'M's birthday .....

22nd June 2016 (Wednesday)  ... 08.30    “Happy Birthday to ‘M’.... happy birthday to youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!     ‘M’ will be 2,430,000,000 seconds old sometime today!”    Now that is really auld!
We have a bonnie morning for pottering about, doing birthday things.    There are
Elie harbour
clouds around, which may grow into interesting shower clouds in the afternoon;   we won’t get the showers!   I hope.

I’d better get a move on ... I’m picking Margaret (birthday title) up from St Minnins in a wee while;   need to do the ‘ooverin’ and dustin’ thing.
23.59    This has been a busy busy day;   and the bike has still got a puncture.     ‘M’, Lexie and I went up, to Colinsburgh for the ‘lite lunch’;  which was considerably more than ‘lite’....soup and rhubarb crumble for me, ... soup, followed by  strawberries and ice cream for ‘M’.   After we got back to Ivy I had an attack of ‘the mauchless’... it was so hot!    ‘M’ was
Margaret
covered in goose pimples because she thought it was cold!
Having recovered from ‘the mauchless’,  I was rarin’ to get down to the beach to get a photo, or two ... or more.    We sat on a seat and just enjoyed the ambiance before pottering down to the actual beach;  unfortunately the tide was in so there wisnae much in the way of a beach, but it was enjoyable nonetheless;   and it was busy.     Photos were taken, I had a relapse and ended up with ‘the mauchless’ for the second time today so we went back to Ivy for a cuppa.   
I didn’t have to concoct any food, because, as  today is ‘M’s birthday, we were going
M on the Ferry beach
along to the Upper Largo for dinner, with Joyce and Dave;   Joyce and ‘M’ have been friends since schooldays, which wisnae “iggzactly” yesterday.... oops, naughty boy. 

    We had a great time, plenty laughter, and loads of  good food.... including low calorie ‘sweet’ to finish.    We went back to Joyce and Dave’s for coffee.... well, I had coffee!!!!
This has been a long day and this tired bunny will be glad to get into bed with his 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 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

Cold and overcast ....

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
