Bright and breezy ....

 

22nd August 2020 (Saturday)       09.30 .... It’s a beautiful, bright and breezy

The 'Ferry corner'.
morning and everything is where it should be all around the villages.... the paper has been picked up from the ‘paper shop, along with two rolls,  so I am ready for the weekend.    The wind is a bit too strong for my biking to Balcarres and, would you believe it, the card reader I ordered yesterday at 15.30 could be delivered today;  that would be amazing.   I really think it will be Monday though;   I’m not sure if it will come by Parcel Force or the ‘postie’.     I’ve taken a ‘wheen’ o’ photographs this morning and might even get out again in the afternoon ....  I’ll have a lot to ‘play’ with when the reader does arrive.

18.30    Ferry Road seemed busy today, presumably with some holiday makers leaving and new ones coming in.    I’ve had a great day:  Myra phoned inviting me up to ‘No 3’ for morning coffee:   by the time I got there (I’d wandered along the beach meeting ... and chatting to...  a few folks on the way) Kirsty and Geoff were already e.    It was good catching up with each other’s news .... of which there was loads but I’ve forgotten it all.    The girls and I walked along the beach on the way home;  Geoff was in the ‘Buggy’..... Myra was having her morning exercise, and Kirsty lives just round the corner from me.

It’s Janice’s birthday tomorrow (Sussex daughter in law) and I ordered (online) a bunch of flowers to be delivered to No 1.    This morning I had an e-mail from the company (Prestige Flowers) to tell me that the flowers would be delivered as asked.... and it looked like they were going to be delivered to Ivy Cottage!    I read the e-mail a couple of times and was convinced I’d done it all wrong.    But all was fine;  the flowers were delivered to Janice as I’d asked.    I read the e-mail again and it did make sense .... after I knew they were where they were supposed to be.

My afternoon was spent making Shepherd’s Pies for the freezer;  so this has been a very satisfying and pleasurable day for me.    The weather has been fine .... though it is cloudier now.    I think tomorrow is going to be another ‘nae bad’ day .... much like today was.

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...
