Myra and Jim Diamond Wedding Anniversary .... ...


5th September 2019 (Thursday)    08.00 ....  we have ‘sunny spells’ and
Jim and Myra - 60 years wed.
a brisk wind’;    with a chilly air from the Northwest.    An excellent drying day:   which is handy, I have a washing going through the machine.

My bedtime reading just now is a book called ‘No Time for Goodbye’, (Linwood Barclay), and it’s one of the most intriguing mysteries I’ve ever read.   I woke up at 02.00 and started thing about where the story was;  and had to pick up the book and read for about an hour.   And it has been like that all the way through.

Hey the clouds coming in from the northwest are heavier looking than I thought they’d be;  this is not good!

Jim and Geoff sorting out the cards.
20.00    Myra and Jim’s Diamond Wedding Celebration Party was spectacular.  Leven Beach Care Home pulls out all the stops when it comes to family celebrations.... but today’s was exceptional.   The ‘Quiet Lounge’ was decorated, tables set beautifully;  everything ‘just so’:  and there was a wide choice of food, and loads of it.    Everyone enjoyed the occasion... especially Jim and Myra:  it was good to see them enjoying their Especial Day together.   I must mention the fact that Myra had to sign for one of the cards that the ‘postie’ delivered today;   it was from HM The Queen.    We are all looking forward to Jim and Myra’s Platinum Anniversary!    I managed to take a few photographs of the ‘Day’... some of which look the way I hoped they’d look..... ‘romantic’.   I’ll sort some out and print them off, and give the whole bunch to Myra on a ‘stick’.

Now we return to the mundane stuff.    The weather was excellent in the afternoon, and
Jim and Myra with their sons Sandy and David.


my washing was well dry when I got back to Ivy.   I’m beginning to feel tired now, but then I haven’t had ‘50’ today at all.   Anyway I’m coming to the crunch part of the ‘bedtime book’  so it will be a very early night in bed tonight.    I doubt if I’ll finish it before I fall asleep, but I will try.

Tomorrow?    Hmmmm ... anything I do tomorrow will be ‘dull’ after the excitement and pleasures of today, but I’ll make the best of it.   I can look forward to picking up a paper, and having morning coffee in Harbour House.   That’s always good.   The weather is forecast to be slightly sunnier tomorrow.... after a short spell of light, overnight/early morning rain.   That won’t bother us.

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 friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

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 lunch!   And it was a really good lun

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
