Bonnie morrrrrrrrrning ....


23rd March 2020 (Monday)     08.30 ....Jings ... I’d forgotten it was my
Elie Bay.
birthday today.... oh...and I have a parcel (that arrived on Saturday) to open:  now I am in a state of excitement.  I need cake!
We have a lovely morrrrning here .... and it’s not cold.   The wind has veered to the Southwest .... nothing good ever comes out of a wind with East in it.    It was quiet on the beach .... only one dog walker and me.... oh and I met a jogger on the way home via Earlsferry High Street.   Must go ...’slight flap on’ now got a birthday to ‘celebrate’.    I'll make another cuppa!

 09.30 ....Cake? .... who needs cake when they have a box of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Chocolates?   I am having a cuppa and two chocolates before starting to ...er ... ‘work’.   Love you all.    The chocolates were in the parcel... along with cards etc.... and an heraldic drawing (by ‘JB’) that I will photograph tomorrow to let you see.


.... a welcome sign of Spring.
17.00    It has been a strange day... we are living through strange times;  and things will never really be the same again at the end of this.  It looks like the real clampdown will be starting soon;  backed by ‘law’ if needed.   There is an ominous ‘feel’ around the country... in fact the World .... but we will come through it all by helping each other in any way we can.   Heed the warnings .... be positive.... and stay safe.   It’s going to be hard.... but the longer days and sunnier weather will soon be with us;  as long as we can get milk for our breakfast cereal  (in my case Weetabix) we’ll be fine.

 I have had a busy day... and actually enjoyed my birthday, though most of it has been spent ‘working’.   I finished one of the wee jobs today;  tomorrow I will start on a bigger one.... the greenhouse.   I realise that I can't take stuff to 'the dump' (the re-cycling Depot) but I can fill the variously coloured buckets and they will be uplifted.      When I finished 'working' for the day and ambled down from 'The Hutte, I found a bag
Morning dog walk.
with a card and goodies dangling on the front door handle:  Myra had been round.xx    I am a lucky 'boy'.  


19.30    This new routine is going to take a lot of getting into and used too;   actually getting out of what has been our normal routine up until now, is going to be the harder thing to do.    When will be get back to Harbour House for our morning coffee?   At least by the time this is over Ivy garden should be back to where it was when ‘The Boss’ was in charge of gardening!

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...
