Bonnie morning ....

8th August 2022 (Monday)      07.00 ....There’s a nice fresh air about this


morning;  but that’s going to change by midday.  I’ve just hung out two of the biggest sheets ever on what is going to be a good drying day.   There’s drawer under the bed that’s fu’ o’ sheets n’ stuff.... so I’ll wash my way through that lot over the next few days.   Some of them are still in the original packet.    Happy me.   I’m having a cuppa before going round the Ferry;  I need to get out on the bike to see what’s ‘appening around the villages.

I need to get an ‘E14 blub’  (their spelling) for my bedside reading lamp .... which I’ll get when in Leven tomorrow.   That said I’m not sure if B n’ Q’s sell ‘blubs’.

09.30    I’ve been ‘roond The Ferry’ on the bike.... and can report that all is good in The Royal Burrow;  well it will be once I finish the de-mancaving.   The village is busy with work going on apace at the ‘Chapel Green House’ building site.... and ‘Four Winds’.  It (the work) will be going on apace at Ivy Cottage too ... after morning coffee.   It’s a lovely morning for doing stuff.


21.00    I’ve done a reasonable bit of ‘work’ today, but had to give up after lunch because it was too warm.   Actually I had a restless night, because it was too warm .... and I’m thinkin’ it’s going to be the same tonight.   I feel uncomfortably warm already.

Brian dropped in for a chat this morning so I am up to date with the ‘Croch’  (Arncroach) news.    There didn’t seem to be much ‘appening at Arncroach, but we chatted for an hour covering various subjects;  time always passes quickly when you’re enjoying yourself....  and it did.

When Brian left, to go and pick up Morven (she was golfing), I decided to put up the new

Part of the new 'Four Winds'.

shower curtain.  I am well chuffed with it.   It will be tested tomorrow morning.   With the shower curtain in place I then decided to go to ‘The Store’ for some retail therapy:  however, with rising prices there’s not much in the way of ‘feel good factor’.   All the extra money we’re paying has to end up in someone’s pocket.  It’s like WW1, or any war;  some folk become obscenely rich manufacturing the arms needed by the combatants on the frontline.    “It’s an ill wind etc”!  

We’re in for another nice day tomorrow.... though probably too hot for this boy.

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...
