Peaceful sunrise .....


30th March 2019 (Saturday) ....07.00    There wasn’t much happening on
Sunrise over The Toft - Elie.
the beach this morning..... even the birds were quiet:  actually it was only 05.30 so hardly surprising that it was quiet.    (I must have got rid of the cold because I had the urge to catch the sunrise this morning).   Sunrise wasn’t spectacular, but it was serene, the way the sun came up through the clouds.   It’s a wee bit misty just now, and there’s only a light breeze;  a cool ‘light breeze’ I should say.... a nice start to the day.  
  

22.30     We had a couple of hours of heavy ‘Scotch Mist before midday, but that cleared away and we ended up with a balmy afternoon.... and a beach busy with folks enjoying the ‘balmy afternoon’.    The villages have been busy this weekend;  I don’t know if it’s some kind of holiday weekend, but it looks like it is.... the villages are livelier.    I know all this because I made a mug of coffee and went down to Nana’s Seat and watched the aforesaid folk walking on the beach.

Lovely afternoon.
I got a surprise visit from Heather and Alistair, who are up for the weekend.... from a wee village near Durham.     We caught up with each other’s ‘news’,.... and had a mug of my ‘finest’.   Not there was much ‘news’ but we did have a pleasant evening chatting about the villages.
   
Tomorrow the kirk service is in Colinsburgh Town Hall.    It’s some kind of different service from the normal;   Irene is making a cake, and the congregation are having cake and coffee/tea in the middle of the service.    I’m going to the kirk tomorrow.   I don’t know what form the service is going to take, but I do know that Irene is a brilliant cook .... and  I like cake!   I’ll take the camera.    That is my ‘plan’ for tomorrow.

I’ve been thinking about the New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, and what
.... busy beach.
makes her stand head and shoulders above other female ‘Prime Ministers’, past and present.   Other female ‘Leaders’ seem to think that the job of a ‘leader’ means that you have to act like a male, whereas PM Ardern (NZ) does not:  she is a female and is leading as a female.... with feminine qualities!    We need more ‘Leaders’ like her the  whole World over.

We lose an hour’s asleep tonight so I’d better bumble off to bed.... I want to catch tomorrow’s sunrise ....at 06.45.

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
