Dreich morning ....

28th January 2021 (Thursday)      08.30 .... (Moan) Welllll ....we a have


really miserable morrrrrrrning;  ‘BJ’ is coming to Scotland, spreading the Southeast variant of how loved we are by the likes of him, Farage and all the other Brexiteers.   I daresay he will be on our 'News' Channels....  all day, along with  .DRoss and all the usual  sycophants:  I must remember to avoid the News Channels.    Oh ..... I absolutely disagree with someone, aye even the Prime Minister,  travelling from the Southeast for a politically motivated visit at this time.   The weather is dreich too.   Moan over.

I am feeling fine this morrrrrrrning;   I do have slightly sore muscles around the arms, neck shoulders, which is one of the symptoms you can expect after the ‘jab’.   This has surprised me ‘cos I didn’t think I had any muscles left!   Otherwise I feel ‘playful’    It will be a day of computer work and finding something to watch on the tele (other than the News).


10.00    I’ve been for the paper.... and down to the harbour and, although it’s raining...  it isn’t heavy.... and it’s not cold.  On the way up from the harbour I stopped at the Ship Inn, to take advantage of their garden being covered, to get a few photos!    Perfect.

14.00    It has been a damp day so far;  every time I go the door to see if it’s raining .... it is;   so no walk for me today.    I did find a couple of programmes to watch:  one called ‘The Islands of Fire’ and a ‘Foyle’s War’ (it’s set in Sussex) that I hadn’t seen.    Now I’m fired up and ready to work.    After a cuppa that is!

20.30    I have done a fair amount of work today..... in fact I’m happy with today’s efforts.    The ‘jab’ hasn’t affected me at all so far .... not any more than the normal flu ‘jab’.    I saw on the ‘News’ (yes.... I did end up having a look at the ‘News) that Germany has decided that the ‘Oxford’ vaccine should only be given to under 65’s.   Probably ‘sour grapes’ because the EU didn’t have the savvy to order early.... whereas

The 'Ship Inn'.

the  UK Government did.   Anyway I’m thankful that I got the jab yesterday.... and it was the ‘Oxford’ vaccine.    So Boris is my ‘pal’.... though I still object to him travelling up to Scotland (or anywhere) under the present ‘rools’.

The forecast isn’t good for tomorrow;   more rain at first though it should begin to clear away later in the afternoon.    Saturday will be a bike 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...
