Friendship Lunch ....

8th June 2016 (Wednesday) ..... 18.00     Oh my word .... this is the first of my getting the Hutte update done today;   I’m really  sorry about that!    I have been
West end of the Ferry beach
‘busy’ most of the day..... out biking twice, both on ‘missions’ re the Friendship Lunch.    Of course both times I went on slight detours, which ate up the time..... and I have done the odd bit of ‘ooverin’ and dustin’ around Ivy, though not much!    Actually I’m not too bad at keeping the old place tidy, but, I do have a tendency to get diverted.
The “Friendship Lunch” was even more excellent than usual,.... this was the last “Lunch” before the Summer break:  I’m sure that the girls were feeding us ‘up’ so that we can last through until the next Lunch, which is on the 14th September.   “Puku” was a satisfied puku when we left the hall to bike home .... via the Estate.
I didn’t do my Power Point Presentation, but will do it on the 14th September, when the Friendship Lunches  resume for the next ‘season’.    I took my laptop along, just in case we wanted it set up on a table for ‘browsing’ purposes, but my laptop is small and
Elie Bay tonight
the pictures were only large post card size, so that wasn’t  practical.     I am hoping that Graham will be available  for the 14th September;    I'd like to have a connecting cable for my laptop by that date.

Jimmy came along in the afternoon, needing to go to Leven for a haircut, so that took up a good bit of the late afternoon.    Jimmy (Jems) had longish time to  wait for his turn;   a lady had been having the full treatment, and it took some time to finish her orf.    However he has had his hair cut and is happy again.
23.00    It’s very cold tonight;    I went out for a quick run up to Chapel Green (on the bike), and it was ‘freezin’.... not literally, but there’s a rawness to the air, and the East wind is making it feel colder.     I imagine that ‘M’ will be delighted by this invigorating Scottish air;   nae chance of getting ‘Otaki style mauchless’ in St Minnins.
Chapel remains Earlsferry
It looks like tomorrow’s weather is going to be much the same as today’s was, overcast early, then brightening later.... but feeling colder.     I don’t have a ‘plan’ devised for tomorrow, but I’m sure that I’ll find something to do

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...
