Nice morrrrrrning ....

3rd November 2024 (Sunday)    09.15 .... I have the urge to skip and frolic this morning;  but I'll

fecht we' the downie cover and downie instead.   By the time I've finished with them I'll be ready for morrrrning coffee.   Morning?.... we have a lovely one, but there's more cloud since I first looked out. That said, it looks very 'sunny spellish'!   I'm going to have another cuppa ....then go for the paper.

10.45    I've been for the paper, and had another cuppa.... I'm now ready to have a look at the downie, and cover of.

It's a quiet morning, with only a light Westerly breeze, but the sunny spells have been rare.   As you can see from the photo Cath (paper shop)has been a busy girl or Halloween.  Actually, Cath decorates the Toll Green Post Box for the different celebrations throughout the year.  A lot of work.... and it's appreciated by locals and visitors!

I've decided to have morrrrrrning coffee ... before having a look at the downie etc!


18.00    I am not overly fond of fwchtin' wi' that big downie, but, on this occasion it went into the cover, not quite easily, but definitely the easiest so far.   I didn't have to converse with it at all!    'JB' has a bed to fall into!    I find it frustratin' not being able to do things as I could do them  a couple of years ago.  However I am pacing myself better.... so shouldn't feel as kn... tired as I normally do after making up a bed.   I actually watched 'Dunkirk' (with John Mills as the Corporal) in the afternoon.

22.30    We are going to have another day of quiet weather tomorrow;  mostly cloudy with a gentle breeze.   I'll 'oover and dust the big bedroom..... clean the window, and polish the woodwork.   Yes that will be a canny day for me tomorrow.   

I'm looking forward to the end of this week.   The troops will be visiting, I go for my COVID booster.... and on Monday (11th) I hope to get rid of the catheter!  If successful I'll be out on the bike the first day that the weather is amenable.   A busy and exciting weekend!

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
