A 'Royal Burgh' wedding .... ....


29th September 2018 (Saturday) .... 08.00     The sky was heavily
'Royal Burgh' Wedding.

overcast at sunrise time, but there is a lot of blue in the sky now, and, because there’s a brisk (and cool) wind it is a really good ‘drying day’.   At this time I don’t have a ‘plan’;   I didn’t expect it to be quite as breezy, and cold as it is.... so I might not get any painting done.   However, because I have plenty other things needing to be done I will not be a bored bunny.

19.00     We had a ‘Royal Burgh’ Wedding’ today:  which added a bit of excitement to an otherwise quiet day.
 The bridal party set off from ‘Waverley’ in the Ferry High Street.    I spotted the wedding cars parked in Ferry road, and went out to get a few photos of them, a Bentley S1 (1955) and a Jaguar Mk2 (1964), however when I saw that the bridal party were leaving from ‘Waverley’ I decided to get a few photos of.... something even rarer than the two cars;  a ‘Royal Burgh’ wedding.    Congratulation to the Happy Couple ....
May the best ye've ever seen
Be the worst ye'll ever see
May a moose ne'er leave yer girnal
Wi' a tear drap in his e'e
May ye aye keep hale an' he'rty
Till ye're auld eneuch tae dee
May ye aye be jist as happy
As we wish ye aye tae be!

Sunrise time.
I have had a funny old day..... start at the beginning Alberto.... Okay.    Overnight I was buzzin’ and couldn’t sleep;    I felt like doing ‘ousework.    However I dare not do any work as I’d to rest my knee, so I read my book.    However the lack of sleep eventually caught up with me this afternoon;  I lay down on top of the bed and fell asleep, for two whole hours.    I suspect I won’t be sleeping again tonight.    I’ve discovered that Cortisone injections can mix up the sleep patterns (short term), and my sleep patterns are well mixed up.   Being short term I’m hoping to be back to normal by Monday.
You’ll have reasoned from the above that I have had a ‘lazy’ day;  which I have.    I’ll
The 'Ivy Cottage' apple tree.
take a couple of Paracetemol before bedtime tonight and try to get myself back into my normal rhythm.    In fact I might have a lie in tomorrow morning;  instead of getting up to catch the sunrise.

I took advantage of that fact that it has been a good ‘drying day’;   and it was...     my washing dried in ‘nae time’.    In fact if I’m creepin’ aboot at funny time overnight I will do the ironing.

It looks like we’re going to have another “bright and breezy” day tomorrow .... and cool.    I don’t have a  ‘plan’;  if I’m feeling frisky I’ll start getting organised for ‘JB’ arriving next  Thursday.

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 friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

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 lunch!   And it was a really good lun

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
