Colourful pre- sunrise sky ....


24th October 2018 (Wednesday) .... 09.00    We had a spectacular pre
Pre- sunrise sky over Elie Bay.
sunrise sky this morning;  loads of colour ... not a good sign I know... but awfie bonnie.    We have a grand morning;  the wind has dropped to an acceptable light breeze,.... a pleasant day for being out in.   There’s an oxymoron for you!    Actually the sky is overcast just now, but I don’t think rain is forecast for our area.... though it is moving into the far Northwest.   We’re down for ‘sunny with a fresh breeze’.   
I’m in  a ‘working’ kind of mood this morning:  that could rapidly change.    It doesn’t take much to divert me.   I’ve got a load of photographs to ‘play’ with.

Sunset sky over Kincraig.
1.00    Welllll .... I’ve got a load more photographs to ‘play’ with after tonight’s sunset:  it was a cracker.    So much for “red sky in the morning etc”;  twelve hours later we have “red sky at night etc”.   I suppose that’s Scottish weather at its best;  it cannae make its mind up what to be!     I’m enjoying the sun rising and setting just now.... and ....  I’m now looking forward to a bonnie day tomorrow!

Tomorrow I’ll have to go up for my paper early:  the new bed is being delivered ‘sometime’ on Thursday.    I’m hoping for a morning delivery, but it all depends where the Depot is that the delivery people leave from.    Anyway I’m organised,  for whenever they arrive;  however I’m tied to Ivy Cottage until they do.  Arrive i.e.    I’ll most likely miss either morning coffee, or the ‘Drop in Cafe’;  maybe even both.

I’ve had a busy .... no ... I wouldn’t say ‘busy’ ... more of a bumbling kind of working
Links Road - Earlsferry.
day.    I found a box of older photographs and ended up browsing through, and taking photographs of a few of them.   I’ll use them on a ‘rainy day’.    Actually, ‘light rain’ is mentioned in the weather forecast for later tomorrow afternoon;   having said that we did have a “red sky tonight” .... so... there should not be any ‘light rain’ tomorrow!
This sunrise and sunset excitement has got me all fired up for more of the same:  but that’s not how it works.    I check the “Fife Weather” weather cams, first thing every morning, to see if the sky is showing potential for a bonnie sunrise.   If it looks promising .... I’m on the beach.   If not .... I have another cuppa.

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 friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

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 lunch!   And it was a really good lun

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
