Dreich morning ....

14th October 2022 (Friday)    08.00 ....Hmmmm .... it’s not a


morrrrrrrrning for going out; in fact, when I looked out my first instinct  was to go back to bed....however I’m ‘up’ and running moving around, but not with much enthusiasm.   It’s a dreich start to the day, but we can look forward to ‘light showers and sunny spells’ by ‘morrrrrning coffee’ time;  that's when I’ll go for the paper (probably in the car).   ‘Blob’ has been fed so it’s now my turn.

22.00    The ‘Team’ (Myra, Kirsty, Geoff and me) enjoyed lunch, and a good old natter, today in the 19th today.... a regular outing.   I had been ‘flapping about like a heidless chicken’ in the morning, because I got it intae my heid that this was a ‘Team’ birthday dinner.   However it wasn’t ... the next birthday is Myra’s at the beginning of December;  I found that out when I went to ‘arbour ‘ouse to buy a present... Laura is a mine of information!  I bought a coffee to settle my nerves, then went to the bus shelter to drink it... where I met Dod.   After chatting to Dod for a while I went back to Ivy and got ready for the 19th.


Back at Ivy I settled down in The Hutte, with Blob, to do a Sudoku.   As per normal I fell asleep, woke up and did a couple of Sudoku’s... before doing some ‘ousework.   I’ve been a busy boy.   ‘Busy’ could be a slight exaggeration!

There was an interesting sky at sunset time so I had a walk to the beach;  it wasn’t spectacular but bonnie in a peaceful way;  I sat on Nana’s seat and ‘fell apart’.   The tide was in so there was only a wee beach;  but there was a few people out walking the tides edge.

Slight moan (to make me feel better)   ‘Filter down economics’, giving money to the rich who don’t need it, (and only widens the gap between rich and poor), doesn't work;   we actually need ‘filter up’ economics where we give money to the people that need it, and will spend it, to buy


food etc.   There you are ... I feel better now.    Slight moan over.

I’m thinkin’ we might have a good drying day tomorrow;  I have a decent load of washing that I’ll do first thing.

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...
