Raining but nice calm morning ....

22nd July 2024 (Monday)    09.00 .... It's a lovely peaceful, morning in spite of the fact that it's

Largo Law from Leven beach.

actually raining!    there are 'bloo' bits in the sky so we could have a bonnie, sunny spells day to come.  I have only been as far as the gate but might go out in the car later;  at the moment I'm contemplating breakfast, having slept in after a restless might because it was so hot.

11.45   The light rain has moved away and we now have a bonnie, slightly humid day to 'play' with.   I took the car up to Elie to hand in my prescription  (I didn't go for a paper 'cos I haven't yet read the Sunday Post).   From Elie I went to 'The Store' (Ainster) then home by way of the 'back roads'.   I am now seriously thinking of getting the bike out and having a short run to Chapel Green.   I have the correct kind of bike seat so there should be no problem with the catheter.  There is the chance of light showers in the afternoon but at the moment we have a lovely, warm (albeit humid) day.

19.30    I eventually decided that going out on the bike might not be the best idea, because I've had an eventful day with the catheter.   All is good after phoning the Skeith Centre, but it was slight 'Flap On' until then.   I had a long siesta in the afternoon... and might go up to the golf course after I have another cuppa.  It's a lovely evening;  and I need a couple of photos for 'The Hutte'.


20.30   Well that was a  quick change in the weather.  I sat down to watch 'Last of the Summer Wine' and when I next looked outside the sky had clouded over.   So, no walk up to the golf course.   I had a restless night because it was so warm, and therefore tired tonight.   Another early night in bed with the book... and hope that it's cooler.

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
