Bonnie mornin'....

15th April 2023 (Saturday)   08.00 .... Fantastic morning for going out to


‘play’;  wall to wall blue sky with only a light breeze.   I imagine this should bring  paddle board ‘walkers’ out on the bay.... that's a relaxing looking way to potter around in the water.   I'm feeling 'bright eyed and bushy tailed' after an unbroken nights sleep: I’d go out on the bike but the villages are busy.... and I have ousework to do.   Must go ‘slight flap on’ ....I haven’t had a cuppa yet.  

20.45    It has been a beautiful day... and, in spite of there being a cool easterly breeze off the sea, I enjoyed my ‘today’.    As per plan I met Alice off the bus at Elie and then went straight to Anstruther hoping to get my COVID booster over and done with.   Well.... this has been the most enjoyable ‘jab’ I have ever had.   We were welcomed with open arms and happy smiling faces when we arrived at the venue (The East Neuk Centre, Ladywalk, Anstruther) at 11.00:  I told the lassie at the desk that my designated time was 15.39 would it be OK to be taken early.   “No problem” was the answer and I was clocked in.   The lassie then turned to Alice and asked what her appointed time was;  Alice replied “Oh I’m not due for another few days and that’s at the Randolph Wemyss”    “Would you like to be done now” asked the lassie, and Alice replied “if that’s no problem .... yes, I’d be happy to have my jab today”.   Alice was booked ‘in’ and we


went into the Main Hall where it was all happening.   I could see the Nurses eyes light up with joy when we wandered in.   Five minutes later we were done and dusted and waiting the mandatory 15 minutes before I could drive.    George (Gordon) was there so we chatted for the allotted time then went to the harbour car park to get a few photos on what was a really nice day;  there was nae wind so it was warm in the sun.   We were back at Ivy before midday having a cuppa and one of Alice’s homemade, melt in the mouth, Empire Biscuits.   (We might have lost the Empire but we still have the biscuits).   That was shortly followed by a bowl of soup.... after which we adjourned to The Hutte to have afternoon coffee and a chat.   We did think of going to the beach but the cool breeze off the water did not agree with my asthma so we had another cuppa before I took Alice to Elie to catch the X60 bus to Leven.

 Alice’s company, the ‘jab’ experience and the weather made this one enjoyable day.  I


have no side effects from the ‘jab’.... not even a sore arm, so far; mind you it’s usually the next day before I feel tired and have a headache.

Nae plan for tomorrow other than go for the paper and have a quiet ‘rest 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 friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

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 lunch!   And it was a really good lun

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
