Light frost ....


5th December 2018 (Wednesday) .... 07.30    We have an early morning
Sunrise time .... that was happening behind the clouds on the right.
frost with a thin layer of frost on the car;  a bonnie start to the day but the forecast is for rain by mid morning.    It looks like I’ll get my Christmas cards printed off today.

08.30    I was on the beach for sunrise but that was never going to be visible this morning;  not from out neck of the wood anyway ..... there was a big bank of clouds between us and the sun.   What we did get was bonnie, but it was also cold so I didn’t hang around.  


It started to rain at 10.30.... this was taken at 11.00.
12.30    It has been wet and miserable since 10.30 and looks like it will be thus for a bit yet.    I have been for the paper, and morning coffee:  except that I forgot to go for the papers.    I’m ensconced in ‘Ivy’ for the remainder of the day, hatches battened down, .... with the kettle on permanent stand- by.... so the papers will have to wait until ‘ra morra’.   I’m worried in case all the “Leven Mails” have been sold;  you never know there could be big run on “Leven Mails”.   

19.30    We have been really lucky in one way today:  we've had a dust free afternoon.    On the other hand it has been miserable and very wet;  not a day for doing much.    Not outside anyway.    I had a busy afternoon:  I cut my tae nails, .... and ... yes  I  did ‘oover up the clippings.    I then watched President Bush’s funeral.    Not the whole of it.... just bits now and again.;  until ‘Lovejoy’ came on.     It’s still ‘wet and miserable’ .... I know this ‘cos I’ve been out at the bucket.

Tomorrow morning I’m going to Leven;   George wants to do some shopping so I’m
Earlsferry High Street.
taking him with me.    We’ve got an early start because my appointment is at 09.00.    I’m also going for a haircut, and meeting George in Sainsbury’s later.

It looks like (going by the weather forecast) that we cold wake up to more dampness .... but not as bad as it has been today:  there’s even a chance of a few bright spells in the afternoon.    My ‘tomorrow morning’ is all taken care of, and in the afternoon we have the Drop in Cafe:  tomorrow is well planned.

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...

The morning after 'Storm Eowyn' ....

25th  January 2025 (Saturday)     08.30 .....  Well .... that was one frisky wind yesterday Candlelight evening....Unfortunately not a romantic one! afternoon;   from 14.30 to 17.30 it was absolutely ferocious.    And I got some damage at Ivy Cottage;  a ridge tile blew off, slid down the roof and broke the rhone (guttering I thinks it's called now) so that will have to be repaired.  A Red Warning of wind means damage and that's what we have;  not only at Ivy but at other places around Elie and Earlsferry.... and over the whole area of the red Warning.   I only hope no one was injured by stuff being blown around in the wind.    It's the worst wind I have ever experienced in Earlsferry.   I have never felt so useless .... and helpless.    My neighbour Mathew came round to see if I was OK.... which I really appreciated;  I enjoyed talking to him.... it calmed me down a bit.  ...
