Feeling playful ....

15th August 2023 (Tuesday)      10.30 .... All was quiet when I went for the


paper this morning;   which reminded me that this is a ‘rest day’.   I picked up the paper, found out that this is Tuesday and  the ‘girls’ are golfing, then came home by way of Elie Estate.   I’ll have morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee at Chapel Green with ‘The Boss;   see if the girls are at the tenth green (I like the cliffs in the background of golf photographs), take a few photographs, then come home for lunch.



16.00  Chapel Green was busy with holiday makers and Coastal Path walkers;  and the girls (golfers) had reached the  tenth green.  There was a bonnie ‘light’ about, I spent a relaxing 45 minutes having coffee and taking a few photos from various viewpoints.   Back at Ivy I had a ‘lite bite’ lunch, followed by a longish catnap.... before going out to The Hutte to ‘work’.


21.00    I’ve been looking at tomorrow’s weather forecast and it looks like it could be another ‘play/work’ day;  more play than work being the ‘plan’....   much the same as today in fact.  I had planned to do some ‘ousework today but managed to find other, more important, things to do.   

This was the last day of the school summer holidays in Scotland;  after a summer wheen the summer weather has been a bit ... well not very summery at times.  I’ll never understand how our summer begins on Midsummer Day;  to my mind summer must have begun six weeks before Midsummer Day.... and  must end six weeks after Midsummer Day.   Anyway...'official Autumn' begins on the 1st of September ....but birds have already begun migrating south.   I’ve come to the conclusion that the ‘nasty pagans’ had the right idea when they worshiped the sun and the seasons.

I was going to moan aboot something but I’ve forgotten what it was; I have no doubt it’ll


come back to me.  In the meantime I’m going to switch the kettle ‘on’; that’s always a good idea.

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...
