Bonnie sunrise ....

 

3rd December 2021 (Friday)     09.30 .... it’s a tranquil morning;  even the


building works traffic (of which there’s a lot) seems quieter.   Mind you my hearing is a bit iffy so maybe that’s why it quiet.

I’ve been for the paper and to the harbour.   The harbour area was busy;  I chatted to Carol,  down there for her morning walk, then a ‘bucket cairt’ came down to turn... and it was followed by a car.   It was almost as busy as Ferry Road.  

My ‘plan’ is to check the car tyre pressures, have morning coffee, then go for a run in car.

16.00    I went out after lunch, but changed my mind about going to Gillingshill;  I decided that both Gillingshill and Balcarres Den would be muddy.  Instead I delivered some Christmas cards,.....  and had a blether with Moira, Brian and Morven (my Private Secretary) at ‘Erncroach’.     The plan was to have a walk on the beach when I got home..... but that plan changed after I fell asleep in front of the tele.    When I woke up the sky had clouded over, and  the walk to the beach was abandoned.    I had another cuppa.


19.00     I’ve had a good day;  in fact, at this late stage in the day, I actually feel frolicsome.   I’m going to put up the Christmas card strings after this update.   Oh that reminds me:  today I had a card handed in, from the Earlsferry Thistle Ladies, and I thought “that looks really braw”.   Then I realised that it was the photo that the ‘girls’ had asked my permission to use  ....‘for something’.   I’m really pleased with the way it has turned out.   Thank you Earlsferry Ladies for the card.... I’m a ‘very happy boy’ tonight.



21.30    Tomorrow is going to be spent writing Christmas cards mostly.... though I will take time out to have some exercise.   ‘Light cloud with a moderate breeze and sunny spells’ is the weather forecast.   And not very warm.

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...
