Quiet ....

6th January 2021 (Wednesday)      08.00 ....My ailments are all where they


should be and I’m feeling lively this mornin’:  and .... having been out to give Blob his breakfast, I can see that it’s a quiet and peaceful morning.... the beginning of a pleasant day.    I’m actually thinking of having morning coffee at Chapel Green;  the forecast is good.... but it is going to be cold.  

  21.00      My surgery appointment went perfectly;  and my BP will come down a bit now that the appointment is past.   Plus  .... I have ‘lost’ 3 kilograms.     I am a happy bunny tonight.    After the appointment I went to the harbour, before morning coffee ... at Ivy Cottage.... it was just too cold to have coffee with ‘The Boss’ at Chapel Green.  


I thought about getting the bike out in the afternoon but the frost had never lifted in the shade; treacherous conditions for a bike.   The car was a safer option so I went up to Elie and took a few photos of the kirk in late afternoon sun light.... then along to Chapel Green.   I saw someone with a load of rubbish from the beach .... I didn’t realise it was Neil (though I should have) until I saw him coming up Glover’s Wynd with the dogs.   I enjoyed the afternoon out in the car.   That was a good move for me because I saw a lady slip, and go down, at the Bus Stop;  luckily she was uninjured.    A gent, passing in a car, stopped to help her up then she and her friend continued on their way.    I was at the East end of the kirkyard when all this was going on.

The ‘News’ pictures coming from the USA just now are, to say the least, a bit


disconcerting and  reminiscent of Nazi Germany in the 1930’s.  Hopefully good sense will prevail and the Presidential handover take place without loss of life.    Sadly the USA is riddled with guns.

Tomorrow looks like being another nice day, though there is the chance of sleet showers in the morning.   I haven’t a ‘plan’, though anywhere I do go will be in the car as it is going to be cold.   I’m thinking of Balcarres Den via Robin Gray’s Cottage.

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...
