Lovely morrrrrrning .....

13th October 2022 (Thursday)     08.30 .... It’s a beautiful start to what is

..... this one is for Honor!

going to be a sunny day.... albeit cool.   For some unknown reason I slept ‘in’ this morning so haven’t been out anywhere.   Anyway the ‘plan’ is to line two drawing boards and to do that I need the paste table.   I shall ‘play’ and have fun around Ivy today.... and maybe even take time out, on the bike, in the afternoon.   

We have the ‘Drop In Cafe’ in Elie Kirk Hall this afternoon and there’s going to be a presentation from Age Scotland on ‘How to Heat your Home for less’.   So... a cuppa, a friendly blether and advice on how to stay warm .... it should be a fun afternoon.  


20.00    The ‘Age Scotland’ presentation was interesting and informative;  it’s a pity I missed the first 30 minutes of it, having arrived late I only heard the last 15 minutes.... however, I had ‘joined’ Age Scotland’  a while ago (online) and was up to date with the latest info.    I chatted my way round the hall and came out with a room temperature thingy and a pen.   A very pleasant afternoon ... and there was a ‘full house’!    Why was I late in getting to the hall?.... I’d fallen asleep in the Hutte.

The two ‘drawing boards’ I intended lining aren’t plywood as I thought they were, so I’ll have to buy a couple.  However the day wasn’t a complete loss;  Alistair (Balvonie) rescued the apples that were on the tree;  before the blackbird pecked holes in them.   They’re not the tastiest of eating apples but they make good Eve’s Pudding!

I didn’t go out on the bike today, but did have a walk to the beach via the golf course and


Siward Lane.    The was a good number of people scattered all along the beach so there we must still be getting visitors, and from all over the UK going by the registration letter on the cars;  mind you that doesn’t mean that the occupants actually come from Birmingham (or wherever).... only where the actual vehicle was registered when new.

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...
