Bright and breezy ....

5th July 2023 (Wednesday)     “Happy Birthday” to ‘The Boss’ (Maggie) who would have been 82 today....   If the weather is agreeable ‘we’ will have afternoon coffee at Chapel Green.

08.15    It’s ‘bright breezy’ just now but light showers are mentioned in the weather

Grange Road houses.

forecast for KY9.   There’s a 50/50 mix of blue sky and clouds at the moment.... and I have a washing to hang out;  however an extra rinse won’t do  washing any harm if a ‘light shower’ does come our way.  

19.45   We had the kind of ‘light shower’ day that I like;  shower clouds to photograph but no showers.   And my washing dried so I’m a happy boy.

Theresa (Alice’s daughter), wanted to borrow an easel so I took that along to Alice.... and enjoyed coffee, lunch and an interesting  morning chatting, with Alice, Theresa and Lucas (Alice’s grandson).  An enjoyable morning passed in ‘nae time’....and we each went our separate ways.  I was back at Ivy by 14.00  and ‘resting’ in front of the tele by 14.20.   At 15.00, the weather being extremely agreeable, I made a mug o’ coffee and went up to Chapel Green to


celebrate the Boss’s birthday.   It was good seeing Chapel Green being for various activities.... including one very fit family (from South Africa)’: I felt quite ‘jealous’ then remembered that I’d been very fit too, up until a few years ago:  so I sat back and enjoyed watching all the activity.   Maggie would have been happy  seeing Chapel Green being ‘alive’ with happy people.   By this time I remembered that I hadn’t done any ‘ousework; and I went back home and did a bit of ooverin’ and dustin’.

22.30    It has been a lovely day and I have enjoyed it.... and tomorrow is forecast to be


sunny in the morning with cloud moving across in the afternoon;  it should be  a nice enough day.   I’ll go for the paper early in the morning then have a quiet day drawing and watching Stage 6 of ‘le Tour’ now and again.

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...
