday)    09.00 .... The sky is mostly overcast and there's only a light


breeze (F2 on Largo Bay), so it's a quiet start to the day.   I see that the 'West End' work vans arrived on site by 08.00 (Glenfuir) so they must have allowed for a longer travelling time;  or they might have done the 'local access' thing.  It will take a day or so to get the big machines on site.  I'm feeling bright and breezy this morning;  not extremely 'bright and breezy'.... but definitely in a more playful mood.   The 'plan' is to work on the computer until morning coffee time, then see how the mood takes me after that.... and how the weather is then.    There's a chance of light precipitation around midday.

16.15   The light precipitation arrive in the afternoon (I was asleep at the time) and we now have a damp evening.   The 'bright and breezy' feeling I had this morning only lasted until the early afternoon, when I began to watch a programme about Pan Am conquering the Pacific by flying boat in 1935, and fell asleep.... as I usually do.  As planned I spent the morning on the computer, so the day hasn't been totally wasted.   

The workmen have been busy on the Ferry High Street part of the cable work.   As far as I can see all that Ferry Road bit needs are the new Double Yellows to add a bit of brightness.... especially on a dull day.  Sort of like two, long skinny, rows of dandelions.  


20.30    I've just been out at the bucket and it's still raining;  a miserable evening actually.   In the meanwhile I am inside, cosy and warm watching 'Vera'.... and typing this update during the adverts.  This has been another 'rest' day for me (I think I've had a 'bug' or the last couple of days) because I am beginning to feel more like myself again.   The rain is forecast to clear away by morning and we're to have a sunny day with a moderate breeze.    I should get out and about somewhere 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
