Lovely, quiet morrrrrrrrning ....

24th March 2022 (Thursday)     08.00 .... A big “Thank You” to everyone


who made my birthday one to remember (even though I’m trying to forget birthdays);  I had a very enjoyable day and feel ‘loved’.... and I love you all. xxx

There’s a bit mair cloud around this morning....but it’s interesting cloud, and has to be photographed, but not until after breakfast.... when the air will be warmer.   It’s actually chilly just now: And I’m hungry... and so is ‘Blob’.

The ‘plan’ for today?..... it’s going to be another rest/play day.... though I will potter about around The Hutte.    I see that the pollution levels are at ‘M’ at last;   any asthmatic living near the East Coast could have told them that.... days ago.   Must ‘go’... slight flap on;   Jean is coming to pick up a key;  I’m orf to comb my hair..... oops... I'm orf to put the kettle ‘on’.


21.00    It’s been another cracker o’ a day;  sunny and ‘hot’;  there was a light breeze that took the edge off hot.  I went up to Chapel Green after Jean came for the key.  Combing my hair was a waste of time;  I was wearing a woollie hat when Jean turned up for the key.  Oh .... I worked with Jean’s Dad on a building site in Glenrothes.

The ‘broon’ bucket, with my clematis in it, is being emptied tomorrow.... which is a surprise.  The ‘broon’ bucket was emptied last week; I didn’t expect it to be emptied for at least another week.   I’m assuming this is because Easter is coming up and they expect to be busy over the Easter period.   Anyway I’ve got rid of the clematis.... so I’m a happy boy.   It spread faster than ivy.... and it’s fast!   

I wanted to discharge the bike battery completely, so took another trip up to Chapel


Green later in the afternoon;  I had planned to go to Lundar Law but someone was already there; so I went and spent a relaxing half hour  on one of the seats overlooking Elie Bay.  On the way home the bike battery went to zero, just as I passed the 19th.... and is now fully charged ready for tomorrow and Saturday.

I have George’s ‘Celebration of Life’ service tomorrow afternoon in the Caledonian Hotel (Leven).   This will be a sad time for me;  George was the best, and craziest, painter friend I ever had:  ye Gods we had some laughs together.   The memories remain to cheer me up.

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
