30th June 2018 (Saturday) .... 08.00    We have the makings of a nice day; 
 .... we have a lovely morning! 
  though there is a cool breeze.    Of course, that was earlier, and the sun is starting to burn off  the clouds so it could be warm(er) today.    The beach was tranquil .... and a few walkers were out enjoying this, the best time of the day.   I could have easily fallen asleep on “Nana’s” seat.... where I was having a ‘general contemplate’ after my bumble along the beach.

14.00    My word .... it is 22c in Ivy garden;  it will be cooler on the beach, (which will be busy), because there is a brisk easterly wind.     I’ll have a walk down to the beach later.... after it quietens.   I’m feeling ‘shy’ today.    Actually my knee is bothering me slightly, so I’m resting it.    Right enough, the garden work I did the other day agitated the knee, because I was climbing and twisting.   The problem is that I still think I can do things the way I did them 10 years ago.    Anyway forget all that;  we have a lovely day here;   not as hot as in ‘sunny Sussex’ but hot by East Neuk coast standards.... and I’m enjoying it.    I’ve done some washing, which is already dry, now I’m wondering if I should look for more stuff to wash.   It is the perfect ‘drying day’. 
  

Ferry Road.
21.30    George dropped in for a cuppa in the afternoon, and, for a couple of hours, we put the World to rights in the Hutte.    Myra phoned to say that our tickets have arrived for our holiday in Cornwall.    That got me into a state of excitement.... so ...    I pruned my tae nails.   This has been an exciting afternoon.     Oh ... I did Hoover up the tae nail pruning’s clippings!

It has been a lovely day, but too hot for me to work outside:  instead I have been backing up photographs onto DVD’s... 98Gb worth.    That equals a lot of DVD’s ‘cos I make two back up copies.    I need to take the 128Gb stick with me when we go to Cornwall, so that I can empty the camera card.    I won’t be updating The Hutte for the whole week we’re away, but I will upload photos, onto Facebook, every day from my
Ivy water lilies.
phone.      I’m not keen on going ‘online’ in a hotel;   but I will take the laptop to sort out the photograph cards, and I don’t need to go online to do that.

Tomorrow’s weather looks like being a repeat of today’s;  sunny and warm with a cool Easterly breeze.    There’s a picnic on the Toll Green after the kirk Service tomorrow morning:   guess who is thinking of going to the kirk.    Actually that’s naughty;  only going to the kirk when there’s food.

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...
