Bonnie morning .....


26th April 2019 (Friday) ..... 08.00    We have a bonnie start to the day .... a
"Good Morning" from the Royal Burgh.
mix of clouds and sunny spells.   Although not very windy the air feels cool.    That was at 05.30 .... when I went to the beach to catch the sunrise at 05.40.   The sunrise wasn’t particularly exciting, but there was an interesting ‘light’ all around.... especially towards the west.   I took a few photographs... and I am pleased with the results.    Now I need to have breakfast. 

 22.00     This has been a ‘long’ day and I have enjoyed every minute of it.   The only work I did was to take a load of garden rubbish to the ‘dump’.... oops ... now the re-cycling Depot at Pittenweem;  this was done on my way to Harbour House for ‘mc’.    Nope .... that’s not quite right;   I went for morning coffee on my way back from the dump.   The original ‘plan’, when I left Ivy, was to go Harbour House, but I was far too early so went to the dump first.    Yep ... that how it was!   Ye Gods I managed tae make that complicated!

With the light being good I went out with the camera before lunch;  to Elie Harbour, Kinneuchar, then Chapel Green.   I got a lot of decent photographs.... (though I wish I’d taken the bigger telephoto lens, and the tripod, with me) .... and I’m a happy boy.
I had a quick lunch, looked at today’s batch of photographs, then went to Leven too visit Jim.    Myra had stashed two custard goodies in Jim’s room so we ate them, had a mug of coffee.... and chatted, mostly about when we were recording kirks a few years ago.    Jim was in good form today.   It was raining by the time I left Leven;  and I passed through some heavy rain by the time I was back home in ‘The Ferry’.

I’m hoping that the rain has gone by tomorrow;  I think the forecast of for sunny spells

and showers.    That usually means an interesting sky!    Apart from ‘morning coffee’ I don’t have anything planned.   I am still sorting out photographs to take to St Andrews:   I should have a varied selection by Monday.

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...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
