Lovely morning ....

16th June 2025 (Monday)    08.30 .... We have 'bright and sunny' morning .... a good day

for'working'.  I'm feeling playful,  but I have a wee bit of weeding to do first.  The weather forecast is 'good' for the most of this week;  and hot by next weekend.    I need a cuppa.

19.20    I've had a busy day;  the garden work is finished, ordered a heavy duty kerb ramp and (metre wide) that will save me doing a 90 degree turn onto the pavement.   The 90 turn onto the pavement can be done, but I haven't mastered the speed control trigger thing for really slow , manoeuvring speeds.   The trigger has to be 'fluttered' and my hands don't do 'fluttering' very well.   I'm going to keep practising.

21.30    I had a wander down to Ferry Corner;  actually I had two walks to Ferry Corner .... the camera didn't have a card in it the first time.   I'm feeling mair 'normal' and wanted a few photographs for the 'blog';  I was never really 'in the mood' after I went down with the 'bug.   Obviously I'm getting better.

I got an email from the Company delivering the kerb ramp;  it's supposed to be delivered tomorrow.  Where's it coming from?..... London!   Luckily tomorrow was going to be a day of rest day anyway:  a well deserved one, after a few pottering about days.    I couldn't call it 'work'.   In fact I'm going to make the 'orlicks and have an early night in bed with my book.

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 ...
