Lovely morning ....

8th January 2025 (Wednesday)     08.30 .... There's a touch of frost, on what is a lovely morning, with a

feel of winter about it. It's cold. 

I have my hearing test today;  I imagine the end result will be a hearing aid.   I'm looking forward to hearing the skeins of geese again! ..... And having normal conversations!

22.30    The hearing test I had today was free;  it's the next one that I pay £50 for.... if my Doctor thinks I need a hearing aid.    The Audiologist that did the test today is going to recommend hearing aids.  She is going to write up the result  of today's test, and send it to me, then I take it up to the Surgery, and the Doctor will make the decision.

When I got to Alice's this morning she appeared to be out, so I went down to Specsavers and picked up my new glasses.  I then went back up to Alice's ,and found out that she had been out in the garden, and didn't hear the doorbell.   She came to the front door just as I was leaving and ran after me but I didn't see her.  Anyway Alice was 'in' when I got back (actually she'd never been out);  and we had a cuppa before going down to Specsavers for the hearing test.    That was followed by lunch in the 'Caley'., and afternoon coffee at Alice's before I bumbled my way home .... after a busy and eventful morning. 

Back at Ivy I topped up the windscreen washers with stronger screen wash as it is going to be seriously cold for the next few days.   It's already frosty tonight.   The main 'plan' for tomorrow is to stay warm.

Although I had the camera with me I didn't take any photos today, so will find a couple from the Alberto Archive.

I'm looking forward to biking through Elie Estate in the Spring!    Today's photos were taken in 2011.

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...
