Happy boy .....

23rd August 2016 ( Janice’s Birthday) ...   “Happy Birthday Janice” have a great, ‘21 and a bit’,  birthday! xx

13.30    “Laurie” (Nurse) is happy with my BP;   my weight, 10st 11lbs, was a pleasant surprise;   I thought I was over 11 stone, so I am very happy.    However I had to make an appointment to see my Doctor re my pills;   that happens on Monday.
This morning

First thing this morning I got ‘up’ to catch the sunrise, which was bright yellow/orange, but it was spitting rain so.    I didn’t get down to the beach, until after the event,....  but managed only a short walk before it began to spit rain again.    I gave up and went back to Ivy for breakfast, and to get ready for my appointment.


After my ‘BP’ appointment, I went straight to Leven where I needed to do some  ‘banking’ stuff, then went to Sainsbury’s for coffee, and a wee shopping.    I got back to Ivy about half a minute before Jimmy;  and we had our cuppa after I put the messages away.
22.00     This, for me, has been a ‘lazy’ day;   the few times I went to get the bike out it was spitting rain.    I gave up, and went to the Hutte to do a Soduko... and fell asleep.   When I ‘surfaced’ I did a bit of ‘ooverin’ and dustin’, then decided it was time to make the ‘mince and tauties’ that I have been thinking about for nigh on a week.    The mince was the best I have ever made ... I added some of Michael’s Top Secret ingredient this
Earlsferry from the 2nd green.
time...  sort of celebrating Janice’s birthday with ‘mince, tauties’ and Worcester sauce oops ... secret ingredient!    I shall have a ‘Janice’ night cap (toddie) at bed time.

I must make up for the lethargic day I’ve had today;   luckily tomorrow is forecast to be ‘bright, sunny and warm’ .... but not as warm as it’s going to be in the South East corner of England ...  the low 30’s centigrade.    Jings I get the ‘mauchless’ just thinking of that.    Tomorrow morning I shall get up to see the sunrise .... and feel a touch of the, Elie and Earlsferry, lovely and  fresh, non-mauchless, air ... the “frisky as a Spring Lamb” feeling is coming on me already.  
 
While it wasn’t the bonniest evening for a daunder I went out with the Canon to practice late evening shots.     I enjoyed pottering around the ‘Pony Field’ area taking
Jimmy and Chrissie (Mackie)
‘late’ shots of  .... the ‘Royal Burgh’ mostly!

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

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
