Lovely morrrrrrrrrrrrning.....

26th February 2024 (Monday)    08.30....There's a light frost on the car windscreen, but

Innerleven Gospel Hall.

thatshould rapidly melt with the sun;  so it's a bonnie start to the working week.  It's funny how it always happens at this time..... I'm thinking of having a Spring cleaning sort of day.    I suppose this annual urge goes back many millennia to when the 'cave' had to have a good clear out after a hard winter.    Not that I intend actually doing very much, but I'll begin by cleaning the inside of the windows.   A touch of de- man caving wouldn't go amiss! .... I could de mancave and transfer DVD's at the same time.   I'll have another cuppa before rushing into action.   

11.00    The DVD transferring is moving along .... but the de - man caving is still at the contemplating stage.  I've been doing the kirks that we (Jim and me) recorded and they are proving to be an interesting distraction.   It's morrrrrrrrrrning coffee time.... a good time to be 'distracted'.   I'll upload a couple of photos later to let you see why it's easy to be distracted.    It's a beautiful day but cool; however, I might take a turn round The Ferry on the bike after coffee and bicci.   Must try to remember the  'ousework thing!

Sunset from the 10th fairway.

20.00    I never got round to the windows because I decided to dust, and polish, the mantelpiece and fireplace;  not a big job but fairly tricky with all the things on the mantel piece.   I might get round to the window tomorrow.    

After such a hard working day, I took 'time off' to bike up to Chapel Green about an hour before sunset, for exercise.   It was quiet at that time, but I did notice a few folk were walking on the beach.  I didn't hang around as it was cold, even though there was only a light breeze.  

22.15   I'm happy with today's 'work' and will continue with the Spring cleaning.  Tomorrow is forecast to be damp.... "light rain with a fresh breeze';  so a good day to be pottering around inside Ivy.

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
