Nice morning ....

5th August 2024 (Monday)     10.30 .... Although mostly cloudy earlier, we now have sunny spells,


with the chance of light showers later;  it's a bonnie morning.   Michael and Janice are away for a daunder and I'm resting.  That said, I am feeling brighter than I've felt for a while;  not 'iggzactly' frolicsome but feeling positive.... I might even go for a short run in the car.

21.30    It has been  a nice day ;  a bit humid at the beginning and end and the fresh breeze in the afternoon was very welcome.    I'm still 'resting' though I manage to do the necessary 'ousework but it can be a struggle at times.   Tomorrow I have an appointment (14.30) at the Urology Clinic at Queen Margaret in Dunfermline;  Michael and Janice are taking me;  hopefully it won't be as long as 'Vic' one was.   That said.... I have been advised to take reading material!   Michael and Janice will drop me off and get me settled in, then can go somewhere around Dunfermline until I am done.    I'm in the middle of a a course of anti biotics so I can't imagine that they will be able to do much.

I'd hoped that the garden would have been finished by the time I was having hospital appointments;  but is isn't and I'm feeling quite depressed about that.   My neighbours (Chris and Julie) are not happy and want to see my garden re-instated as promised.   The Architect 'might' 'be coming on the 12th, but, having read the e-mail again I very much doubt if she will turn up.


Michael and Janice had a walk up to Chapel Green this evening.  (I'd love to be able to go up there but I can't use the bike just now).   It was very quit and the sky was really interesting.... as you can see from the photographs that Janice sent me.  I have a load of them but I'll tired so will sort  them remainder out tomorrow morning (having done three for 'The Hutte' tonight).

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

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
