Cracker of a morning


9th July 2020 (Thursday)     10.00 .... My word .... what fantastical morning;
Elie Bay.
 which is why I am so late updating The Hutte.   I set off on the paper run at 06.20 and got back to Ivy (with a paper) at 08.05.... and I’ve only been round the villages.   In that time I manage to take 209 photographs.... but have binned about 30.   I have loads to really sort out later.    There was hardly a breath of wind, the water was like a mirror (near enough) and the air was warm.   I’m a happy boy.
21.30    I’ve had a busy a happy .... and busy day.   It has been a lovely day... until now;  it’s starting to ran as per forecast but it should have passed over us by tomorrow morning.    I hope to go for the paper on the bike so that I can do the villages and Kinneuchar loch if there’s nae wind.
Myra.
I had a trip to the beach after my morning coffee;  just to the seat on the bents.   Myra was going to be walking along to the shops so we had a blether and watched the folk setting up for a day by the seaside, and others out for a leisurely stroll:  it looked like the beach was going to be busy.  Myra set off to the shops and I went back to Ivy and did a spot of gardening;  and lounging around in The Hutte.

Yesterday I ordered a set of coloured pencils:  I feel that I need  a greater choice of different shades of colours than the twelve I have at present.    Colouring in is very relaxing.... but this first picture that I’m working on is complicated.... and I only do a wee bit now and again which explains why it’s taking so long.   There’s a book-full of complicated pictures hence the order for a set of pencils.

We over 75’s are going start paying for our TV Licence (£157) from August.   I wonder
The 'harbour' girls.
if this means we’ll be able to watch sport events without booze, betting or a multitude of advertisements for unwanted and unneeded cra .... er stuff.   My reasoning is;  there’s advertising all over ‘sports’ events on the BBC anyway so why don’t they go the whole hog and scrap the licence and go for advertising revenue so that none of us have to pay a licence.  Moan over:  I’m looking forward to another lovely quiet day tomorrow.

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...
