Misty .....

16th July 2024 (Tuesday)     08.15 ....  The Fife Weather cams  are all 'grey' this morning... and

This morning.

there's a Yellow Warning for heavy showers o' rain;  it is not a good 'drying day'!   I have a 'blood test' appointment with Laurie (Nurse) this morning, and that will be followed by a trip to Methil, to have morning coffee with Alice.... and maybe  a small bit of shopping when in Leven.   

At the moment the sky is overcast and  it's misty... but not raining.   Thundery showers usually mean  big interesting clouds so the mist might lift.   Must 'go'.... medium 'Flap On' this morning!... my appointment is at 09.05.

19.00    I' am not a 'happy boy';  I could have washed the downie cover this morning, and it would have dried, because the rain didn't arrive until later in the afternoon.   Apart from that I've had a good day.  My appointment was over and done by 09.15.... and I remembered to ask Laurie (Nurse) the couple of questions I had written on my 'list'.   And they were favourably answered.

17th green - in the afternoon.
The trip to Leven and Methil went perfectly,   I started by going th Alice's for morning tea, then did a small shopping on the way home.    Back at 'Ivy' I sorted the shopping, then chatted to my next door neighbour (Balvonie) when putting the empty shopping bags in the car boot.  After all that I had a cuppa, then went for a walk up to the golf course, where I met and chatted to Julie, my next door neighbour (Ferry Lodge).   Ferry Lodge is nearing completion.   I'm just thinkin';  Michael and Janice are coming up from 'Sunny Sussex' on the 29th,  and will expect my garden to be 'reinstated'.  It's not quite finished.... oops.


21.30    Tomorrow is supposed to be a brighter (and drier) day than today:  in other words a good drying day so the downie will be on the line sometime tomorrow.   We (the 'Team) are going to the 19th for lunch tomorrow so I don't need to bother about organizing lunch.

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

Nice morning ....

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
