Cold wind ....

11th June 2024 (Tuesday)     08.00 .... We have a bonnie morning, but there's a cold North


Westerly wind (F3) and it feels more like winter, than ten days short of the Summer Solstice.    It will be warm in the sun when sheltered from the wind;  but not a morning for the beach.  It is a good morning for having my COVID booster;  the air should be slightly warmer in the afternoon, when John and I will be working outside.

11.30   That's COVID booster done for another 6 months;  and I think that's the quickest I have ever been.  The Waiting Room was empty apart from us two ('JB' and me) and three Nurses,.... one Nurse at the desk booking you in, and the other two Nurses at separate 'jabbing room' doors.   Actually that was the hardest bit of all;  choosing which Nurse to do the jabbing.   After a bit of mental 'eenie meenie minee mo' I went to the ...er ... unlucky Nurse, got the jab (didn't feel it), and was on the way out by my official appointment time.  On the way home we stopped at Sainsbury's to get a few bits and bobs;  and back at the 'Royal Burrow'  about 10.30.   We didn't visit Alice because she is a busy girl.... and we wanted to take advantage of the dry weather to do some painting.


23.00   Late bed time for me after a busy day.   JB and I make a good painting team;  JB does the work and I have the aches and pains.   Tomorrow we hope to emulsion the front of Ivy;  the weather forecast is good.... but it will be cool.   The 'plan' is to make an early start to take advantage of the morning sun.

I had a slight headache in the afternoon, and slept most of the evening, both most likely caused by the COVID booster.   I'm tired now and will have a mug o' 'orlicks before going to bed.    JB went for a walk on the beach with the camera and gets the credit for today's photographs!

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
