Peaceful morrrrning ....

14th June 2022 (Tuesday)    10.45 ....After breakfast I went to B n’ Q’s (Leven)


to buy yellow gloss paint:  not much choice in the gloss line (mostly pastel shades) so I ended up buy ‘Marigold’ spray paint.     I don’t know how it will do but it dries fast so the ‘Blob’ problem is well taken care of.    The roads were busy.

The sun is trying hard to burn off the cloud so I am going to have another cuppa, then paint the underside of the table.   It’s warmer today .... and not before time.

20.30    I had a proper look in the shed and found a 250 ml tin of ‘Canary Yellow’ gloss paint; this is normal with me.   I have a tin of ‘Marigold’ spray paint;  now I’m looking for something to spray.   The table is starting to look the way I want it;  it should near enough be finished tomorrow.    I’d best get a couple of chairs organised for the corner;  perhaps a bench would be better.    I’ll see how it looks once I get the table on site.


It has been a good day for pottering about with paint:  actual painting isn’t strenuous.... the preparation can be.

I made a batch of ‘Cottage Pies’ for the freezer in the afternoon;  so I’m slightly tired tonight.... but it’s a bonnie evening;  I might just have a run out in the car after this update.... and after a cuppa.

21.45    I’ve had a look at the weather forecast for tomorrow and it looks like we going to have a nice day.  I’ll get another coat on the table top,  then go to the ‘istory Society coffee ‘get thegither’ at the ‘Pav’.   Also, I think tomorrow could be the Colinsburgh ‘Lite Bite’ Lunch;  if it is I won’t have to bother about making lunch.

It’s a really quiet evening;  I’d go down to the beach but I’m feeling tired and mair ready


for bed, than going out.    I’ll make the chocolate and get orf to bed:  well content after a busy day.

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...
