Lovely morrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrning ....

7th July 2024 (Sunday)     09.00 .... It's a lovely morning;   there's a lot of light cloud around but it's

of the white fluffy kind..... and we have long sunny spells.   I'm likin' it!   I've been for the paper, in the car 'cos I was short of milk for the Cornflakes....and didn't go to the 'arbour because I hadn't had the aforementioned Cornflakes.   It's a lovely morning and I might get the bike out later:  it's still not as warm as it ought to be in July, but it's sunny and should warm up.   Light showers are forecast for the afternoon.

10.00   Welll I've had breakfast, hung out a washing.... now I'm thinking of 'morrrrrrrrrrning coffee'.   I'm feeling tired, but that will be because I made up a bed yesterday;  today will be a 'relax and unwind' day.  Morning coffee it is.

19.30   We've had a busy and interesting sky today.... even though the huge thundery clouds did give us a few short showers of heavy rain.    I didn't  go out because I have been 'resting';  resting included watching what I think is the most exciting Stage of the Tur de France I have ever seen.   It was a holly stage with sections of  gravel road  to give them a different surface to travel over.    I  can understand them wanting to give the cyclists a different challenge.... but the dust they ended up biking through was going right into their lungs.   That couldn't be good for them.   However the different surfaces made the Stage 'different'.... and  exciting to watch.   I'm still tired.

The showers appear to have died away, because we have a lovely evening now.   I might have a short walk in a wee after another cuppa.   I've had a lazy day, and could be doing with some exercise; actually, l for some unknown reason, my asthma has been bad.   I'll have a sortie outside after this update to see what  reaction I get. 

Tomorrow is going to be 'sunny with a gentle breeze' so I am going to wash a downie cover and get it out first thing.   I'll then have trip to Leven to do some shopping, and have morning coffee with Alice.   Jackie (My daughter in law) is coming to stay for a few nights;  hence the 'slight Flap on' over the past few days!

Pittenweem swimming pool....

20th September 2017 (Wednesday) ... 13.30    When I went along to Elie for the papers this morning, I got slightly diverted and ended up along at the old Pittenweem tidal swimming pool.  Pittenweem  swimming pool.    Unfortunately we have a, mostly overcast, with occasional spits and spots of rain, morning.     I must go back on a ‘bright and  sunny’ morning... this will show up the different colours of the sandstone rocks etc better.    It is an interesting spot, and would have been busy in the 1930’s , 40’s and 50’s.        20.30     My day has been spent pottering around Ivy... including baking a batch of wholemeal scones.    Note to self .... I must remember to freeze some of them this time;  rather than feed them to Blob and his pals.     It has been a grey and sometimes damp day;  not a day for bumbling about outside.    The ‘cold’ that I had last night didn’t come to anything.... I must have been tired after Solid infrastructure at Pittenweem swimming pool. my wand

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
