Lovely, fresh morning .....

26th July 2024 (Friday)    08.45 .... We have a beautiful  morning .... and... there's a fresher feel to


the air  .... definitely a 'play day'.  I had a restless night due to it being overly warm;  didn't have a decent sleep until  about 04.00.   Then woke up at  06.00:  this could be another 'lazy' day.   

09.45    When I went to answer the doorbell  half an hour ago, I was surprised to find a Nurse (Philippa) at the door;   she was going to change the catheter.   The original 'plan' was to go to the Skeith Centre this afternoon.   Alice is coming (11.30 ish) ) bus.... and bringing lunch with her.   Must 'go' .... no... there's 'no Flap On' now;  have another cuppa Alber' my boy.   

22.30   I met Alice off the bus on what has been a nice day:  we didn't do anything because the anti-biotic pill has side effects.   The most annoying one is a sair heid;  so I wasn't the best company today.  The pill has an effect that I didn't expect;  is seems to be clearing the auld tubes.  Anyway I took Alice along to catch the bus for Leven:  I went back to Ivy and drank copious amounts of water..... and slept.


 I watched the Olympic Games opening ceremony;  it was a bit long for me, but I catnapped my way through it.  The red carpet made me think of the Oscar ceremony: The only difference being that Olympians deserve the 'red carpet' treatment, whereas, the egotistic people at the Oscar ceremony don't.   That's the Oscar ceremony sorted oot!

Pittenweem swimming pool....

20th September 2017 (Wednesday) ... 13.30    When I went along to Elie for the papers this morning, I got slightly diverted and ended up along at the old Pittenweem tidal swimming pool.  Pittenweem  swimming pool.    Unfortunately we have a, mostly overcast, with occasional spits and spots of rain, morning.     I must go back on a ‘bright and  sunny’ morning... this will show up the different colours of the sandstone rocks etc better.    It is an interesting spot, and would have been busy in the 1930’s , 40’s and 50’s.        20.30     My day has been spent pottering around Ivy... including baking a batch of wholemeal scones.    Note to self .... I must remember to freeze some of them this time;  rather than feed them to Blob and his pals.     It has been a grey and sometimes damp day;  not a day for bumbling about outside.    The ‘cold’ that I had last night didn’t come to anything.... I must have been tired after Solid infrastructure at Pittenweem swimming pool. my wand

Nice morning ....

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
