Waiting for sunny intervals ....


28th August 2018 (Tuesday) .... 08.30    The weather forecast for Elie and Earlsferry is ‘overcast with sunny intervals’:  we have the ‘overcast’,  (it’s heavily
A 'sunny interval' .....
overcast) ... we now need the ‘sunny intervals’;   in fact one would do,  as in the whole day long.    I do intend painting the shed, at least a bit of it, but I’ll wait for the sunny interval.


12.00     So far the ‘sunny interval’ has been the one that I got a picture of... and it didn’t last long.    I’ve been up for the paper, and had coffee with Myra, Jim and Geoff, but the paint tin remains unopened.... it's quite cold just now.    The sky is beginning to brighten so I might get some painting done after lunch.

The Ferry beach.

22.00   The weather did brighten up in the afternoon, but not enough for me to risk painting.   However I did enjoy taking some family photographs;  and I‘m very pleased with the results.   All I have to do is sort them out, deleting any OOF ones etc, and get them onto a Memory Stick.    I should get that done tonight/tomorrow morning. 
I had a walk along the dunes to see if there was anyone about but it was quiet.... so I went back to Ivy and contemplated painting.   The forecast is better for tomorrow....  after some overnight/early morning rain.

Jim has reminded me that the ‘Colinsburgh Lite Lunch’ resumes tomorrow, after the Summer break;  as does the ‘Drop in Cafe’ on Thursday.    Things are getting back to normal after the summer holidays.   And there’s more good news;  ‘JB’ is coming up, for 10 days, at the beginning of October.  
 
As I said earlier the weather forecast is good for tomorrow;  proper sunny spells after
The 'toon' hall' spire.
midday.    I certainly feel like getting the paint out, but it all depends on the weather.
‘Plan’ for tomorrow?    I’ll have daunder along the beach at some point... again that’s weather dependent.   The ‘Colinsburgh Lunch’ takes care of ... ‘lunch’, and there’s the papers, and morning coffee in Harbour House in the morning:     also today’s photographs to finish off.    Yes an interesting, and fairly busy, day ahead tomorrow.

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...
