Dreich morning ....

16th January 2017 (Monday) .... My thoughts are with Janice and Michael today:   Janice has her ‘op’ in Eastbourne this afternoon, ... so a  stressful time for them both.     “Bonnie” and I are looking forward to Friday .... Janice will be home.  

 It appears that “Bonnie” has decided the she will be i/c and that, for her, sleeping is ‘Order of the day’, .... and,  being that it is raining, and none too warm, sleeping isnae bad idea.     I’m  going to bake scones, and have been up to the local shop, a Mini Tesco, for some ingredients.    It’s a handy shop but doesn’t have a wide selection of goods.    It does have Tunnock’s Caramel Wafers and Milk Chocolate Digestives;   both vital ingredients on a dour day like today.
19.00    Brilliant news;   Michael phoned, at 18.40, to say that Janice is sitting up in
Bonnie looking for "Mum" (Janice.)
bed, drinking tea.   “Bonnie” and I are celebrating with a cuppa.

22.30     This has been a long day, but we’ll sleep soundly tonight knowing that Janice is ... probably ‘planning plans’ as we sleep!     Among the ‘sound sleepers’ will be “Bonnie” the Westie.     Having said that she did sleep well today, only becoming ‘restless’ about 12.45 for some obscure reason.

I left Michael and Bonnie sound asleep on the sofa when I crept upstairs a few minutes ago;   they well deserve their sleep!    I was going to wash the crockpot but that would have been too noisy so I’ll do it in the morning.
We’ve been watching the preparations at the White House for the forthcoming Presidential inauguration on Friday:   I know it happens every four years but for some reason this one is going to be ‘different’ ... and then some!      Donald Trump, will become “President of the United States of America”.... and with the new President seemingly representing “GREED” – and there is far too much of that attitude on the planet today;   this is something to be concerned about.

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...
