Sunny Sussex morning .....

17th January 2017 (Tuesday) ..... 09.00      Half  an hour ago I was thinking “that’s a successful mission completed;   “Bonnie”, pilled, fed and watered;  now I can fire up the laptop”.    I ran upstairs grabbed the computer, and, .... downstairs again ... having  checked my Inbox , I suddenly remembered that I had yet

to ‘pill and breakfast’ myself.    That has been remedied , now both Bonnie and myself are ready to face the day.

We have a bonnie “Sunny Sussex” this morning, and I might take a daunder ‘downtown’ later .... it all depends on the auld bones  operating in  a fluent manner.  
22.30     It has been ‘wall to  wall’ “Sunny Sussex” today.... a really beautiful day.   Bonnie and I spent a bit of time in the garden, but I didn’t go ‘downtown’ .... it would have taken me a long time to creep back up the hill!     This bug certainly does ‘take the pins from you’.    Tomorrow is forecast to be much the same as today ‘bright, sunny and cold’ though it may cloud over later in the afternoon.     

I watched our Prime Minister, Theresa May, delivering her “Brexit” speech at Lancaster House today ....  not the most exciting stuff to watch, but important for the future of the UK... and Scotland’s part in it.    I looked on this as being part of the ‘R and R’ re the ‘bug’;   however  I didn’t feel any ‘better’ at the end of the speech so perhaps I should have found something more therapeutic to watch.     “Sooper Dawg” slept through it!

With the weather forecast being ‘good’ for tomorrow I am doing a washing, which I’ll hang out in the sun.    The washing won’t dry much, because there’s little in the way of wind forecast, but it will at least get a touch of fresh Sussex air.     I will make a serious attempt to go downtown at some point during the day....I suspect it will be a long slow walk.... especially on the way home;   I need some fresh Sussex air too!

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...
