Lovely morning .....

30th May 2024 (Thursday)     08.30 .... we have a beautiful morning;  and it's going be a bonnie


day;  in fact we are in for a few days of summer like weather.   The heavy rain we had  has been mopped up by a warm sun and a light breeze;  a good drying day!   I'm going to do a washing before going to Leven to do a shopping.   If the weather turns out as forecast, this is going to be a 'play weekend':  the villages will be busy.

21.00    It has been sunny and warm...a really bonnie summerlike day;  and the weekend is forecast to be even better!    When I went to Leven the roads were very busy so I imagine that they will be even busier if the weather is as forecast.  Although I had thought about doing a shopping I didn't;  the 'Disabled' parking places at Lidl's were all occupied, and I can't get the car door opened wide enough to get out in the normal spaces.   However the second part of today's plan went perfectly:  I had morning coffee with Alice and we went out for lunch.   We'd planned to go to 'Agenda' but the car park was full and the parking n the street too far for me to 'walk'.   Our normal place for 'eating out' is the local kirk but the

cook is unwell;  hence 'Agenda'.  Eventually we went to a Café about 200 metres from Alice's HQ and had a beef burger with all the trimmings.... and a mug o' tea.   Very enjoyable;  the diet starts again tomorrow.  We went back to Alice's and had a cup o' coffee: Alice's friends, Ruby and George arrived, and, after introductions we chatted before they set off to visit Marilyn, a neighbour of Alice's a  friend of Ruby and George's.   Busy old day.

Back at Ivy (about 14.30) I had a quick cuppa before settling down for a short nap;  which lasted just over an hour.    Longer than normal: I have been really tired for the past few days.   This weekend is going to be a 'rest weekend'.

It was such a bonnie evening that I got the bike out and went up to Chapel Green;  I wish I'd taken a mug o' coffee with me it was one of those quiet relaxing evenings.   Tomorrow I intend to going out

early for the paper, and empty the bike battery, so that I can have a fully charged battery for Saturday.

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
