Diamond Wedding Anniversary ....

9th September 2021 (Thursday)     08.30 .... Today is the Diamond


Anniversary of one of the (if not ‘the’) best days of my life;  the day I married Maggie.  I will have celebratory cake and a toast at Chapel Green sometime today.... assuming the weather is okay.    There’s a reasonable chance of light rain showers.    ‘JB’ and I will celebrate after dinner.... with ‘After Dinner Mints’.    I see that the wind has backed to the East again, however, although it is cloudy it is a nice morning, but cooler than the past few days. 

I feel frisky this mornin’.... which is surprising;   I expected my muscles to be stiff after all the work I did yesterday.     Must ‘go’ .... slight ‘flap on’ today;  got the back panels to cut down and fit on the cupboard before putting it back in the boiler cupboard.

10.30    Well the ‘chance of light rain showers’ turned out to be nearly right;  the showers we’ve just has wisnae ‘light’ and it lasted for nigh on half an hour.... so nae morning coffee at Chapel Green.    ‘JB’ would have had ‘After Dinner Mints’ after dinner.... except I forgot to buy ADM’s (I’ve been to ‘The Store’) so we’ll have to find something else.    Pittenweem Road, the one going into Anstruther is being re-surfaced (long overdue) so, temporary traffic lights/Convoy system is in operation.    I came home by the ‘back road’.


23.00    ‘JB’ arrived about 17.30 after an uneventful journey with the only rainy period being on the Biggar road.     Although it has been overcast and dull most of the day here,  the rain sort of faded away by lunch time, and it has been dry and warm since.... a better description would be ‘muggy’.  

‘JB’ and I had a walk to the beach after dinner.... it was dull but there was a bonnie ‘light’ about;  you could see the dark ‘heavy rain clouds’ way down towards the Borders.    We didn’t have the beach to ourselves; there were a couple of dog walkers, someone having an evening swim, and a couple walking hand in hand.... I liked that, in fact I felt quite envious.

‘JB’ and I are going to Kirkcaldy tomorrow morning, then along to Ardross in the afternoon to buy some ready meals.   I’ll go for the paper first thing then put the bike on charge.   ‘JB’ can use ‘Grannie’s bike, and we’ll have a bumble through Elie Estate sometime.

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
