My word .... we have a beautiful day ....

21st February 2021 (Sunday)     10.00 ....I’ve been for a braw walk this


morning;   along the beach to Telfer Wynd, then up to and home by way of the golf course.    It’s a bonnie Spring day so I should get some work done in the garden;  then again I may go out on the bike.   Right now I’m going to try and get into the kirk service on ‘Zoom’  ....failing that I can get it on YouTube, either now or later in the day:  Got to make a cuppa first.


15.00    ‘Going to the kirk’ on ‘Zoom’  works perfectly;  well it did once I knew what to do in ‘the room’.   The ‘room’ is where you go for five minutes, at the end of the service, and meet with a few others, from the ‘congregation’, for a ‘blether’.   Up till now I have been ‘going to kirk’ on YouTube,  but without doubt ‘Zoom’ is better.

I have just ‘surfaced’, having fallen asleep in front of the tele after lunch;  watching a Midsomer Murders' and missing the last half hour for the second time.    After a reviving cuppa, I’ll do a wee bit of gardening.


19.30   Spring must still be in the air.... why? .... because I did some more gardening this afternoon.    Not much but enough to have me feeling tired.  The bike never left ‘The Hutte’ today but the ‘Master Plan’ for tomorrow is to go out on the bike.   That reminds me.... I must put the phone on charge.

There’s a programme,  that starts at 19.30 on Channel 9,  called ‘The town that floored the world’:   Kirkcaldy.   I will make a hot chocolate and settle down to watch that.



21.30     .....

             For I ken mysel’ by the queer-like smell

             That the next stop’s Kirkcaldy!

.... the last two lines of the poem “The Boy in the Train” by M.C. Smith, perfectly describes the town of Kirkcaldy in its linoleum making hay day!  ..... and I enjoyed an

.... it's breakfast time!

interesting hour watching TV.

I suppose I’d better get ready for bed..... I want to be well rested for an active day tomorrow.    I’m thinking Balcarres Estate.

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 friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

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 lunch!   And it was a really good lun

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
