Feeling excitable ....

21st August 2016 (Sunday) .... 09.00    it’s ‘bright and breezy’ this morning....  a good drying day:   I wonder? .... (5 minutes later) .... I have a washing going through the machine.     Now it’s time to get myself into gear;   I’d go to the kirk
Classic car - Daimler
this morning, but I feel as excitable as a “bag o’ ferrets” so must do something to burn orf energy.    This calls for a ‘plan’.    I’ll have breakfast and put together a ‘plan’ then.... I’m much in need of a cuppa anyway,  having come over all light headed since I took a BP pill.    Must ‘go’ “slight flap on”.
22.00    The “excitable as a bag o’ ferrets” lasted most of the day;   after the light headed/dizziness wore orf.    However, I’m really tired tonight, but, when I think of what I’ve been doing I suppose the auld muscles need to rest sometime. 
After my head cleared ... that takes about an hour and a half ...I biked up to Chapel Green and sorted out the rose, and the posy, on “The Boss’s” seat:  they had blown over with the wind.    Next year I’ll have a better way of holding the champagne (plastic) glass!    Sheena appeared, as if by magic, walking her dog, and, among other things, she reminded me that this was an ‘Afternoon Teas’ up at Kilconquhar kirk
KIlconquhar loch, and kirk
today:   happy news indeed!     As soon as I was  finished at Chapel Green I went down to Ivy, picked up a jacket and biked up to Kilconquhar via Elie Estate.    I have been missing the Coffee Mornings and it showed today:   I was happy, and glad to be back among my ‘girlfriends’... and ‘the boys’.... as ever, I talked too much!   The ‘Drop In cafe’ restarts on Thursday, and the Colinsburgh ‘lite lunch’ is on the 31st.   Yes ... things are getting back to normal.    It was a happy, and contented ‘boy’ that biked home from Kinneuchar ... even though the wind was in my face.
In the evening I biked up to Chapel Green again because it was such a bonnie evening.... and there was an interesting sky.   The ‘Green’ was busy, with folk out
Sunset time - the sun was behind me.
enjoying an evening walk.    I went back to Ivy, put the bike in the shed, and went down to the beach for a short daunder.     This has been a satisfying, and active day;   I’m happy.
Tomorrow I have to go to Leven at some point;   I fancy going on the bus.   The weather forecast is for it to be much the same as today ... but warmer.

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...
