Lovely morning ......

23rd May 2023 (Tuesday)    09.00 .... I’ve been for the paper (and got it) and


down to the harbour, on the bike.   It’s a cracker’ o’ a mornin’;  we have a good weather forecast for KY9; ‘sunny intervals with a gentle breeze (W) and precipitation is not expected’.... it is a ‘play’ day.   And there’s abig beach just now (the tide is going out).

I’m going to Methil to annoy Alice (and look at old maps of Buckhaven Harbour);  after that the ‘plan’ is to go to the Bargain Store for some retail therapy.    


19.00    My word....this has been a bonnie day and a busy one.   The weather has been perfect .... apparently this is the first of a number of ‘perfect’ summer like days;  so let’s enjoy them.


As planned I went to Methil to Alice’s, where we had a cuppa before going to the ‘Bargain Store’ (the ‘Cheap Shop’....‘cheap’ as in the name of the store ... ‘Bargain’).   We did our shopping then went back to Alice’s for a blether.... in her (tidy) garden.   I mention ‘tidy’ because Ivy garden isn’t.   Tidy i.e.   It was very agreeable sitting chatting;  sort of in an ‘auld fashioned’ kind of way.

After a bowl of soup followed by cake and another cuppa I bumbled my way back home.    Myra and David came down the road as I was taking stuff (my retail therapy) into Ivy so I chatted to them, and we had a look at the works in the back garden.   Myra and David went off home to take Rosie for a walk round the Chapel;  I put the kettle ‘on’ and was asleep in front of the tele in ‘nae time’.   I must have been tired cos I slept for an hour and a half.

I had thought of going out on the bike again but decided against that as I am in drawing mode.   The kettle is ‘on’ and I’ll take a cuppa out to the Hutte.   Actually I had a migraine earlier so I’ll take a couple migraine pills.

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...
