57th wedding anniversary .... ....


9th September 2018 (Sunday) ....  08.30    “Happy Anniversary” to “The Boss,  on our 57th wedding anniversary.    How time flies, and much has changed
Lunch time on The Boss's Seat.
during the flying of it.   I’ll have morning coffee on ‘Maggie’s Seat’ later, and mull over the changes.
Everything is wet after overnight rain, but it is not raining now;   there are blue patches beginning to appear, giving us sunny spells, ....and it isn’t cold.     It could be bonnie day by midday.

12.30    I’m exhausted after watching Mo Farah winning the Great North Run... for the fifth time in succession.    I’m now going up to Chapel Green (in the car) to have coffee and sandwiches for lunch.    I’m taking the car because there are showery looking clouds scuttling over;  I don’t think it will rain but I’m not going to take a chance .... like I did the other evening on the beach.
Enjoying the view from Chapel Green, Earlsferry.

16.30     I was down when I got up this morning, but, after lunch on Maggie’s Seat at Chapel Green, and after chatting to numerous visitors... the doldrums vanished and I was ready to go.   One of Maggie’s favourite runs on our anniversary, was a bumble along to Crail in the car, have coffee in the Cafe, then ‘home by the back roads’.   And that is what I did.    I went down the Hen’s Ladder to the harbour (that was hard work.... but not as hard as coming back up), took a few photographs, saw that there was a black cloud coming over and was back at the car just as it started to spit rain.    It was one, short, sharp and heavy shower, so I was a lucky boy.    It didn’t last long and I was  out of the rain by the time I got to ‘The Secret Bunker’.     We now have the makings of a nice evening.


19.00     I’m feeling brighter now;  anniversaries are always a mix of sad and happy memories.    I’m thankful for the time Maggie and I were together, .... but I left Chapel Green with a lot of ‘instructions’ to get things done before ‘JB’ arrives on the 4th October.    All in all I have enjoyed our anniversary... and I did enjoy ‘our’ trip to Crail.

Tomorrow morning is going to be busy;   Mike is going to fit the new toilet, I have two
Creel boat leaving Crail Harbour.
appointments at the surgery (within half an hour):  one with the Doctor and one with a Nurse.    The Doctor I’m hoping will inject some cortisone into my knee,... the nurse will remove some blood from my arm.    There’s a bit of ‘give and take’ with tomorrows appointments.   I’ll ‘rest’ in the afternoon.

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
