Nice morrrrrrrrning ....

12th December 2024 (Thursday)    09.30 .... We had a bonnie sky at sunrise;  unfortunately I

wasn't on the beach with the camera, but the photo from Ivy gate gives you an idea of what the sky was like.   Although the air doesn't feel as cauld as it was yesterday, it was too cold for me to go wandering.    Today will be a card writing day.

I remembered to phone Specsavers (Leven) to cancel the appointment I had for today .... and discovered that it, Audiology appointment, is for next Wednesday (18th) anyway.   Off to make a fresh cuppa!  

15.30   I finished writing the cards for posting, then took time out to go up to the Post Box at the Toll Green and posted them.   I have started on the 'Rotary' ones and they should be done, and posted, hopefully tomorrow.    The sore throat isn't as bad as it sounds, it seems to be a 24 hour thing.  The stuff (Difflam Spray) I got from the Chemist worked wonders.

The weather has been a bit brighter today, in fact it was lovely in the morning, but a damper air came over in the afternoon, to spoil what would have been a nice, but cold, day.  

Bob came round  in the afternoon and we chatted about Edinburgh.  Then Anne came (Bobs better half) looking for Bob because she was lonely.   The three of us then chatted about Edinburgh. 

22.30    I've felt better today, but tomorrow will stay in and warm tomorrow writing more cards.  That's an easy job.   The most annoying thing (for me) about this sair throat, is how awkward it is to swallow water.... and I drink a lot of water: I begin my morning normally with a pint of it.   It's a sip job just now... so takes much longer.

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...
