Lovely morning ....


26th January 2019 (Saturday) .... 10.00    We had a hilarious Burns
Michael and Janice.... at 'The Blackboys Inn'.
Supper at the ‘Blackboys Inn’ last night .... the very man himsel’ (Robert Burns)  would have enjoyed it.    Michael, did the Address to the Haggis, and Tam O’ Shanter.... while ‘JB’ did a most memorable ‘Immortal Memory’.   A really  entertaining evening ended with Ken and Michael doing a joint rendition of Tam o’ Shanter, followed by Michael with ‘Kate o’ Shanter’.    We arrived back at “No 1” about 01.00.... tired and happy.
We have a beautiful day here... warm , and mostly sunny, though we do have a few clouds in the sky.   ‘JB’ and I are going to Hailsham to have a pub lunch so I’d better go and get myself ready.
21.30     There’s a big drop in temperature tonight.... and  the  wind is taking of another couple of degrees so nit so cosy in Sussex tonight.    ‘JB’ and I went down to Hailsham in the afternoon, met Ian then went on down to Sovereign Harbour (Eastbourne) to have a late lunch in an Italian Restaurant.     We then went back to Hailsham, met Jenny (Mum) and had coffee and goodies.


Janette.

Anita (Paul's partner) and 'JB'.
I am shattered tonight, and intend going to bed early;   I’ll find a film to watch... and probably fall asleep watching it!    The ‘Troops’, Janice, Janette and Michael are away out to the Forrester’s Hotel.... I suspect I might be in bed  and sound asleep before they get back.

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
