Lovely, but cool morning....

17th July 2024 (Wednesday)     10.00    After getting 'up' early to fire up the washing machine, then hang out a washing I had a

cuppa before loupin intae the car and going for the paper;  and I actually got it.   From the 'Paper Shop I went to the harbour (for the first time in a couple o' weeks).   It was cold down there... the harbour, being exposed, can be  cool but you expect to be warmer in July:  after all this is summer!    Stewart (Harbour Master) was chatting to the bloke levelling the car park .... and  I got a few photos before driving round to the Toft and taking a few more to 'play' with in the evening.


17.00  Having been 'at it' since 05.30,  I'm awfie tired but awfie happy;  I managed to get all the bedding and towels washed and dried!   Today was the kind of drying day' that I wanted.... and needed!   But it has been tiring.   Janet dropped by with a magnetic 'Appointments' calendar;  and I need it!   I'm most forgetful when tired;  fine in the morning and up until around 14.00 when I have to catnap on and off for the remainder of the day.   


The break, for lunch at lunch at the 19th with 'The Team', was very welcome....and enjoyable as ever.   I'd expected it to be busier, but it is the middle, and quietest time, of the week.
The air has been 'funny' today:  it was fine when I went for the paper but by 11.00 it was mauchless and I had to use the blue inhaler.   There must have been something in the air.  Anyway the mauchlessness  didn't stop me gettin on wi' the work.   

21.00    It has been a lovely, warm, albeit mauchless day;  the garden thermometer got up to 22C in the afternoon!   I actually thought of going out on the bike but decided it would be wiser to leave that for a few days.  Although kna... tired after a busy day, I am happy that bedding is done.   Michael and Janice (Sussex) are coming up on the 9th August so I have plenty time to tidy the bedroom and make up the bed.  Tomorrow is going to be a quiet day .... just pottering around with the camera.   Having said that, It all depends on what the weather is doing:  the weather forecast has us down for light showers and
sunny spells.  Up to now the summer weather has been disappointing; in fact at 07.00 this morning it felt more like an Autumn morning.
However it's a bonnie evening;  the urge to take the bike out is strong.  Luckily the urge to have a cuppa is stronger!

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...
