Nice morning .....

9th August 2024 (Wednesday)    10.00 .... It's a lovely morning, with fresh breeze, so loads o' fresh air;  a good day for those doing the Coastal Path,    Having said that, light rain is mentioned in the forecast for KY9.   After the busy day I had yesterday, this is definitely a 'rest day':  I might take a turn out in the car later, but, my word, I was physically shattered yesterday.   I've had breakfast..... a cuppa is what I need now, before I do some 'ooverin'.... maybe!   

20.30    It has been a really nice day;  sunny with a cooling breeze.   Light rain was forecast bit it never arrived.    Michael and Janice went up to the top of Kincraig then out the Shell Bay Caravan Park, where they had lunch in the Café (I forget the name of it);  I mooched around Ivy, resting after the  busy day yesterday.   It was a long and tiring day and I was glad to crawl into my bed.    Today has been spent doing any necessary 'ousework, watching the Olympics and sleeping.   I should be feel well rested tomorrow.

Michael and Janice are going to Livingstone Designer Outlet (Almondvale) first thing tomorrow morning; and back home by lunchtime.   Unfortunately I have not been much company for them this visit, but I have enjoyed them being here.... but not being able to be as active as I'd like to be, been frustrating at times.  Janice and Michael travel back home to 'sunny and warm Sussex' on Friday.

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
