Wall to wall bloo sky ....

19th April 2023 (Wednesday)   07.00.... We have ‘wall to wall bloo sky, with a

'Saipem 7000'.

moderate wind from the East out in the Firth (Saipem 7000) just now.... a bonnie morning but cool in the easterly wind.   I might go for a short run up to Chapel Green (to flatten the bike battery) once the air warms up around about morning coffee time.   In fact I might take the coffee with me.   

09.00    ‘The Boy’ (that’s me) has been busy;  I’ve been for the paper(s) and hung out a washing.  Though still feeling slightly under the weather, I’m feeling brighter; and hoping that the side effects from the booster jab are past.  We have one ‘almost playful’ boy this morrrrrrning.  

15.30    I’ve been up at Kinneuchar kirk, sorting out the family burial places that have been attached to the remains of the old kirk,  since the Reformation.  All this is keeping the brain active. 


The ‘almost playful’ feeling evaporated fairly rapidly and I feel that the ‘jab’ has kicked in;  as it has done every time.   I had hoped to be frolicking aboot like new born lamb tomorrow....but ‘frolicking’ might not happen for another couple o’ days.   And .... I pranged a finger with the car door this morning:  that woke me up I can tell you.  I was surprised to find that my blood isn’t ‘bloo’.   I mean... come on .... this is "The Royal Burgh"!




21.00   I’ve been reasonably active today....and we’ve had ‘wall to wall’ sun most of the time;  in fact I don’t remember seeing a single cloud.  However I did doze off in The Hutte and probably missed the one cloud that did pass over.   The workmen have been busy next door;  a concrete delivery arrived and they were busy getting that poured.   It’s all very interesting.... and brings back happy memories.  It’s good watching an efficient ‘team’ at work.

My ‘work’(Kinneuchar kirk) continues.   The only reason I’m doing it is because the


remains of the pre Reformation irk my mind and I need to explain them to myself.   I’ll put a page up on the Hutte once I’m done.   That could be a wee while.   I’m kinda thinking I should have done the drawing on the computer instead of on paper;  but paper is how I was taught and it’s relaxing.   I’m happy... in spite of the booster jab bothering me.   ‘Slight Flap on’.... need to make the bedtime chocolate.

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...
