Bonnie start to the day ....

13th October 2024 (Sunday)    09.30 .... It's a lovely autumn morning.... a bit chillier than I like,

but a good day for doing things around the garden.   Better still... a perfect day for walking a bit of the Coastal Path.   I might do the Chapel Green bit in the afternoon.    So far I've only been as far as the gate, but having 'slept in' I'm behind schedule.  Anyway I've had breakfast;  a mug o' coffee is  what I need to get me going.   I have a washing in the machine;  it's gaun tae be cauld on the hands hanging it out!

19.15    My plan to go up to Chapel Green, in the afternoon, was abandoned when a migraine kicked in just after lunch.    I took the pills, found something to watch on the tele.  I don't often find anything worth watching but today I found a, feature length, 'Miss Marple' that I hadn't seen for a long time.   I managed to watch it until the last half hour then fell sound asleep.   Bit of a bummer, because I won't know who the guilty person was until it's on again.   The migraine also meant that I didn't go out with the camera (Chapel Green).

The day hasn't been totally wasted.   I did the washing mentioned above, then cleared and washed a couple of shelves in the kitchen;  and washed the stuff that was on the shelves.  This means I'll have to do all the cupboards and contents therein, next.  I also made a rice pudding.   I planned to put some Carnation Milk in it but forgot to buy Carnation Milk the other day.  However it tastes good, especially with Raspberry jam in it! 

22.30   I was shocked to find that Alex Salmond has died.  Love him or hate him, he did more to put Scotland on the international stage, than anyone from from the other parties did: and, Alex Salmond was the most astute politician in the UK, for many years!  He'll be badly missed, in both Scottish and British politics.

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...
