Nice, fresh morning ....

18th June 2023 (Sunday)      07.00 .... we don’t have a wall to wall blue sky but

Creel boat
we do have a sunny and warm morning;  with a cooling onshore breeze.    There’s definitely a better air around and this has me feeling .... sort of mischievous;  an ‘Alice tormenting’ mood.     

08.30   The Sunday Post has been uplifted and the harbour visited, on what is a really nice fresh morning.  The washing is on the line, I’ve had breakfast;  now I’m ready to torment Alice.... after another cuppa.

19.45    We’ve been lucky with the weather compared to many places south of ra border that have had thunder storms and heavy rain:  having said that, rain is much needed and very welcome;  well .... perhaps not ‘very welcome’, but definitely much needed!  The heavy rain is forecast to come our way overnight and tomorrow morning.

Alice and I had a ‘happy day’;  we like ‘happy’.    We went to Sainsbury’s  where I did my wee bit shopping... and Alice got rid of a load of brown money by pouring it into a machine that counted it (by weight I imagine) and gave you a receipt, which you take to the cash desk and end up with bigger denomination and usable money.   I have tins of ‘broon’ money that I should convert.

Chapel Green houses.
Back at Alice’s residential HQ Alice set about making lunch;  I hadn’t intended staying for lunch but to be honest it mair enjoyable eating together... than as a single at home.   Furthermore, Alice is an excellent cook.  We had a chicken salad for ‘main’ followed by.... what Alice called a ‘concoction’ for sweet.... it was a melt in the mouth ‘Alice Mess’;  much the same as an Eton Mess only tastier.   You can imagine why I enjoy ‘tormenting’ Alice.  I arrived back at Ivy with a content ‘puku’;  well ready for my afternoon siesta watching the tele.

The sky has been clouding over for the past few hours but so far no rain:  I am sure we will have our share by tomorrow morning.

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...
