Lovely day ....

14th January 2022 (Friday)     11.00 .... The day began with a bonnie sunrise,


and it is now a bonnie day.    I had walk on the beach for sunrise, then went to the shop to get the paper.... and the baker for bread.   From there I went to the harbour, then back up to Elie in time for the beginning of the ‘Kirk walk’.    The walks are a brilliant idea to get folk up and out, for a breath of fresh air, and a half hour, (or so) stroll round one of three villages.  The walks are on Monday, Wednesday and Friday starting at 10.00;  Monday is Kinneuchar, Wednesday St Monans and Friday Elie.  The walks are a great way of meeting people to have a chat:  “Thank You” Rev Douglas (Creighton) for our friendly chatty walks.   Having said that I didn’t go on today’s walk because my breathing was bad on the first two, and I thought today would be the same.   Strangely enough my breathing was perfect this morning;  the same as everyone else’s, until I arrived at the shops and the traffic;  when the tubes tightened up instantly. 

16.00    The sky clouded over after lunch, and it became ‘raw cauld’ so I never ‘out to play’.   I enjoyed my trip up to Elie in the morning but decided to stay around Ivy, pottering around the garden:  I didn’t do very much physical work but did a lot of dreamin’.   Oh ... and I fell asleep watching the ‘News’.   It has been a restful day;  and I think it's time for the kettle.



22.00    I’ve had a strange kind of day; and it has ended with a migraine so tomorrow is going to be a ‘rest day’.   I’ve just been looking at the photos of the ‘kirk walk’ and noticed that Irene was on today’s walk;  imagine not noticing Irene.   I am a silly boy.   I have ordered a pair of walking shoes, with cushioned soles and Hydropel Technology (probably keeps water out).   They are on their way and should be delivered in time for the next St Monans walk.

Well... I’ve had my chocolate and am ready for bed.   I should sleep well as I’ve had a couple of pills.    No plan for tomorrow.... other than it’s a ‘rest day’.   The weather for tomorrow is more or less a re-run of today’s weather;  but Sunday and Monday look like being sunny;  and good drying days.

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

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 time to spare   Janice was dropped off near a shopping centre, and Michael went wi
