Hmmmm ... not a drying day


7th March 2019 (Thursday) .... 08.00     Mmmmmm ....owing to the fact
Geoff's 'baby' - the newly resurfaced car park at the harbour.
that it is raining this not a drying day;  so the washing is on ‘hold’.  And so is going to the beach.    The rain, which isn’t that heavy .... but is wet, should peter out by the afternoon.   It’s a good morning for me tidying up, .... and sorting out what I brought back from Sussex.    It could be a bonnier day, and maybe even a drying one, tomorrow:  right now it looks like the sky is brightening.    Yes .... another cuppa is called for.


20.30     A big ‘Thank You’ to Brian, who looked after Sooper Buggy when I was on holiday, and re-united me with her, first thing this morning.    Why is it my cars always seem to run better after someone else looks after them? 

 
Sunset time.
Anyway after getting the car I went back to Ivy, picked up my wallet, and went to Harbour House to catch up with the ‘troops’, made an appointment for a blood test, and finally made my way to Sainsbury’s to stock up with food.    I got back to Ivy in time to have a light lunch (I’m trying to lose some more weight) before bumbling  down to the harbour to admire the newly resurfaced car park at the harbour;  by this time it had stopped raining....  the sky was still overcast, but beginning to show promise of a bonnier evening.

I dropped in to the ‘Drop in Cafe’ to catch up with the ‘Cafe troops’ .... and enjoyed a couple of cuppas and much chat.   On leaving the cafe I bumbled home by way of Balbuthie Loan.    All seems well with ‘home’.

Tomorrow is going to be a drying day:  to put it another way I've done my holiday
Sunset over Earlsferry.
washing and it is going to be on the line from the crack of dawn.... so I need tomorrow to be a drying day.    Apart from hanging out the washing .... and going to Harbour House for MC I have no ‘plan’;  but I must finish the presentation I’m doing for the Colinsburgh Rural girls in two weeks.

I’m having another early night in bed tonight;   I had a really good night’s sleep last night and another good night should have me back to normal.

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...
