Light frost ....


29th October 2018 (Monday) ....  07.30   We have a lovely, crisp morning
Elie Bay.
with a light frost;  as was forecast.    The air should quickly warm up once the sun climbs above the clouds.   The beach was busy, with dog walkers this morning .....no  joggers!      Sunrise was obscured by low cloud:  I knew this was going to be the case, having browsed the Fife Weather cams.   The Aberdour camera shows what’s happening along the East horizon.  
I don’t need to go to Leven for a wee while yet .... yes .... I’ll have another cuppa.


19.30    It has been a beautiful, and busy day .    The car has been serviced;  it has to go in  on Wednesday to get two tyres replaced, and something else done.    I’ll take it in first thing on Wednesday and hope to have it back before the ‘Lite Bite Lunch’ at Colinsburgh.   Unfortunately Wednesday was the only day they could fit it .... the car ...in.

Busy sky over Elie and Earlsferry.
I went round to Janet’s after leaving the car at the garage, had a cuppa, caught up with her ‘news,.... and even remembered to leave a memory stick with the family photographs on it:  we then both walked (at my speed) down to Leven;  I went to Sainsbury’s... Janet was going to the High Street.   I had sandwiches in Sainsbury’s.     Angela and Graham were just finishing their coffee so I company for a few minutes.... and an interesting chat.

When I got the car from the garage I went round to Janet’s to pick up an Aran jersey that Janet had repaired.    There was a small hole where I’d caught it I’d caught it on a door handle.    I was back home by 13.30.   I’d intended washing said jersey when I got home, but we had some heavy showers bumbling their way over by then.    I’ll wash it first thing in the morning and hope that any showers that come our way tomorrow are later in the afternoon.    I’ll be around Ivy most of the day.
  
When I arrived back at Ivy (from Leven) I met Jock who was worrying about planting
Elie Bay at sunset time.
his tubs.     “Jock” I said to Jock;  you don’t need to worry.... “get Honor to do it”.... then gave him a travel sweetie to calm him down!   Jock was just a complete ‘bag o’ nerves’:  even more so than me!

We’ve had a busy sky this afternoon, so I went down to the harbour (not the warmest place to be), followed by a quick trip home, by Balbuthie Loan.... then down to the beach to catch a few more cloud photographs.    I’m a contented boy tonight.... and a tired one.    My knee is not a happy bunny knee.

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
