Early frost .... but bright and sunny



8th March 2018 (Thursday) .... 08.30    There’s a touch of frost this morning, but it is a bonnie morning, if slightly cold.     Although there isn’t much of a
Elie this morning.

wind at all,  and therefore not really a ‘drying day’, I have a washing going through the machine.    I had thought of doing some things in the garden this morning,.... but it’s cauld.    The afternoon is taken care of, as we have the ‘Drop in Cafe’;   so what will I do with the morning?     Of course .... I could go to the beach!  
 

21.30     My morning was easily ‘filled’;   I went to Harbour House, with Myra Jim and Geoff.... and ... Harbour House was busy;  with two tables full  of ‘girlfriends’.    Harbour House is always a happy place to have coffee/tea.    When I got back to Ivy I
Elie harbour.
pruned the Clematis, (note to me....  must get a haircut next week) and filled the ‘broon’ bucket, with clematis bits.

The ‘Drop in Cafe’ was busy this week;  of course we had two weeks news to catch up on.    Everyone has recovered from the winter weather, and enjoying this spell sunny weather.    That said, when i came out of the ‘Cafe’ it was to discover a rain shower passing over ... and ... I had my washing on the line.    Luckily I was back in Ivy before it got really wet..... it will be a nice ironing job. 

This evening, the History Society had an interesting presentation/ talk on the sinking of the SS Avondale Park .... the last ship to be sunk by the enemy in WWII.     The speaker, Glen Jones, kept the audience enthralled with an  interesting, and entertaining history of the ‘Avondale’ from her launch in Nova Scotia, in early 1944, to her demise, southeast of May Island on the 7th May 1945.    We had coffee /tea after the talk;   and
Shags at Elie Harbour.
much chat.    This has been a good day, with loads of chatting.    I have enjoyed ‘today’ ..... I think my ‘penguin’ knees are getting back to normal.

Our weather is to me ‘more of the same’ tomorrow, but windier:   Saturday brings a change ..... rain.    I’ll hang my washing out again tomorrow morning .... and do the ironing on Saturday!       Jim and I will go to Harbour House for coffee in the morning tomorrow;  Myra is otherwise engaged and is leaving Jim in charge.

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...
