Wet....

2nd April 2024 (Tuesday)    21.00    I tried to upload a video onto 'The Hutte' and lost everything

I'd already written;  this is a short update, to let you know that all is well again at Ivy.   I eventually got out in the car and went to Methil to visit Alice.... and enjoyed lunch with Alice and her nephew Lucas.   
We took time out from catching up with all the Methil and Buckhaven news (Lucas lives in Buckhaven) to pick up our watches that had been 'in' getting new batteries fitted.
The car is now 'moored up' in the disabled parking bay a the 'Toon Hall';  not the best place in wet weather but I shouldn't get blocked in there.  
 Everything appears to be working as it should again... but I won't upload the video until tomorrow.... when I find out  where I went wrong'.   The video is of the journey by car, from Lundin Links to Elie Harbour.   At the harbour Jimmy's car (as it was then) is moored up at the Sailing Club.... where we would be having morning coffee.   

This has been a stressful weekend for me and it will take a few more days for me to unwind and relax completely;   however 'all's well that ends well'.... and it has ended well!   I'm a 'happy boy'.
I've just noticed an 'Insert Video' button among the buttons above so I'll have another go at uploading the video tomorrow.   The link was sent to me by Les, a friend in Australia!   It's a brilliant video... as you 'might' see when I have another go at uploading it 'ra morra'.   I'm too tired to do it tonight.  Orf to make the Horlicks!

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...
