It's a bonnie morrrrrrrning .....

15th January 2021 (Friday)     10.00.... All is good at The Centre of the

08.35.

Universe:  the sun appeared bang on schedule, on what is a bonnie, but chilly morning.... then promptly disappeared again.   It’s fairly overcast just now but I can see the odd ‘nearly blue’ patch, so we might get a few sunny spells later.    I have yet to go for the paper, but I have been to the beach :  it was quite though I could see dog prints, so I wasn’t the first on the beach.   This is going to be a rest day for me;  I’m in a ‘work on the computer’ mood after the excitement last night:  first I will make my morrrrrrrrrrrrning mug o’ coffee, then go for the paper.

21.00    I’ve had a good day;   mostly on the computer because it has been raw cold all day, with the sun only ‘nearly breaking through’, for a short spell, when I was out, late in the afternoon.   Even then I only went as far as the beach;  no, that’s wrong;   I didn’t actually reach the beach.... I stayed up on the bents.

This afternoon.

I did a bit more research and writing:   I enjoy both because it takes me well away from the problems we face today.   Today?.....it looks like we might be facing the ‘problems’ for a while yet; there’s a serious lack of the Eyam spirit around today.... especially in the Southeast.   The UK leadership has been pathetic:   today we see another new ‘rool’.... the closing of all the travel corridors to take effect .... on Monday.   This is typical of how it has been done all along ... “wait until all the horses have bolted... then close the door”!

I have a Tesco delivery coming on Sunday after which I should be in a position to withstand a siege:   well.... until I get the first jab anyway.   We appear to still be in our


East Neuk bubble which gives me a feeling of ‘normality’.... albeit at two metres range.    Most of the time I try to keep myself as active as I can be, both physically and mentally.   Lack of normal conversation is probably the hardest thing for me to contend with:  That is surprising because it’s not as if I talk a lot!

Tomorrow?   All days are pretty much the same just now:  luckily we live in a bonnie corner of Mother Earth, with loads of photo opportunities even on dull days.    Wet days aren’t so good.   I’m off to do some more research.

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...
