Beautiful autumnal morrrrrrrrrrning ....

21st August 2024 (Wednesday)     09.00 .... We have a lovely autumnal start to Wednesday;  but


the KY9 the weather forecast mentions strong winds and rain in the afternoon.  Before that happens,  I might have a wander up to the seat at the 17 th to get a few photos for the blog.   Right now it's breakfast time.   Oh.... I'm feeling much brighter toady, and definitely not as tired as yesterday;  yesterday was something else as far as being tired went.   I really think that my brain was overloaded with all the info!   Anyway I'm feeling better today and should be back to near enough 'normal' tomorrow.  

19.00    Although we have had rain it hasn't stopped the 'troops' working on the garden;  weather permitting the plan is to finish off and tidy up tomorrow.   I am very happy with the patio.... and the handrail (I need a handrail nowadays).    I missed the 'troops' when they finished next door went off to work somewhere else.... and I'll miss them again when they finish tomorrow.   Gerry ('Rural Developments') said at the start of the job (as did the Architect) that they would reinstate the garden.... and this they most certainly have done.   Plus.... I had the bonus of chatting to the 'troops'  .... yes I am a very happy boy.   Thank you Gerry and the the 'team'!    I'll be 'lonely' again after tomorrow ..... but I have loads of photographs to browse over.   I'll put up a couple of photos of the finished patio etc. tomorrow!   I'm sure you will like it.


22.00    It was spittin' rain when I was oot at the bucket a few minutes ago... and there's a bit of a breeze:   however I think the rain is forecast to move away by dawn to leave us with showers;  and sunny spells!    Tomorrow will be another quiet day;  and I won't need to bother about food as we're having lunch at the 19th.   I am chuffed tae bits with the new garden.... and looking forward to the weather improving so that I can have morrrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee outside!

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 friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

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

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 time to spare   Janice was dropped off near a shopping centre, and Michael went wi
