Nice warm morning .....

5th March 2017 (Sunday)  .... 09.30       Welllll... I got myself organised to go to the kirk, but  changed my mind;   I woke up with a choked up head, like I’ve got a
The 'Cockstail Rocks' Earlsferry.
cold coming on.    I thought I’d feel mair ‘like it’ after a shower, and I did feel ‘better’, but still headachy.... so I’m skipping the kirk.    I’ve taken a couple of Paracetemol and, instead of the kirk I’ll do my ‘pagan’ thing;  wrap up well and take a short walk on the beach to get some fresh, Centre of the Universe, air into my lungs.    I feel better already!    With Communion we have to sit downstairs, so I wouldn’t be reclaiming ‘my’ gallery today:   that will have to wait for another couple of weeks

 14.00   The ‘boy’ has just awakened from having ‘50’ in the Hutte!   Obviously my ‘pagan’ walk along the beach this morning  has taken it out of me, as I am ‘shaky leggit’ now,.....  having extended the walk up to Chapel Green.   Obviously this is some kind of, hopefully mild, bug thing.    When up at Chapel green I noticed that some of the daffodils had been broken off.    I suppose would be acceptable if this has been done by a dog, but, if by a human(?) it’s dreadful.    While contemplating this,  sitting on “The Boss’s” seat, Sandra, a lady from St Monans, came along the path, and she also mentioned the daffodils scattered around.   Sandra is a friend of a friend of Jimmy’s, so we sat and chatted.   While we are sitting on Maggie’s seat chatting, Jimmy
Kellie Law from Maggie's seat.
was sitting ‘roond the corner’ on “Alice’s Seat”:   I know this because Sandra and I walked round to see if he was there!    He was.    The three of us sat on Alice’s seat and chatted:   there was much St Monans ‘news’ discussed at Chapel Green this morning.    Jimmy and I came down to Ivy for a cuppa, Sandra continued on with her walk;   which would eventually get her back home to St Monans.
21.30    After a catnap in the Hutte I woke up feeling slightly mair like myself, so I switched the kettle ‘on’;   Jimmy turned up right on cue.    After a cuppa we went up to Morrison’s (St Andrews) for a browse;  and found the shop has been  more or less re-modelled since I last was in it.    The aisles are wider and the in-store ‘shops’ are much better.    I bought a Fish Pie, Jimmy some containers of
Jimmy alongside Jim Buttercase's creel boat.
Instant, ‘add boiling water’, porridge.   We can’t go to St Andrews without going down to the harbour.    We didn’t see anyone we knew down there;   Jim Buttercase wasn’t working on his boat, so we had a look around before setting off fro home.

I’m going to have an early night and hope to feel 100% tomorrow morning.   I have an appointment at St Andrews on Tuesday afternoon and I want to be fine for that.

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...
