Busy day .......

16th May 2016 (Monday)      08.30 ..... and I have a busy day ahead, work in the morning (after the Paper Shop),  then Leven in the afternoon.     I’ll bike along
Elie harbour
to Elie, visit Jimmy to steer him up, then back to Ivy to get on with the ‘work’ stuff.    It’s a nice morning, but there’s a lot more cloud around... however the sun should burn that off by lunch time.    Must ‘go’ ... slight flap on!
22.30     Once again we have had a lovely day .... I could get to like this ‘bright and sunny’ weather.     That said it didn’t turn ‘bright and sunny until after midday.... but it has been bonnie since, and we have a lovely balmy evening to enjoy.... but it isn’t very warm, now that the sun is low in the North-western sky.
‘The Boy’ has been busy yet again, but mostly ‘administrative’ things;  though I did make a trip to the re-cycling Depot with the latest boot load of weeds etc.   ‘Administrative’ ... that looks quite good;   I must use that word more often.    What
Elie harbour
have I been administrating? .... only a card, and wedding present for Sharon, who gets married in Dunoon next month.     Having done that before lunch, I then went along to Leven to do some shopping, picked up Janet, and we then poodled along to Arncroach to deliver the aforementioned ‘administered’ items.    Janet had been doing ‘administrative things’ too.   Brian and Moira were ‘in residence’ so we had a cuppa, and natter .... it’s good to catch up with ‘family’ news.   
My only ‘exercise today, was the biking along to Elie that I did in the morning. However I did allow myself a wee diversion down to the harbour, followed by a cuppa in Jimmy’s:  and finally home via the Estate, so it would be a decent distance.    On the way through the estate I met Stewart who was busy squirting stuff onto weeds;   presumably something that would give the weeds
The Main entrance road into Elie estate
a ‘sair heid’.
The weather is forecast to be nice and bright in the morning tomorrow, but clouding over with the chance of rain later in the afternoon/evening.   Rain?    I have enjoyed this spell of sunnier weather;  and, I have made good use of it in the garden.   The plan was to uncover the garden table and chairs, but that may be in abeyance for a while now.    They were never used at all last year.

Overcast with light rain .....

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...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
