Cracker o' a mornin' ....


28th September 2018 (Friday) ....   08.30    I went to the beach for
Sunrise time.... 
sunrise.... and it was gorgeous.    Oh .... I’d have cortisone for breakfast if it was allowed;  I feel almost ‘normal me’.    I’m thinking the injection has worked;  however I have to take it easy today again.    Anyway where was I?... oh aye on the beach.    We have a cracker of a morning at the Centre of The Universe,... and the makings of a bonnie day.    Calumn, who was my apprentice at the Craw’s... actually he was the best apprentice I ever met in all my painting life;  but I didn’t tell him that!... is going to pick me up at 10.00 and we’re going for coffee.     He has made a success of life .... but not as a painter.... he now works in Health and Safety offshore.
I enjoyed my early morning walk, and I’m well ready for breakfast... and a cuppa.


20.00     I’ve had a really enjoyable day.    As it was a beautiful morning for a run in the car Calumn and I went Balgove, in Calumn’s car (Range Rover), where we had coffee and rolls.... and caught up with each others ‘news’.   We came home by way of
Calumn coming down Ferry Road.
the coast road, it’s a while since I’ve on the coast road.... and at Balgove for that matter.
 
After a cuppa at Ivy I went up and took ‘SD’  (Sooper Dawg)for a short walk then fed him.   He doesn’t like long walks at lunch time.... he knows he’s going to be fed when he gets back to the house.    ‘We’ met Anne on the beach;   she had been right along to the burn at the Elie end.    Leaving ‘SD’{ chomping away at his grub, I then took the car up to Chapel Green, sat on the Boss’s Seat... where I received a multitude of instructions.... then went for a walk round to Lundar Law.    It was a bonnie afternoon ... and there were Red Admirals fluttering about all over the place.    It has been a good year for butterfly’s.    I was also lucky enough to spot 15 Canada Geese flying in, over the Dome Park.

Calumn had phoned earlier to tell me that I’d left my hat in his car, so I decided to go
Canada Geese over Craigforth (Earlsferry).
to Cellardyke to pick it up... and have a cuppa with Calumn.   I got back to Ivy about 10 minutes before Jim and Myra appeared on their way home from Edinburgh;  we had a cuppa.    I’ve done well for cuppa’s today.

Cortisone injections don’t always work, but I’m thinking that this one has because walking has been less painful today.    I will keep using the stick just the same;  it helps to take the stress off the knee.

Tomorrow looks like being another nice day.... in fact a good drying day so I’ll do a washing.    I’ll contemplate doing some light work .... painting springs to mind.

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...
