Bonnie mornin' .....

 29th May 2023 (Monday)    10.30 ....  I enjoyed the paper run this morning; 

'Hermione' with the troops in tow. 

the weather was (and still is) perfect with a bonnie early morning light for the camera.... with photographs jumpin’ out at me all the way round.    And I remembered to pick up the paper.     We have one happy boy at Ivy.... who is now  ready for morrrrrrrrning coffee before doing any ‘work’.   Enjoy you day....actually it’s a  it’s a ‘play’ day.  I might leave the ‘work’ until later.


19.38   (That was a good year)    I could get used to this kind of weather.... even with the East wind.   Apart from falling asleep in The Hutte for half an hour, I’ve had a busy and enjoyable day.   I cut down a Pendulous Sedge that I want rid of... and will have a go at uprooting the roots tomorrow.   Actually it’s hard to believe how Pendulous Sedge came into the garden but I am going to well you anyway.   The only place I have seen this sedge, in recent years, is at the Balcarres Sawmill pond.... and I can only think that O picked up

some of the tiny seeds on my feet and they took root in the garden.   It only takes one plant to seed and grow and they spread all over the place in ‘nae time’.  I think it would be about seven years ago that I noticed the first plant .... and let it grow because they do look bonnie.   The ‘flower stems’ look like fishing rods, with the seed head dangling at the tip: when the wind blows they wave around and scatter the seeds.   And they spread.   Anyway I think I have just got rid of the last one.



21.30   I seem to have been active all day today; gardening, ‘ousework and drawing.  There was ‘time out’ when I read the paper and fell asleep in the afternoon;  but I feel happy and content with today’s efforts.

Tomorrow I’m looking forward to visiting and having lunch at Alice’s; tomorrow is going


to be a ‘relax and rest’ day. ‘Sunny with a moderate breeze’ is the weather forecast; it will be an excellent drying day and I don’t have anything in the machine.  We are coming into a reasonable spell of settled weather.... the only problem being the Easterly wind direction.... and even an East wind shouldn’t be much of a problem with light winds and a sunny 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 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...
