Feeling spritely ....

     
4th December 2019 (Wednesday)      07.30 .... although still dark it feels
Anstruther.
like we have the beginnings of a nice enough day.... “sunny intervals and a fresh breeze” is the ‘KY9 forecast for today’.   I’m feeling ‘bright eyed and bushy tailed’ this morning.... I had  seven hours continuous sleep last night.   
This morrrrrrning I have to go to the Post Office in Ainster;  in fact I’ll bumble along there early and be back in time for ‘morrrrrrning coffee’ in ‘arbour ‘ouse.   Right now I’m orf to have breakfast.

 Oh ... I mentioned that I was going to buy a brighter LED lamp for the computer room:  and I did that yesterday.   It has two intensities of light ... sort of ordinary and really white/bright;  I have to say that the white light does make me feel ‘ well ‘brighter’.    I do believe that it will help defeat the SAD effect  of a grey rainy day.

Sunset time this afternoon.
12.59    My word;  I have actually done all the things that I wanted to do this 
morning.... and I have an appointment at the dentist for a check up this afternoon (a cancellation).   I had been swithering whether to leave the dental check up until after I come back from Sussex, but I am glad that I did go;   at least I’ll have had the check up and if I need any treatment I’ll get that after Sussex.   Unless I get really lucky and there’s another cancellation.

On the way home I bought the paper(s) and had morning coffee, in ‘arbour ‘ouse, with the ‘Troops’.... and caught up with their recent activities.   
We had some bonnie skies earlier but the sky is heavily overcast now.... but at least it’s dry.  Now I’m thinking I’d better get myself organised for the dentist this afternoon.

19.00        This morning I went to make an appointment to have a check up at Dental
15 minutes after sunset.
Surgery;  n which I had this afternoon.    On Friday I go in to have my teeth scaled and polished and that’s me all done before going to Sussex.   So that was a pleasant surprise.   Tom celebrate I went to Harbour House and had another coffee!

Today has been good for taking photographs;  and  that I morning and afternoon.    Now I shall sort out the photographs I’ve taken then write some more Christmas cards.

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...
