Glorious morning ....


15th November 2018 (Thursday) .... 09.00   One of the most  endearing
07.51.
features about ‘Bonnie Scotland is ... the weather;  it changes almost as fast as I forget things.   Yesterday we had ‘wet and windy’;  today glorious sunshine and calm .    And I had the beach to myself.    It’s definitely a day for doing things.... even if it is slowly. 



20.30    It has been a day for ‘doing things’:  not that I have done very much, though I did fix the Hutte roof.     Water was leaking in through some felt nail holes.   Going up the ladder was a tricky job, luckily it was only five steps.    My knee will be sair tonight .... of that I have no doubt.

Beautiful afternoon.
The political scene in the UK continues to dominate our ‘News’;  which I have been watching, on and off all day.    There is one thing that you can say about Theresa May.    The lady has guts.   She’s been taking stick from all sides today, the worst of it from members of her own party, and she remains undaunted ... well, looks like she’s undaunted;  but she must feel slightly ‘unloved’.    The problem is that before the referendum in 2016 the public didn't get told, in detail, of all the things that would change,  after what has became known as Brexit happened.    We were going to exit the EU, everything was going to be perfect, and we were all going to be happy, .... according to UKIP etc.   Reality is of course quite different.    I don’t think the ‘powers that be’ thought the voters would vote ‘Leave’.    Now they have a mess to sort out.    Still al lot of people will make a lot of money out of this 'mess'.  

I’ve been a busy boy today (in between watching the News).    I did the paper, harbour,
Cloudy evening.
then morning coffee in Harbour House, fixed the Hutte roofing felt, then ate something.    For lunch.... food i.e.... not some random thing that flew into my mouth.
After lunch I did some more light work in the garden... pruned dead flowers etc. then went along to the ‘Drop in Cafe’, where I enjoyed a nice cuppa and a long chat, before going down to the harbour on the way home.

It has been warm today (for the time of year), and, by all accounts it’s goin g to be another warm day tomorrow... in fact more or less a repeat of today’s weather.   I’ll continue with the light ,pottering around in the garden, stuff.

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...
