Scotch Broth ....

 

19th August 2020 (Wednesday)     08.00 ....As per forecast we have an

Tenth tee.
overcast sky with the chance of early morning drizzle;   I’ll go for the paper later .... probably round about lunch time, when the sun  should have broken through.    I’ve got the Scotch Broth going in the crock pot (it should be ready about 16.00);  this is the first broth I’ve had with a kumera in it.... so will be interesting to see if it changes the flavour much.  

19.00     The soup has turned out tasty so I’ll have plenty for freezing tomorrow.  I went up to Chapel Green in the morning to get some photos of golfers from Lundar Law.... and of the seaweed gatherers on the rocks at Coalbakie;  and I’m pleased with the results.   There was a cool Easterly wind so I went round to Maggie’s Seat and sat there contemplating.   I watched a bloke come settle down on one of the seats and went over to talk to him.... and to get some beach photos.    He was about to take a Yoga class... he has a regular class at Bowhouse if I heard him correctly.   Chapel Green is popular with Yoga groups as there was a group of girls doing yoga there yesterday morning.


Edinburgh seaweed gatherers.
I set off to go for the paper but discovered that I was too late for that so went back to Ivy and put the bike on charge.... thinking I might go out later in the afternoon.   By this time it was lunch time.

After lunch I went out to The Hutte and fell fast asleep ;  and woke up feeling dizzy and faint.... it must have been the way I was lying on the seat.    Anyway I had a glass of water and felt better after drinking that.    I didn’t go out on the bike in the afternoon;   I decided to strip and change my bed.    That wasn’t my best idea because I’m not sure if tomorrow is going to be a good drying day.   However that job is done.   Mind you I still felt like I’ve had a ‘bug’... which I’m putting down to the stress I feel at this time .... so I lay down on it and fell fast asleep for an hour and a half, and woke up feeling ‘mair like myself.    I’ll take a couple of pills and have an early night tonight.

21.00     There’s rain forecast for tonight and it is supposed to clear away by mid

Kincraig Cliffs.
morning .... so my washing might get hung out to dry after all.    I’m having a cuppa and a look at the ‘news’ before going to bed.   I feel tired tonight and plan for tomorrow to be a ‘rest day’.

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...
