Lovely morning .....

13th June 2024 (Thursday)     09.00 .... After a good nights sleep, and long a hot shower this


morning, I'm feeling almost 'playful';  and a quiet start to what is going to be (for me) a 'rest day'.   'The Team' are going to the 19th for lunch and, after the activities yesterday, wandering round to the 19th will be my exercise for today.

We have a bonnie morning, though there is cloud around and 'light rain' is coming our way later.   I'm glad we got the front of Ivy emulsioned yesterday.  The rhones have to be glossed and the windows painted;  but I'll do that at a more leisurely pace.

21.30   As it was a beautiful morning, and I was feeling almost frisky, I had a short walk up to the golf course to stretch my legs.  The course is looking good and there were a few golfers enjoying it .... the balmy morning.   I photographed my way home by way of Rotten Row.   By the time I'd sorted out the photographs I'd taken it was almost time to get ready to go to the 19th for lunch.   'JB' decided to skip lunch at the 19th and walk out to the East Links with the camera;  which was a successful mission with some crackin' photographs for me to play with.   Our lunch at the 19th was excellent, with good food, company and loads of laughs.  Very enjoyable.

I've come to the conclusion that I have a reaction from the COVID jab I had on Tuesday; an 'under the weather' feeling that's bothersome.   I'll take a couple of pills with the 'orlicks and get off to bed early.   I 'plan' to be at the unveiling of Jim Robertson's Memorial bench at the Toll Green tomorrow at 11.00.   Thundery showers are forecast;  we can only hope that they miss us.

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...
