Beautiful morning ....


19th March 2020 (Thursday)      08.30 ....  what a beautiful morning we
'Ivy Cottage' Daffy Down Dillies.
have at the ‘Centre of The Universe’ ..... a near enough cloudless sky after an early touch of frost;  really nice morning for getting a haircut.    We need a lot of this kind of weather to cheer us through the next few weeks/months.   I saw a Queen Bumble Bee (that’s the second one I’ve seen in the past two days .... it probably is the same Queen) passing the window just now.... yes it is a cracker of a day.
I’m going for a haircut... and a wee shopping browse around Leven then I will settle into a controlled routine of ‘self isolating’.... hopefully on the bike.

17.00    My word .... if this weather continues we’ll have to get the sun-cream out:   it has been a cracker o’ a day.   I had my haircut .... and I am glad that is over with.    ‘Kirsty’, the lassie that does my hair, gave me a really short ‘back and sides’ because it will be at least a couple of months (probably three) before I have my next haircut.    Although I call it a ‘short back and sides’ apparently it is the modern style as per football players.   Right enough the top footballers have been sporting ‘short back and sides’ haircuts for a few months now!    I have not to try to ‘tidy my hair up’ myself.... “I (Kirsty) would have to sort out the mess”!    I had been dreading this trip to Leven because it would be busy.... not so:  in fact everyone appeared to be keeping to the ‘two metres apart’ rule.   Apart from hairdressers who can’t do that.   

Late afternoon.
The busiest place was Sainsbury’s:... that’s the place to go if you want to buy a set of shelves by the way:  oh they did have some goods and I got what I wanted (breakfast bars etc) but many of the shelves were bare.   I suppose the panic buyers could now buy the shelves and set up as mini-markets in their garages!   What a world we live in.
Leven High Street was suffering badly from ‘SAD’... even more than it usually does.    I had a cuppa and a sausage roll in Stuart’s and though everyone was cheery you could feel ‘worry’ all around you.

Anyway I have had my haircut, something that has been ‘worrying’ me for the past
.... and again.
couple of days;  now I can settle down into a new routine.
21.30     Tonight I finally cracked ‘Facetime’ on the phone:  I didn’t realise that I had to put the BT Hub secret code into the phone to make the final link ..... anyway I ended up talking to ‘The Troops, Emily John and John in Somerset.  I think it might have been by accident!   

Would you believe it;  the villages are full of people and I have to avoid them!   This is not good.... and I’m thinking that our wee villages will be ‘living’ villages right through until the end of the summer.   It’s going to be a frustrating summer for this boy;  I like talking!

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...
