Peaceful morning ....

7th May 2024 (Tuesday)     08.15 .... The sky is overcast and there's a chilly breeze 'aff the watter';


but it's a peaceful kind of morning.... and isn't raining!   Hopefully the sun will break through and warm up the air.   I'll be ready to activate today's 'plan' ..... after I have another cuppa.   That reminds me.... I have to take my BP. 

20.30   I sailed through the annual check up;  Laurie did it the last time I had a blood test;  in fact she does all that every time I have a Blood test.   Because the wind was a bit chilly I didn't go out to Woodhaven to take any photos.... choosing to go back to Ivy and have another cuppa before I went along to Methil.  There's a new set of temporary traffic lights in Leven:  they, the lights, were operating perfectly.... but no sign of any human activity.   The Bawbee Brig continues to be the major hold up: but, people in the know' use the Iron Brig', so it's busier!  I arrived at Alice's, well ready for a cuppa.... which we had; along with a very tasty, calorie free Chocolate Éclair.   The diet starts (again) tomorrow.   Having had that energy boost we then louped intae the car, went to Leven, and did my shopping... at the Cheap Shop' and Sainsbury's.   We were back

at Alice's by lunch time, which the lovely Alice had all organised.... including another calorie free sweet.   Izzy, who had been browsing the local kirk Charity Shop, arrived to say she had made a brilliant purchase.... but it could only happen if 'Mother' could loan her a fiver as she (Izzy) had left her purse at home!   Transaction completed, Izzy then joined us for lunch.  Izzy and Alice are going away for a few days break, to "somewhere in the wilds" near Berwick on Tweed.  We had a quick cup o' coffee before going our separate ways, Izzy to Windygates, Alice to get her hair done... and me to                                                                                                         'The Royal Burgh'.   I unloaded the and put away the messages, made a cuppa, sat down in from of the tele.... and fell sound asleep for an hour and a half!   

22.30    I've had a busy and enjoyable day in spite of the cold Easterly wind.   Because of that wind I didn't go out with the camera;  however the wind should be from the WSW tomorrow morning;  I might have an early run round the villages, charge the bike battery then have a longer run in the

afternoon.   The weather forecast is good for the next few days;  with the weekend being sunny and warm.   Of course it could all change;  this is Bonnie Scotland after all!

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
