Feeling frolicsome ....


26th March 2019 (Tuesday) ....  08.30    It’s a bonnie mornin’ ....  the air
 Ferry Road.... at 07.30.
cool as yet but not frosty, and it will quickly warm up.   There is a thin layer of cloud but nothing to bother us Scots.    I’m thinking that it’s a good drying day.... I’ll put on a wee washing.
I have Helen’s Memorial Service in the morning, then an appointment at St Andrews in the afternoon .... so a fairly busy day ahead.

 21.30     There was a big attendance at Helen’s Memorial Service .... taken by the Rev Jim Campbell.    The service was one of those sad/happy occasions:   sad because Helen is no longer with us, but happy because we were all lucky enough to have known her.    The family invited everyone for tea/coffee etc in the Kirk Hall, and I’m sure many went to the Hall;  unfortunately I had my appointment in St Andrews so couldn’t.
The Ferry beach,
I had a successful mission to St Andrews.... my PSA reading has settled down and my next appointment is in six months.    My Consultant is a happy ... and I am happy.    To celebrate I went to Morrison’s and did a wee shopping..... including a few ‘Emergency Rations’. 
  
I had a daunder to the beach after I got back to Ivy.... unsurprisingly the beach was quiet, with only a couple of people at either end, but it was bonnie and relaxing ... as ever.

I don’t have a ‘plan’ in place for tomorrow;  no doubt something will appeal to me.  
Elie beach.
  I’ll get some more work done in the garden, and take any rubbish along to the skip at Pittenweem, with the ‘broon’ bucket being ‘up tae the eyeballs’.    The weather is forecast to be ‘good’ tomorrow;  but it’s supposed to turn colder by the weekend.
I think it’s time that I made a cuppa and tried out the quality of Morrison’s Emergency Rations.

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...
