Awesome sunrise .....

15th October 2017 (Sunday) .... 09.00    Oh my word .... we had an absolutely gorgeous sunrise this morning ....  no ... it was in the half hour before
Elie this morning ... 25 minutes before sunrise.
sunrise that the sky looked spectacular;   I just got swallowed up in it, and this is when I feel nearest to God.    I go to the kirk (occasionally) and enjoy the company, and everyone singing, but down on the beach, especially when we have the sun lighting up the sky, as it did this morning ..... that is awesome.   I can well understand why pagans(?) worshipped the sun.    

We have a lovely, bright and breezy’  morning now ... but not cold;  that said the red sky is a sign of ‘naughty’ weather ahead!    The beach was quiet with only myself, and a lady walking her dog, enjoying the early morning spectacle.... no joggers.    The lady is called Monica, her dog ‘Pepper’, and the family are here for the mid-term holiday: what we’d call the ‘Tauttie Holidays’.... when we earned 19/6d, for a week at the tauttie howkin’.    Those were the days.
Fun on the beach.
20.00     The ‘Boy’ (that’s me) has been busy... cleaning windows, and anything with glass in it.     Having done the windows I’m now amazed at the number of folk going up and down Ferry Road;  either the windows were in a serious state of needing cleaning ... or ...there are a lot of holidays maker in the village.  The Hutte windows are next on the list.... but that will be later in the week;   I have a busy schedule for Monday Tuesday and Wednesday.
Jimmy and I went to Leven in the morning;   Jimmy was running out of porridge cartons... and he fancied a cuppa in the Cafe.    We could have gone to the kirk and had coffee/tea there, but, when Jem’s is running out of porridge... ‘flap on’ mode kicks in.   We’ll go up to Kinneuchar next week.

When I’d finished playing with the Glass Cleaner, I had a walk down to the beach... this was about sunset time.      It was great to find the beach busy.... loads of life, albeit
I thought it was cold until I saw this Retriever... retrieving it's ball!
distant, in the photographs.   There was a brisk wind blowing, and, with the sun going behind the clouds it was cold.

I have an early start tomorrow morning;   Jimmy’s car is going in for a service and I have to pick him up, and bring him home, after he drops it into the garage at 08.00.   Calumn is picking me up at 10.30 and we are going to visit Sandy and Eleanor (Craw’s Nest) in Cellardyke, for morning coffee.

Monday’s weather looks like being messy;  windy with rain and squally showers.    Tuesday’s weather is to be even messier!

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...
