Lovely morning ...

9th November 2023 (Thursday)   08.30.... It's a bright and breezy morning;  perfect morning for


being out early for a walk... or on the bike.   This is 'jab' day for me (Randolph Wemyss 14.22);  so I will get back on the bike soon.   This morning I'm going to visit Alice, who lives not far from the Randolph Wemyss, before going for the 'jabs'.  'You will be interest to know that 'Port Servicer' is chugging her way across Largo Bay making for Elie.  I'm going to have breakfast.

20.00   The 'Randolph Wemyss' Waiting Room was full of Elie and Earlsferry folk that had been vaccinated and were waiting the regulation time before making for their transport to go home.   Alice and I met Marcia coming out.  When I got back home I found a message on the answer machine from Marcia, telling me that she was going to be at the Randolph Wemyss;  however I was doing a wee bit o' shopping (fruit that I forgot yesterday) before meeting Alice then going for the jab.   I was in Leven when Marcia phoned, so missed her phone call.   Sorry aboot that Marcia and "Thank You" for phoning.   Actually I didn't realise there was some kind o' system for the jabs, with groups of people from one area, going to Vaccine Centres at the same time.   I thought it was totally random.   Apologies to whoever does organise the Vaccination Centres; it actually, in my case, works.


Anyway the 'jab' session with Nurse Carole was a dawdle.  'Carole' looked at my muscles and said "they looked like the should be on a 35 year old";  I said "hey had been on a 35 year old 50 years ago".   So far, apart from being sleepy (nothing new there) I feel fine.   I'll take a couple o' Paracetemol with my bedtime drink and have an early night.

The stonemason's have made really amazing progress; I thought that the 'stone cladding' would take a couple o' months, but it looks like it could be done by Christmas.... assuming the weather is good.... which it is going to be tomorrow.

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 friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

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 lunch!   And it was a really good lun

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
