Nice, fresh morning ....

28th July 2024 (Sunday)    11.00 .... It's a bright and sunny morning, with a nice breeze so loads o'

fresh air.   I've been for the paper and down at the harbour.... and it was busy.   The tide was in at that time (08.20) and will be going out  now so there will be a big beach needing to be played on in the afternoon.   

The antibiotics are working, so that's a step in the right direction.   I seem to have been going in the wrong direction since I had the 'tummy bug'.

18.00    It has been a perfect summer's day.;  the villages have been busy, and imagine that the beach wold be mobbed.    It was a perfect day for the beach!.  I imagine that the beach would be mobbed.

What did I do?.... I went up to St Andrews Hospital because my 'pet' hernia was sair and Dr Francis told me that if is ever sore ....  see a Doctor.    So that I is what I did..... via NHS 24.   I've had the hernia for a long time; the pain was new, hence why I  did NHS 24.   It was all very interesting and ended with the decision that I had to see a Doctor.    By the time I'm finished with all this I should be perfect.    That would be a change.   This all started with aforementioned 'tummy bug'.


The Ferry is loaded with cars, and we've had the usual caravanettes looking for 'Elie' Caravan Park.  Why they came up with that name I cannot guess;  'Shell Bay' was better, less misleading......  and where I learned to swim!   

I get the feeling that this could be a hot and therefore restless night (that reminds me I need a new 'bedtime' book).    Mind you we badly need a decent spell of summer weather.... but with cooler nights.

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...
