Peaceful morning ....

20th May 2025 (Tuesday)     08.30 .... At the moment we have a layer of low cloud;  but the sun

will burn the cloud off, to give us a warm sunny day.   The breeze is from the SW just now but will back to the SE in the afternoon.    I need to buy a bathroom mirror when I'm in Leven today.   The mirror I have in the bathroom is hidden by a 'Blue Fern':  and the 'Blue Fern' likes where it is!   I'll take photographs after the new mirror is 'on site'.

17.00   It has been a lovely sunny day... and warm it's warm....19.9C in the shade.   

After a cuppa at Alice's we went to B & M's to get a mirror for the bathroom... and eventually found one.  It's one big shop is B & M's.  On the way home we went to the Wellesley Kirk Community Centre for lunch.    The Wellesley Community Centre is popular, as is the Charity shop in the Hall next door, which we had a browse round before going to the Community Centre, (didn't buy anything).   We went back to Alice's HQ for coffee before I bumbled my way back home.

As soon as I got home, I made a cuppa then fell fast asleep in front of the tele.  I had a migraine in the middle of the night so slept for over an hour; and woke up in 'working' mode, so marked where the hook for the bathroom mirror is going.  I am now controlling how much work I do in one day:  the hook will be hammered in and the mirror hung tomorrow.   Don't want to overdo the 'work' thing.

20.00    Today is ending with a wall to wall blue sky; and tomorrow is going to be another lovely sunny day.   Slightly breezier so perhaps not as warm as it was today.    Tomorrow is going to be a 'rest day' for me;  apart from hanging the mirror.   I might go biking early in the morning.   This has been an enjoyable but tiring day after losing sleep last night. 

I'm amazed at how fast the rhododendron is growing:  As you can see, the flowers are almost past.   New shoots suddenly made an appearance, and lengthen noticeably every day.   I'll transplant it into a bigger tub;  actually I'm not absolutely sure when I should do that.   I'll 'Google' it.   

Having been on Google: late summer or early fall is the answer.   (Fall?   I must have been on an American site).

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 f...

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 l...

4th January 2024 (Saturday)    09.15 .... The car windscreens is clear, the washing I left out Shona huggin' a huge Kilbrackmont tree! overnight is flapping about in the breeze, and my breathing easier.   The sky is mostly cloudy just now, but our weather forecast for today is "sunny intervals with a gentle breeze".    There's a Yellow Warning for snow active from midnight tonight through to midday on Monday;  though I imagine it will more likely be sleet, or rain,  for us.   'Sunny Sussex' and most of the South of England is covered by an Amber Warning for snow today, so most of the UK is likely to see snow at some point over the next few days. 20.00    Although not the best of drying days the washing was nearly dry by the end of the afternoon.   Earlier in the afternoon I'd gone to Methil to annoy Alice.  We had a cuppa before going shopping.  We went to Sainsbury's they have 'everything' and are trying ...
