Feeling animated .....

20th August 2017 (Sunday) .... 08.30    We have ‘bright and sunny’ with a nice autumnal North Westerly breeze;  and I’m feeling animated.    I’ve been round Chapel Green.... I’m now having breakfast, one and a half  Shredded Wheat
Kinneuchar Loch swan family.
with honey and milk, followed by a mug of coffee .... while I wait for the washing machine to finish birlin’ so that I can hang out the washing, before going up to Elie for a paper.    It’s a lovely for spreading love and happiness  around .... and, there’s Teas/Coffee in Kilconquhar Church this afternoon, the very place to find copious amounts of all four.... love happiness, tea and coffee.... plus goodies.
20.30    Oh my word ... didn’t we do well at the Kinneuchar Coffee/Tea afternoon .... three boys (senior variety), and one real boy managed to clear their two tier cake stand... as in nothing left.    We have been missing our ‘goodies’.    The Coffee/Tea afternoon was quiet... which was disappointing;   that said, we had, as ever, 'love and happiness' in abundance!

Harvest time.
Jimmy and I went down to the Sailing Club to torment ... er chat to Lorraine and have a cuppa.    Lorraine wasn’t there so we had the cuppa;   and during the ‘having’ of it, Lorraine and Stuart appeared:   they had been out for a romantic run in the car.     Mike came in after his last trip round the bay’ for today;   he, Mike,  was quickly followed by another sailor .... I became quite dizzy listening to all the nautical talk.
  
We have had a lovely evening;  actually it has been a lovely day, though it did turn rather cloudy for a couple of hours in the afternoon.    Anyway I went down to my er the beach for a relaxing daunder, thinking it would be quiet;  to my surprise it was busy so I had a quick walk down to the water, took a few photos,
The beach this evening.
then scampered back up to Ivy.    I was expecting to find a few more ‘parking places’ to choose from after today, but it seems that we might have another week of a ‘parking lottery’.   Parking has been diabolical for the past three weeks.... in fact I've taken to using the car only when absolutely necessary.

Tomorrow is forecast to be another bonnie, and less windy, day.   I’ll get ‘up and out’ early, then back into Ivy for the remainder of the day.

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...
