It's gorgeous morning.... I'm feeling Spring-lambish .....

9th March 2017 (Drop in Cafe Day) .... It’s a gorgeous day here ... a bit windy yet, but that is forecast to moderate after lunch:   I’m going to have an early
This morning at Elie and Earlsferry.
lunch!    ‘The Boy’ (that’s me) has been busy so far this morning .... and, I haven’t been down to the beach!    The bird feeders had to be filled and rearranged;  that’s a tricky job when ‘Blob’ is hungry.   Like me he’s easily diverted ... a digestive Biscuit does the trick.    I’ve also had the ‘oover out... and used it.    I think I’m feeling ‘mair like masel’ this morning;   after a really good night long, and deep, sleep.    I’ll have another early night tonight;  I’m reading an interesting ‘historical’ novel, about the English pillaging Brittany.... written by  Bernard Cornwell.    Gory history that’s for sure. 
22.00     This ‘day’ has passed quickly .... as days do when you enjoy them,... or ...  could it be that,  as you get older, and slower, the days pass faster?   Anyway I’ve had a busy day, ... in fact I was so busy that I didn’t get down to the beach until after 09.00.    Why was that? .... oh aye;   I decided to cut my fingernails, and having done them, I did my tae nails too.   The next job was turning the computer keyboard over to
St Monans.
empty the fingernail clippings oot o’ that, (the tae nail clippings were on the floor) so I then got the ‘oover and got  rid of all nail clippings;  (there are no secrets in the Hutte!).    After that ... I wouldn’t say strenuous ... hour nearly,.... I went down to the beach to unwind.

OMG this stuff I’m drinking is seriously lacking in Cranberries and it’s called ‘Cranberry Juice’;  bought in Ainster this morning;  that’s something else I/we did... Jimmy and I went to The ‘Store’.   Now where was I?    Oh ... the juice!    It’s not ‘Ocean Spray’ the kind I normally buy, which has the taste of cranberries ... this stuff disnae have the taste of anything;  it’s a tasteless, red coloured wetness ... but thirst quenching nonetheless, so I’ll drink it.

Some of my time after lunch;  (now that was tasty .... Indian ‘things’ that I  bought at ‘the Store’)..... was spent filling up the ‘broon bucket’, because it’s ‘broon bucket’ day tomorrow.    This summer I’m going to get the garden back to the pristine look it had(?) ... the pristine look it had? ... when Maggie was around!    I’ve had a ‘dynamic’ feeling all day, and I think this might be a ‘dynamic’ year.   It will have to be if I’m
This afternoon at Elie and Earlsferry.
going to get the garden sorted out!

With the ‘broon bucket’ fu’ tae the eyeballs with weeds, ‘n stuff, I louped into the car and went up to the ‘Drop in Cafe’, in Elie, for a cuppa, and a natter.   It, the ‘cafe’, ticks over quietly noisily, with all the interchange of ‘news’, from the outlying reaches of the Parish... that’s Kinneuchar and Colinsburgh.    I don’t think there was anyone from Colinsburgh ‘in’ today .... so there was nae ‘news from that ‘outlying reach’.    The ‘news’ all happened in Kinneuchar;   but I’ve forgotten what it was.

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...
