Serene morning ....

28th November 2017 (Tuesday) .... 10.00    We have a serene kind of morning .... a really nice one for having a slow amble along the beach etc.... and that is
It's like being in a dream ..... then again I probably am!
what I did.    I was out for an hour enjoying the relaxing mood .... everything seemed to be moving in slow motion ... even the waves, they  were of  flopping kind, and flopped lazily.    I think I like ‘lazy’.    The only other person I met was Jenny walking her dog, and like me, she was enjoying the quiet .... and the fact that it is warmer today!

I will have to stay around Ivy most of the day, waiting for  DPD delivery .... usually later in the afternoon.     Until then I’ll occupy myself doing stuff around Ivy... like printing orf my Christmas cards.
22.00     My word .... the ‘Boy’ (that’s me) has been a happy boy today;     I don’t know why but I got into a sort of working mode .... as in house.    Oh the chair arrived, and I am much pleased with it... in fact it’s better than I thought it would be.... very comfortable, and easy to get out of without stressing hips and knees.     I am also very
Earlsferry High Street.
impressed with the delivery company DPD, they give you an hour long time slot, and turn up in the first quarter of an hour of that slot.... or have done the three times I’ve had them deliver ‘stuff’.

While waiting for delivery I decided to do an ironing, which was easy.    I then made my downy into its winter mode .... that wasn’t.    Easy that is.    It’s one of those downy’s that can be either 9.5, 4.5. or 14 tog.     It was easy clipping the two (9.5 and 4.5) together with the studs, but getting it, the winter downy, into the cover was something else.   When I was crawling about, inside the cover, the phone rang;   by the time I got to the phone it had stopped ringing.   It was someone flogging something;  I know this because they didn’t leave a message.... and the source was ‘unavailable/international’.    I went back to the
A bonnie end to a bonnie day.
downy.    It is now on the bed and looks very cosy .... but that was after a another bumble around inside the cover getting the bottom corners in place.

Jim came down in the evening for a blether, and to try out the new chair.   One of the topics we discussed, was the Sinai peninsula and its historical place in Christianity:   Moses and the Ten Commandments etc.... and St Catherine’s Monastery.    Jim and Myra have been there.


Tomorrow’s weather is forecast to be a ‘good drying day’ so I’ll wash the downy cover;   the one I extracted the ‘summer’ downy from.    Jim and I will probably go up to Laura’s for coffee at 10.00 (ish).     We have the Colinsburgh Lite Lunch at 12.30.

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...
