Wet....

2nd April 2024 (Tuesday)    21.00    I tried to upload a video onto 'The Hutte' and lost everything

I'd already written;  this is a short update, to let you know that all is well again at Ivy.   I eventually got out in the car and went to Methil to visit Alice.... and enjoyed lunch with Alice and her nephew Lucas.   
We took time out from catching up with all the Methil and Buckhaven news (Lucas lives in Buckhaven) to pick up our watches that had been 'in' getting new batteries fitted.
The car is now 'moored up' in the disabled parking bay a the 'Toon Hall';  not the best place in wet weather but I shouldn't get blocked in there.  
 Everything appears to be working as it should again... but I won't upload the video until tomorrow.... when I find out  where I went wrong'.   The video is of the journey by car, from Lundin Links to Elie Harbour.   At the harbour Jimmy's car (as it was then) is moored up at the Sailing Club.... where we would be having morning coffee.   

This has been a stressful weekend for me and it will take a few more days for me to unwind and relax completely;   however 'all's well that ends well'.... and it has ended well!   I'm a 'happy boy'.
I've just noticed an 'Insert Video' button among the buttons above so I'll have another go at uploading the video tomorrow.   The link was sent to me by Les, a friend in Australia!   It's a brilliant video... as you 'might' see when I have another go at uploading it 'ra morra'.   I'm too tired to do it tonight.  Orf to make the Horlicks!

Overcast with light rain .....

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
