Lovely morrrrrrrrning ....

11th November 2024 (Monday)     Armistice Day.   ('Glenfuir' flags).

07.45     It's a lovely morning, with a red sunrise, and almost a touch of frost in the air.    The towels are on the line, I've had breakfast, and will now have another cuppa before going along to the Skeith Centre.    This will be a lazy day pottering around Ivy;  I might have morning coffee on the patio if it is sunny.... as it is forecast to be.

12.45   The mission to the Skeith Centre turned out to be a catheter change, not a trial run without the catheter as I thought it was.   It's not going as smooth as I'd hoped and have to phone the duty Chemist in the afternoon.   Not a major problem.... but a bothersome one: Which will be taken care of in the afternoon.   'Ever so slight flap on'!    

We have a lovely afternoon now but it's not warm enough to have coffee on the patio; but the washing I hung out, before I went to Ainster, is drying albeit slowly.   Could be doing with a bit more of a breeze.  I'm going to have lunch, after which I'll make a rice pudding;  got a a lot of milk left over from the weekend.

14.30    So far this has been a day trying to sort out my catheter problem ....but I feel that we are gettin somewhere now.  Th next phone call should provide the answer.   I'm kinda tied to the house just now.   The washing is drying, but very slowly.   Tomorrow is forecast to be a better 'drying day', so I might just leave most of it out.   

20.00     The catheter problem should settle down in a few days;  and my PSA reading is much lower,  so I am a happy boy.   The next catheter change is on February 11th. 

Shona was out walking the beach this afternoon and dripped in for a cuppa and blether.   We had a lot to catch up with, and ended up staying for 'dinner'.    So, although the trip to the Skeith Centre was disappointing, the day ended happily.   And I was surprised to find that washing almost dried;  and is now dangling in front of  radiators.    I have another small washing to do tomorrow.

22.30  The Skeith appointment was a disappointment for me today; but nothing that can't be lived with.
I'll go up to Davidson's (Chemist)  for more Menthol crystals... and a paper from the 'paper shop'.   And anything else that I might need.   Tomorrow is going to be a 'rest day'.   I'll get the pencils out and do some drawing.

We have a lovely moonlight night tonight (waxing gibbous) so I got the camera out.  (The full moon is on the 15th).   With the moon being our nearest 'neighbour' it has to be photographed now and again.

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...

4th January 2024 (Saturday)    09.15 .... The car windscreens is clear, the washing I left out Shona huggin' a huge Kilbrackmont tree! overnight is flapping about in the breeze, and my breathing easier.   The sky is mostly cloudy just now, but our weather forecast for today is "sunny intervals with a gentle breeze".    There's a Yellow Warning for snow active from midnight tonight through to midday on Monday;  though I imagine it will more likely be sleet, or rain,  for us.   'Sunny Sussex' and most of the South of England is covered by an Amber Warning for snow today, so most of the UK is likely to see snow at some point over the next few days. 20.00    Although not the best of drying days the washing was nearly dry by the end of the afternoon.   Earlier in the afternoon I'd gone to Methil to annoy Alice.  We had a cuppa before going shopping.  We went to Sainsbury's they have 'everything' and are trying ...
