Fresh morning ....


17th May 2019 (Friday)     08.30 .... although there’s slightly more cloud
Anstruther from the Golf Club.
about this morning, we have a promising start to the day, and the forecast is good;    a good day for being out.    I actually began my day by sleeping in;  now I’m ready to rock n’ roll.    I’ll get the (Maggie’s ... the e-bike has yet to arrive) bike  out in the afternoon and go up to the Estate.  


20.00    Oh my word ..... I have been for lunch, at Anstruther Golf Club, with Calumn, Eleanor, Sandy and Maisie(?), Sandy and Eleanor’s granddaughter.   I also met Frazer, and Calum’s retriever pup Storm.   It was great catching up with all their ‘news’;   and there was much to catch up with.     Frazer is a young man now;  when I last saw him he would be about 12.   Eleanor and Sandy look really well;   their breaks in Portugal do them good.    Calumn hasn’t changed a bit, but then it isn’t that long since I saw him.    We
Eleanor.
had a really substantial ‘lite lunch’ at the ‘Club’... in fact I brought half of mine home as a ‘doggie bag’ for dinner.    The brilliant new is:   the ‘Craw’ is alive and well .... he’s where he belongs, ‘living in Anstruther, with Eleanor and Sandy, who have resurrected ‘him’ as “The Craw’s Nest Trust” (Regd. Charity No SCO 38696) logo!

I didn’t do very much in the morning;  but I did go for ‘morning coffee’ in Harbour House.    Laura suggested that I might be a good ‘plan’ to try a change of image as I was going out for lunch....  so I smartened myself up.    My natural/normal look is sort of .... clean, but unkempt I suppose.   Anyway I did enjoy lunch (and dinner) and
Sandy with Maisie(?).
catching up with all the ‘news’.
We have a change with the weather tomorrow.... an east wind with light rain off the North Sea.   Not promising, but it might brighten up later.   I’ll work on the computer if the weather is gloomy.
Oh .... the e-bike (I’ll need to come up with a name for ‘her’) has been despatched from the warehouse, but I don’t have an actual date for delivery but I imagine it will be early next week.   Not Tuesday... please don’t make it Tuesday ....  that’s the day the car goes to the garage in to get bits fixed.

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...
