Quiet morning ....

23rd February 2024 (Friday)     08.15.... It's a nice, peaceful kind of morning, with a lot of


interesting clouds drifting over on a light breeze just now.   The wind will freshen and we should have a good drying day.... so I have a washing in the machine.  I'm having a 'rest and play day';  the 'play bit includes going out on the bike.... once the sunny spells arrive. It's not as cold as I expected it to be after seeing the gritter last night; tonight will most likely be frosty.

15.30    I worked on the computer until morrrrrrrrrning coffee time (11.00), after 'morning coffee' I went up to the roadworks at Broomlees to see how the job was progressing.   The section between the Ferry Road end and the Kinneuchar junction looks finished and we should have free use of it until the final section from Kinneuchar Station to Balchrystie is finished and re-opened.   I was going to bike down the Elie road but the bike battery was low so I took the shortest way home.   The battery has been charged and I plan to bike the Elie road tomorrow..... if it isn't frosty.


18.30    The film 'Yangtze Incident'  is the first film I have watched, from start to finish without falling asleep, for a long time.   I've seen it before and put the tele with the intention of being bored to sleep.   I got engrossed in the story and didn't even fall asleep when the adverts came on.   So my afternoon was spent watching the film and transferring DVD's.   It turned into an interesting afternoon..... but,  I'm tired now!


22.30    It has been  a funny old day for me;  I have enjoyed myself but this changeable weather is 'migraine weather'  and cramps my activities a bit.    It was a good drying day so the washing dried .... and means an ironing job tomorrow.   I've had my bedtime 'orlicks;  it's now time for a bit of reading.   The book I'm reading is about the Romans and Druids etc.... and bloodthirsty.   2000 years later..... and it's still the same  Homo Sapiens seems to be driven by the need to kill each other; and we have made progress with more sophisticated ways of doing that.  It's sad really.

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
