Wintry feel to the air ....


26th October 2018 (Friday) .... 09.00    we have a nice morning, but it’s
Elie Bay at sunrise time.
definitely cooler, as per forecast;  in fact the clouds towards the East have a wintry look to them.     We were never going to see the sunrise this morning because of the clouds;  we need  gap between the horizon and the cloud base to let the sunshine though to give us ‘the sunrise’.   As it was the sun ‘rose’, above the clouds 12 minutes after actual sunrise time.  That  said, it was nice on the beach....but cold on the hands, .... when I had my gloves off.

20.00    It has been cold today, but it has also a good drying day:  I washed two downy covers.... and ironed them.   I’m a happy bunny.   I haven’t done very much today;  apart from the paper and morning coffee, and a couple of sorties to the beach, I have
Earlsferry at sunset time.
been in or around Ivy all day.

I have seen the News which is headlined today by the disclosure of Philip Green being the ‘secret business man’.   To be honest all that this tells me is that there is a law for the rich and a law for the poor;   nothing new there then!    I fell asleep by the time they’d finished discussing how naughty the ‘clype’ was that disclosed  the (until now) ‘mystery name’.  
 
The beach was quite busy this evening at sunset time;  I did notice that everyone, even the dogs, was well wrapped up, and wearing woolly hats etc. to keep the Northerly wind out.   No, that’s not quite right  ..... the dogs weren’t wearing woolly hats!   I like this cold air .... as long as I’m wearing heavy duty togs.... I feel more active.    Pity I can’t be:  more active i.e.

This cauldness is to be with us for the next couple of days, so I’m going to stay around
The Ferry beach.
Ivy Cottage;   backing up my photographs onto DVD’s etc... staying warm.... and even do a spot of hibernating.    The car is going in for a service on Monday so I don’t need go to Leven until then.    It’s quite breezy tonight, so, although a bonnie night not a night for being out.    I’ve got the heating turned up and will see what’s on the tele after this update.   Oh .... I’ll have nine holes of golf on the Wii machine.


22.00    I’ve been out to the Hutte... and oh my word it is cold out;    Not cosy.    The evening has been spent designing, and printing off three Hutte ‘business’ cards.   Just wee cards with the Hutte and my FB web address on them.   I’ll take a photo and let you see the three I’ve produced.   Tomorrow I’ll choose one to print off and use.    It’s now bed time!    "Goodnight all" xx

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

Cold and overcast ....

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
