Bonnie morrrrrrrrrrrrning....

2nd January 2024 (Tuesday)    09.15 .... my word... I didn't get out of bed until 07.45.... that's a


proper 'sleep in' for me:  Anyway I'm vertical, and 'Blob' had had his morning snack;  on what is a bonnie morning, after a a fair amount of overnight rain by the look of things.   I've showered and had breakfast now I'd better switch into 'slight flap on' and get the kettle 'on'..... again.

18.30    'Meals on Wheels'.... (Alice and Izzy) arrived as planned.  Izzy transformed the 'man cave kitchen' and produced a three course meal, that brought the Festive Season to a very tasty end.   I didn't hear the girls coming in (note to me.... remember to get batteries for the door bell).  Izzy brought everything (except Alice) in a hamper.... Of course it was a three way effort;   Izzy produced the food then the three of us ate it.  Thanks girls.... I really enjoyed both food and company xx.

22.30     'Mr Bates v The Post Office' series (4 episodes) is one of the most interesting television programmes I have ever watched.   I'm looking forward to episode 3 tomorrow evening.... and I am not a great fan of the TV;  television, like the computer, are great inventions being misused.  


I've had a great day;  the perfect way to end the festive season: and .... there's only 357 days till next Christmas;  add on another 7 or 8 and we'll be we celebrating the end of the next Festive season.  Happy days.   Yes I did enjoy today.

Tomorrow I start my 'plan' system for the year;  tomorrow is going to be another 'rest' day... mostly working on the computer with the odd flurry of activity when I put the kettle on.

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
