Shingles 'jab' ......

5th September 2016 (Monday) .... 08.30     and .... we have another lovely morning, but there is a light southeast wind and it feels cool.    However, as a
Dog going in for a paddle
lassie I met on the beach said ....”Cool? .... no  this is warm Scottish summer morning!”   Now that’s, Scottish positive thinking!    Her dog went in for a paddle... and that made me feel cold!     It is actually a nice morning though there is a touch of autumn in the air.    Must go ... I have  a ‘slight flap on’ .... I haven’t had breakfast.

21.30     I’ve had another busy day:   mostly ‘playing’ .... but I did move the ‘broon bucket’ round to the front garden... that could be called ‘work related’.   The shingles jab was painless, and I don’t think I’ve had any after effects;   having said that, I did fall asleep in the Hutte for nigh on an hour this afternoon.     There’s nothing new there is there?  =   I didn’t have any after effects!    I had been down on the beach at low tide (midday).... this must have tired me out!

After having a reviving mug of ‘The Hutte’ Finest;   it tasted so bad that it felt like swallowing smelling salts.    That said... it did the job... I was wide awake, and in an

alert state immediately.    I went out on the bike... this time up to Chapel green.    For the first time I met another bike on Sea Tangle Road;  we  both commented on the fact that Sea Tangle Road does not have an overabundance of folks biking over it.   It was also on Sea Tangle Road that I met, and chatted to a lady from the USA, who now lives in St Monans.... and, like all of us, loves, and appreciates, living in the East Neuk.   We are lucky living where we do.    Then, further round the Chapel Green path I met Shona, with her friend Leila;   Shona was showing Leila round our corner of the East Neuk.

Later in the evening I went down to the beach, for the third time today;   I can’t help

myself.... I can see pictures in my mind and have to go down there to get them.    It was, as ever beautiful , and I wasn’t the only person out enjoying the calm evening air.

Jim and I are going to Leven, first thing tomorrow, for haircuts.... so I’d better be on the move early:   If we get along to the hairdresser for 09.30 (ish) we might get taken straight away.   
  The weather for tomorrow is forecast to be ‘cloudy with spells of sunshine’.

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
