13th June 2022 (Monday)    08.30 .... We have a beautiful morning, .... but it’s


not as warm as it could be at this time of year;   but it was enjoyable bumbling around the boats.  The forecast for our area is, ‘light cloud with a moderate breeze’, a good day for me working outside The Hutte;  and drinking cuppas inside The Hutte.   Yes that’s the ‘plan’.




20.30    My word.... the ‘boy’ (that’s me) has been busy:  the legs, and underside of the ‘RC’ table have had their first coat of paint .... and is it going to look ‘romantic’.   Bright poppy red;  it had to be ‘Poppy Red’ ‘cos that was the only colour (in the shed) that I fancied.   I might get some bright yellow for the centre of the table top.   I don’t know about it being ‘romantic’;  but it will attract butterflies.   I’m pleased with today’s progress....and I’ll take a photo once the table is ‘on site’.   And that’s all I have been doing today.... pottering around with the table.


The wind has been cool today..... in fact we had a few spits and spots o’ rain but not enough to stop me working.  (Sunny Sussex was 10 degrees warmer).  I must try to get to the beach sometime:  since having that virus, walking to and from the beach can only be done on a ‘good’ day.... though I can get onto the beach at the harbour.  






21.30   Painting the top of the table with ‘Blob’ liable to land on it has been solved;  I’ll paint it inside The Hutte.... and ban ‘Blob’ from The Hutte until the table is dry.   He, and wife and bairns won’t like that but it’s better than landing on wet paint.   One of the bairns got disorientated inside The Hutte this afternoon and was flapping up and down

one of the windows.   I put my hand over towards him, he landed on the pointing finger and I took him over to the door and off he flew.  He was back five minutes later looking for digestive crumbs.   

I’m orf to make the bedtime chocolate;  I don’t suppose there’s anything on the tele but I’ll have a browse.

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...
