Feeling happy .....

16th January 2018 (Tuesday) .... 11.00    Lovely morning in Sussex;   sunny with a brisk wind.   The brisk wind is taking a couple of degrees off the temperature, so it is cool.   Actually, I’m feeling more like myself today .... the first time
One of my favourite pictures of the Lady's Tower., Elie.
I have felt really good for a couple  of weeks;  however I’m not going to overdo things .... but I will bumble downtown to buy a few postcards, and have a  cuppa,...  and a toasted T- cake. 
16.30     Today I met “Addison” .... and she has stolen my heart.... totally!   I was having the above mentioned tea and tea cake, in ‘The Centre’, after a wee shopping session:   sitting at the next door table was Addison, with her Mum (oops .... I forgot to mention that Addison is seven months old) and her Auntie.     She, Addison, was just so cute, smiling as only seven month old babies do.   According to ‘Mum’, she is a bundle of mischievous energy .... already crawling, all over the place.

Just as I finished my tea, and as  I was blethering to Barrie, Janice came in, so we had a hot chocolate, with  marsh mallows and cream!    Never having had this before I didn’t know what to expect .... but, now that I know what it consists of I’ll be having it again.    That said, I might limit myself to only a two per week!


I forgot to mention yesterday that John (‘JB’) was the youngest in the Picture House by about 40 years last night!     ‘The Darkest Hour’ attracts... mmmmm ... how shall I put this? ..... er ... a mature audience.   Yes, ‘a mature audience’ would be right.    I didn’t feel out of place.... neither did ‘JB’;  and we both really enjoyed the film.
23.00     There’s a cold air in Sussex tonight, but frost isn’t mentioned.    Tomorrow is forecast to be ‘mostly sunny with showers’.    I’ll see how the weather is before committing myself to any action.  At some point I must go down to the Post Office (all the shops are at ‘downtown’) in the morning to buy a carton/box to post some of my clothes etc home.     I need to make my case lighter.  Orf to bed now .... I’m feeling contented, but tired.     Must remember to organise my travel tickets tomorrow;  the sooner you book, the cheaper it is.

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...
