Lovely morrrning ....


17th September 2019 (Tuesday)   07.30 .... it’s a nice morning and not
Quiet morning.
as cold as yesterday because there only a light wind.   I am ready to take the car to the garage though I’m not in the mood for doing that;  I’d rather stay at Ivy and annoy ‘M’.   I’m hoping the car is near the top of the list... the job shouldn’t take that long once it’s on the ramp.   Orf to have a cuppa.


21.00    What a difference the new exhaust has made;  I’m ‘in love’ with the car again.    The job didn’t take long and I was back at Ivy by 09.wo, having a cuppa with ‘M’.   We then went to Leven because ‘M’ needed to buy some bit’s and bobs, and have a trawl round the Charity shops.   ‘M’ didn’t but anything but I did;    a ‘Flat White’ in Costa Coffee.   

'M' on 'The Ferry' High Street.
From Leven we went to the Cupar Garden Centre to have lunch.    It’s a wee while since I’ve been there and it has changed just a bit.    It’s in the same location but bigger and with a bigger (and popular) restaurant.    There’s always been a restaurant at this garden centre but this is a new one:  Cupar is one of a chain of ‘Caulders Garden Centres’ in Central Scotland the first one having opened in Mugdock Park, 10 miles north of Glasgow, in 1999.    We enjoyed a braw lunch and ‘M’ bought a couple of things to take home to New Zealand.

By the time we got back to Ivy I was well ready for a quick ‘50’... which I promptly had.    George, who had been out for a walk with his camera, arrived for a blether... and a cuppa.   Ant that is what we did.    We caught up with all George’s ‘news’ and stuff.

‘M’ goes back to stay with her sisters tomorrow... staring at Crail.   I have enjoyed
Thoughtful 'M'.
having her stay with me, (for nine days I think it is);  and it has been brilliant having someone around to chat to.   Hopefully that feeling was two way!    It will be back to Skype in a a couple of weeks though I will see ‘M’ before she sets off on her journey back to Otaki (North Island, New Zealand).


‘Plan’ for tomorrow?   Well we intend going to ‘arbour ‘ouse for morning coffee then taking a few photographs around about Ivy before I take ‘M’ along to Crail.    The weather forecast is ‘nae bad’ for tomorrow.... probably cloudier than today but no mention of showers.

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...
