Bonnie morning ....


24th July 2022 (Sunday)    10.30 .... Light showers (possibly thundery) and a fresh breeze are mentioned in the weather forecast for KY9 today;  the thundery showers will be ‘later’...  I have a washing on the line!

‘Two Wheel Care’ (Pitscottie) has uplifted my trusty steed and is off to have a new tube and tyre fitted.   I shall be doing a ‘roond the villages’ tour in the next few days.  I think this is a good excuse ...oops.. reason, for a celebratory shot o’ caffeine.

12.00   ‘Maggie’ must have been down on the beach when I was at the harbour;  we have sandy footprints all over the living room carpet!    I’d better do some ooverin’.... and perhaps some dustin’.


We have a good drying day and the washing is almost ready dry:  I’ll get it in and on the ironing table soon.   Up to now I have been doing some ‘ousework and sittin’ in The Hutte doing a Sudoku and feeding two fledgling robins.  I’m hoping these two make it through to adulthood.   Feeding?.... that reminds me ‘Puku’ is feeling neglected.

20.30    There’s a heavy shower rattling its way across us just now... which is what was forecast for tonight:  they (the thundery showers) are to move away by morning leaving us with sunny spells and occasional spells light rain.

I’ve had an enjoyable day having had a mix of ‘ousework and watching the last Stage of Letour.   This year’s ‘Tour’ has been exciting and thrilling to watch.   A huge change from Team Sky days when viewing figures must have been low:     Even then I kept my eye on how the race was going, but only the last half hour or so of each Stage.  Viewing figures must have rocketed in the past couple of years.

I must be shaking off the after effects of the virus.... I am enjoying ‘ousework again!   I


might even clean the windows tomorrow;  since having the virus I’ve  only been clean the bottom sashes.   I’ll be staying around Ivy  tomorrow in case ‘Wheel Care’ bring the bike back;  which event will bring a quick end to the ‘ousework.

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...
