Cracker of a sunrise on the beach ....


8th November 2018 (Thursday) .... 11.30   When having morning coffee
Actual sunrise time!
in Harbour House this morning, Joyce reminded me that I hadn’t done the ‘Hutte’!     My excuse is that I was so excited by this morning’s sunrise, and sorting out some sunrise photographs for FB that it was 10.00 before I knew it.   10.00 is coffee time.   Apologies for me being forgetful;   I’d sit on the ‘naughty’ step but, lucky for me, Ivy doesn’t have stairs.
We have a lovely morning, though it can feel chilly in the brisk SE breeze....and it looks like we might get a light shower later.    I don’t have ‘plan’ for today;  except that I must remember that it’s the History Society AGM tonight:  I have been invited to become an Honorary member .... an invitation I am happy to accept.    I won’t have to salute Alan anymore... and, more importantly perhaps, Rosie, won’t have to chase me up every year for my Membership fees!

Peaceful Firth of Forth.

16.00     I ended up with a migraine after lunch;  absolutely self inflicted because I know that chocolate is one of the main triggers, and I had a chocolate biscuit.   After ‘50’ in front of the tele (watching the New), and a couple of pills, the chocolate has been neutralised and I’m feeling mair playful again.    By the time this happened the sky had clouded over, and now has the, threatening rain look.   In fact light rain is forecast overnight.... and at times tomorrow.
After a cuppa I felt explorative  so ‘jamp’ in the car and did my regular Balbuthie Loan run stopping to take the photograph of “Kinneuchar on a dull day”;    Kinneuchar, even on a dull day, is bonnie. ... but it does take sunshine to bring out the
best of the autumn colours.
Kinneuchar on a dull day.

21.30     So ... there’s me bumbling along to the History Society meeting, thinking I was going to wander in 20 minutes early;  only to find I was, actually 10 minutes late!  .... (when I think of it that isn’t bad by my standards ... sometimes I’m  a day out).   The meeting was set for 19.00 .... not 19.30 as I thought.    Anyway I am now a very proud Honorary Member of the local History Society.... and yes... Rosie did heave a big sigh of relief!

We have a wet evening here... as was forecast... but most of the rain should pass over us during the night and first part of the morning.


I’m absolutely shattered tonight, so it’s off to bed for this boy.    If it’s raining in the morning I’ll have ‘sleep in’:  I've put the bucket oot so I don't have to worry about that.

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
