Bonnie sunrise ....

4th February 2018 (Sunday) ..... 09.00    At last;   I woke up in time to be down on the beach before sunrise.    With ‘sunrise’ happening at  08.03 (and it was not
Early morning sun on Earlsferry.
hidden behind clouds)  it wasn’t ‘iggzactly’ an early start for me.... but it’s an improvement on the past few mornings;   I’m nearly back to normal ‘me’.    It’s a bonnie morning for a walk actually .... I may have a wee daunder up to the Pony Field after breakfast.....     I’d better not forget I’m going out for lunch at 12.30.
19.30     Ivan, Jenny and Adelaide arrived ‘bang on’ 12.30  to pick me up;  we were going to The Bank, in Anstruther for lunch.     You can rely on the food, and service, being excellent there.     I had sausages and mash;  one of my favourite meals.    After lunch, we went for a short daunder;  to help the digestive system.    The walk, out on the west Pier, was

terminated when it began to spit rain.

Back at Ivy (Cottage), I made a lovely mug of coffee.    I wonder .... could that be ‘fake news?’.    Yes .... it probably is.     Ivan entertained us with some real life, hilarious, work stories as we enjoyed the ‘extremely tasty’ coffee .... and skinny chocolate digestives.

I’ve been down on the beach twice today.... sunrise time, and sunset time.    It has been gorgeous all day all along the East Neuk.    I got a few pictures of the peaceful Centre of the Universe on both visits.

I’m tired tonight;  I always am when I come home from Sussex, and Aberdeenshire.   It must be the sea air!     This means another early night in bed.
Jenny, Ivan and Adelaide.... in Castle Street, Anstruther.


 Our weather for tomorrow is forecast to be much the same as today... perhaps colder.     The ‘plan’ is for me to go the garage, in Leven, in the morning, and   I’ll do any shopping that I can think of when along there:   a roll of roofing felt being one thing I need.     There’s a small bit of patching required on the wee shed.

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...
