Broon bucket day .....


24th May 2019 (Friday) .....08.30    “Good Morrrrrrrrrrrrrning” from  a
Elie - from Rires Farm.
‘bright and breezy’ Centre of the Universe, .... and warm too,... out of the wind.    Being as its ‘broon’ bucket day I’ve been uprooting a few weeds, so haven’t been anywhere yet.    Actually it is a good gardening morning so I might continue with that after breakfast;  and go biking in the afternoon.    Slight ‘flap on’... it’s breakfast time.

18.30     I’ve done well in the garden today, but I never went out on the bike;   the roads were too busy with holiday makers arriving for the weekend.    In the garden I tidied up the steps up to the Hutte, and began to unearth the other set of steps up to the
East end of Colinsburgh from Rires Farm.
top part of the garden.... so I’m happy enough with the work effort today.    I did worry about the weight of the 'broon' bucket.... I visualized the handle being ripped off when the machine went to lift it!    AS for biking ..... I’ll get out early tomorrow before the roads become busy;  then ‘hole up’ around Ivy for the remainder of the day.  
21.00   It has been a big day in British politics with PM Theresa May being ‘forced’ to resign by the rumblings in her own party.   Aye .... I have been watching the ‘News’ in between gardening etc.    Who takes over now is the big worry.   None of the leading contenders, for the job of Leader of the Tories... and next Prime Minister.... ‘come across’ as being honest..   Yep .... I think the UK is in for a rough time.    Give PM Theresa May her due... she tried, very hard, to honour the result of the referendum, but failed.     Sadly, she will be remembered for;   failing to get Brexit through parliament. ... and that stupid General
Balcarres House from Rires.
Election that she thought would increase her majority in the House of Commons.    Instead of an increased majority, she ended up tied to the DUP’s apron strings.  
 

Now what’s my ‘plan for tomorrow?    Not to watch the ‘News’ that’s for sure.     Actually I’ll do as I said earlier;  out on the bike early, then potter around Ivy for the remainder of the day.    The weather is supposed to much the same as today, but with lighter winds, and the chance of light rain later 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 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...
