Misty with light rain ....

26th June 2024 (Wednesday)     09.45 .... I started my morning with a good old 'sleep in' ....


eventually waking up at 07.45.....  to find we have a a misty, with occasional spits and spots o' light rain, morning.  Not the bonniest of mornings but the sun should break through in the afternoon.

I must admit that I was apprehensive about the trip to Edinburgh yesterday;   going anywhere away from my comfort zone was always going to be tricky!   Now that I have done something 'bolder' than usual (with help and encouragement from Alice) it has made me feel almost adventurous.   Adventurous is good for morale.

22.45   Although I overslept this morning.... and expected to have a 'lazy day;  I've in fact had an active day.   The workmen were tidying up Ferry Road, having finished the job yesterday.... so I caught all the action on camera; including the transporter that came to take the equipment away.  I also did a bit of work in the garden.   Going to Edinburgh yesterday made me realise that I can do things ..... albeit slowly, and by taking the pain killing polls at the right time;  and bedtime is not one of the 'right' times.   


After the transporter went away, and Ferry Road was back to 'normal', I felt the need to do something other than mope.  I decided to so some 'ousework.  Iain and Hazel are coming down on Saturday; and I thought a spot of 'ooverin' and dustin' wouldn't go amiss.   I've just had  a thought....I'd best do some shopping tomorrow, because the 'Troops' will be here on Saturday.   That's the plan for tomorrow.... and I'll take time out to annoy Alice.



Tomorrow's weather forecast is 'good' .... but there's a chance of light showers in the afternoon.   I might do a washing before I go to Leven and Methil.  I didn't go out on the bike today.... I felt in a 'working' around  Ivy mood.   I feel much more positive after the train journey to Edinburgh with Alice. Lately I've tended to think "I can't do that", or I'd "better not do this".... but, after yesterday, I now know

that I can do it!.... as long as Alice is with me.   Must 'go'.... got the 'orlicks to make.

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...
