Interesting foggy morning ....

26th September 2017 (Tuesday) .... 08.30    With fog blowing in from the North Sea, on a Southeast wind, it’s rather gloomy just now....  but ‘sunny spells later’, are mentioned in the weather forecast.    At least it isn’t raining... and it is warm,
Sunrise time at Elie this morning.
considering the wind direction.   I went down to the beach to see the sunrise ... and didn’t.    However there were interesting ‘fog blowing in’ photos to be had.    I now have them.    Orf to have breakfast ... and another cuppa.  

  22.30     This has been a quieter kind of day for me ....  especially after the hilarity of yesterday.   Jimmy and I visited ‘Laurie’ (Lawrence Anderson) in the Rehab Unit at St Andrews... and were pleasantly surprised to find him chatty, and looking forward to food.   Today was the first day he’s felt like he wanted to eat for a while.    Hopefully he’ll get out soon.    We also went to Morrison’s and bought a few bits and pieces.... including grapes for the ‘patient’.    We didn’t get lost in the lift this time:  we had company going ‘up’, and coming ‘down’... and one of them pressed the buttons!   Jim was telling us that the numbering system of ‘1’ being the
Earlsferry beach ... with Elaine walking her dog.
ground floor, instead of ‘G’, is the American way.
We’ve had a fair amount of ‘overcast’ today...i.e.  fog, .... with spells of sunshine, now and again, in the afternoon.    Jim and Jimmy have just gone orf home, and its foggy tonight.    Al least this has been a dry day .... i.e. no rain.

I went down to the beach after I got back from St Andrews.... there was stiff breeze from the Southeast, so it was rather cool.    There was a lot of ‘scattered light’ about which made things interesting.    I got a good photo of Elaine walking her dog along the beach... photographs are always far better with ‘action’ in them.

Jim and Jimmy came along in the evening and the subjects we discussed tonight were
The Ferry bents.
many .... they included, National Service, pitch and toss as played by the miners, lifts, Transocean Prospect (she is off Lisbon), and the Colinsburgh Lite Lunch which is tomorrow.

The weather for tomorrow is going to be much the same as what we had today;  our problem is the wind being from the sea, bring in the cloud/fog.    There should be ‘bright spells’ now and again.

Photographs : Top – fog/low cloud at sunrise time, Middle – Earlsferry beach, and Bottom – Earlsferry from the bents.

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...
