Jabs ....

23rd October 2021 (Saturday)     08.30 .... Myra dropped me off just a few

Kinneuchar - yesterday.

minutes ago, having been to Anstruther for our ‘jabs’.:  the kettle is ‘on’ and I am well ready for breakfast.    Myra did invite me up for coffee, but I thought I’d better have breakfast before my morning caffeine fix.     

We arrive early at Anstruther, and were first in the queue;  in fact the door wasn’t ‘open’ when we got there (8 minutes early);  but it was a smooth running operation when we did get in..... I was 20 minutes before ‘my time slot’, but was taken straight away.     After the ‘jabs’ we had to sit for 15 minutes in case of anaphylactic shock.   Everyone gets bits of paper to read re the ‘jabs’ so I’ll make the coffee and see what the ‘rools’ say.

Kinneuchar.

17.30    Wellll .... I haven’t been out, other than for the jabs first thing this morning:   but I have worked in the kitchen, making ready meals for the freezer.   After lunch (chicken casserole) I felt tired, and hot, so lay down on top of the bed and fell sound asleep for a couple of hours;  now I feel fine.... but I won’t bother getting the bike out today.   The nurse did say, feeling feverish and tired were common side effects.   One of the other side effects is “you won’t feel like going out with a camera”.... I haven’t taken a photo today.... not even of that new ‘Thing’ I saw from the front gate.    I think it’s called a jack up platform.

I forgot... I did go out:  I took the car up to the Chemist to pick up a prescription, but didn’t go to the harbour, because the casserole was in the oven.  The ‘plan’ for the rest of the day?.... a bit of work on the computer and browse the tele channels, hoping to find something worth watching.

21.00    I was hoping to go for the paper on the bike tomorrow morrrrrrrning, but it


could be wet according the weather forecast .... ‘a chance of precipitation’ overnight and tomorrow morning.    Any dampness is going to slowly fade away by lunch time.... might have to have a late lunch.   This has been a quiet ‘rest day’: tomorrow will be much the same.   I plan to work on the computer,  and go out on the bike whenever the weather looks good.   I suppose that depends on how I feel (after the jabs);  so far I feel fine, and hope to be the same tomorrow.

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...
