Colourful sunrise sky ....


5th October 2019 (Saturday)    09.00 ...We had a colourful sunrise this
Elie Bay - 20 minutes before sunrise time.
morning... the kind that gets me into dream mode.   Yes the red sky is not a good omen but my word it was magnificent; there was only one man walking his dogs and me on the beach to enjoy it.   I have no doubt that the weather will deteriorate as per forecast but the sky this morning ... oh that was something else.    I’m going to have a quick breakfast then go out on the bike before the bad weather does move in.


12.00   The roads were busy this morning and I was glad to get into Elie Estate: having said that, it was an enjoyable bit of exercise, with a busy sky making the photographs interesting.... much more interesting than the busy road.    I’m happy.     The villages
The Ferry beach.
are busy... I think this is the start of the ‘half term’ school holidays, which probably explains the busy roads.   I’m starting to feel peckish:  ‘Puku’ (bless his lovely sixteen pack) is in need of a few calories:  and I’m tired.   That shouldn’t surprise me as I’ve been on the go since 06.00;   I’m think I’ll have a ‘lite bite’ lunch then ‘50’ before starting to work.   Not proper work;  doing stuff on the computer.    I notice that timing of the ‘Yellow warning’, (rain) has changed with most of the wet weather happening tonight and tomorrow.

15.00    My goodness I was tired;  I slept for a whole hour.   By the look of the sky I haven’t missed much but I now have a fully charged battery on the bike .... aye... and I’m feeling ‘fully charged’ too!    Much need of a cuppa though;  then I’ll get on with ‘work’.   Oh ... ‘M’ is safely home in Otaki;  tired after the journey.... and it’s raining.   In Otaki i.e.!   Not in the Royal Burgh. 

20.30   Other than work on the computer with an occasional break for a cuppa I have
The 'Beacon' this afternoon.
had a quiet afternoon.    I did set off to have a daunder up the road but it started to spit rain (16.00) so got no further than the phone box;  which was handy because I’d picked up some rubbish to put in the waste paper bin on the way.

If the weather is as forecast tomorrow it looks like I’ll be doing computer stuff and drinking a succession of cuppas.   I am making progress with the project I’m working on so I’m a ‘happy bunny’.   Still a bit tired but I won’t have to get out of bed early tomorrow morning.... though I almost certainly will.

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
