Early morning frost ....


8th March 2019 (Friday) ....   08.30    Well .... we have a bonnie morning,
Sunrise over the East Links, Elie.
and the washing is on the line but I very much doubt if it will dry as there is only a light breeze .... and showers/light rain is forecast for the early afternoon.    I won’t be going far today .... only as far as Elie for the paper, and morning coffee.
We had a touch of frost, and a bonnie sunrise this morning:  the beach was quiet when I was there, though there had been one person, and a dog, before I bumbled my way down.... at sunrise. 

 20.00    For those of you who have worried about my washing today:   well,  it began to rain at 11.30 (we were leaving Harbour House at that time) so I was back at Ivy in time to rescue it (the washing) before the rain became really heavy.   Most of it was dry enough to iron;  a job that I might do later on this evening.    The forecast for tomorrow is ‘good’ so I’ll hang out anything that could do with a bit more drying.     Funny thing is that I enjoyed worrying about my washing:   it’s exciting being ‘me’ ....
Early sunlight on some Earlsferry beachfront houses.
and I’m easily pleased.    
The ‘Leven Beach’ care home, wherein Jim is ensconced, is a really nice place (I went along with Myra this afternoon).    The Staff are friendly (they make a braw cuppa) and Jim is quite settled in a room with a view over the Firth.... in fact he can see the southwest corner of the ‘Royal Burgh’ from his window.   It’s sad to see Jim inside when he was/is such an outdoor active person, but I was glad to see him looking less stressed.... and content even.    I’m a happier ‘boy’ tonight.

My ‘plan’ for this weekend is to get the Colinsburgh WRI girls Presentation photographs sorted out, and have the presentation complete by the middle of the week.    Most of the photographs are ‘in place’ but I want to add a few more Balcarres
Everything is good at the Centre of the Universe.
ones etc.    Frances dropped off the menu for their (Colinsburgh WRI) anniversary Dinner in May.   The girls have asked me to take  photographs of that event, and I am going to join them for the anniversary Dinner.  

My ‘plan’ for tomorrow is to work on the aforementioned presentation, take time out for morning coffee, then do some more ‘work’    The forecast is good so I might take a walk up to Chapel Green for a break in the afternoon.

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
