Excited .... ....


7th April 2018 (Saturday) .... 10.00      Oops ... I sneezed;   could this be a cold coming on?.... no,... it means that I shouldn’t do any dusting!     Anyway .... we
Kinneuchar loch.
have a nice morning here,;  that said it was brighter earlier, and has clouded over a bit in the past hour.    
I’ve had an exciting start to my day.    I went out on the bike to do my usual run to the harbour etc. and got caught up by Chris and Sophie on their bikes.   We had a ‘catch up’ chat, at the Breakwater, where I stop to take photographs;   Chris and Sophie then set off for the harbour, I bumbled my way to the harbour, taking photographs, at my regular stops, before coming home via Elie Estate.    The Estate road is muddy in places, which only to be expected after the rain we’ve of late, but it great to be up there again.... and to see the swans on the loch.    I reckon there are 40 plus ... many of them being immature.   
My next move is to attack the Buddleia bush .... after breakfast, and a cuppa.

Kinneuchar Loch.
13.30    The Buddleia bush has been cut down ....  I need to bore a few holes in the stump, then fill them with Stump destroyer.    The holes have been bored but there’s no point in using the stuff at this time of year..... the sap is rising.    I’ll kill the stump off in October.    However, in the meantime I’ll be able to tidy up the ‘romantic’ corner of the garden.
18.00     I’d say that this has been a satisfying day for me:   I’ve been out on the bike, met, and talked to, Chris and Sophie... oh ... and Brian;  and got some decent photographs.   Yes I’m happy tonight:   and feeling more like myself.

Tonight I don’t have to make ‘food’;    Myra and Jim have invited a few folk for ‘dinner’, including ‘this boy’:   Jim will be slaving in the kitchen as I type!    We have
I get the impression that this lot are on 'the mooch - they want food!
light rain at the moment so I’m going to unearth a brolly.    The weather has been warm, and mostly dry today... and it’s forecast to be much the same tomorrow.    If that turns out to be the case, I’ll get the bike out again... and perhaps go for a longer ‘run’;   and make a start on tidying up the ‘romantic’ corner.   Right now  I’d better go and make myself ready for dinner at “No 3”.

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...
