Lovely morrrrrrrrrrrning ....

2nd May 2024 (Thursday)    08.15 .... It's bright and breezy in Elie and Earlsferry this morning....

Leven.

however the wind is from the East and taking a few degrees off the temperature so not very warm on the beach!    Sheltered from the wind it will be really warm.... this has me thinking of painting the shed; it is sheltered from the wind, the patio being a real sun trap.   Anyway we have a bonnie morning ....  a day for doing things.

15.15   I had to go to Elie to hand in my prescription, so I decided to visit Alice when I was out in the car;  and I'd go to Boots to buy a BP monitor.   I eventually arrived at Alice's HQ, after negotiating two set of temporary traffic lights;  the first set at the former Lundin Links Hotel and the second at the ongoing works at the Bawbee Brig.  After admiring Alice's handiwork on the garden bench;  which is now Holly Green, instead of the Sea Green that it had been.   I'll take a photo of the finished bench next week.  I didn't have to buy a monitor as Alice had one that she doesn't use.   I have my annual BP check next Tuesday so have to take a few days readings at home: where I won't, or shouldn't have, 'white coat syndrome'.    I'm going to take a reading after this update.

I worked in that house (Whyterose Terrace Methil)!

20.00    It has been a bonnie day.... sadly it was spoiled by the fresh wind off the sea.   It was warm in Alice's garden, but the wind was swirling around, and it was cold even in the new patio area.... it was juts too windy!  The washing dried on what has been a perfect drying day!   I was planning to take a walk to the beach this evening but that has been put 'on hold' until the temperatures are where they should be;  and that isn't going to be for a wee while yet.  The wind is going to be lighter tomorrow, so it should be  warmer.  I'm planning to get the front of the shed done if that is the case.

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
