Colourful sunrise....


23rd October 2019 (Wednesday)    09.30 ....  It was bonnie on the beach
Sunrise time over Elie Bay.
this morning.... and not too cold.    When I first arrived on the beach there was hardly any wind, but it freshened as the sun came up.... so it was breezy by the time I came off the beach.   We had a colourful sunrise, in fact it was an interesting sky all round.    Now I suppose I’d better have breakfast.



15.00    While we were sitting having coffee in ‘arbour ‘ouse we were surprised ... no shocked would be a better word...  to see a, brand new looking, Fife Council gritter going past.   It hadn’t been frosty overnight and we didn’t think frost is in the forecast.   'The Boys' suddenly felt colder and muchly disorientated by this gritter and Myra, the Team Leader, wasn’t there to console us as she was off getting her hair done.  In the end we decided that it was a new driver being shown the route or some such thing;  and went back to discussing something important.

Elie - this afternoon.
It hasn’t been the prettiest of days but it has not been the coldest either, so I went up to Chapel Green after lunch;  at that time the sun breaking through the clouds to give us short spells of sunshine.... in fact it was quite pleasant.   I got back to Ivy and promptly had ‘50’.  I had a restless night last night having woke up at 02.20 thinking Maggie wanted me to make her a cuppa!   I had one then read a bit of my book before falling asleep again.


19.30    I suppose I have to say that this hasn’t been an exciting day, but it has been satisfying one as far as getting stuff done on the computer.... all I have to do is knit it altogether.   That will be the hard bit.

I have been totally shocked by the ‘News’ that 39 bodies had been found in a lorry in
Kincraig cliffs - Earlsferry.
Essex this morning.   We live in very sad times I’m thinkin’.  It’s only after today’s horror that we remember the 60 Chinese found at Dover in 2000... 58 dead two survivors having been smuggled across the Channel in the same manner as today’s victims. 
 
What do I intend to do tomorrow?    Well I haven’t really thought about it.... but the weather is supposed to be ‘breezy with sunny spells’;   could be a good drying day!   How sad is that.   I’m bound to have something better to think about that whether it is going to be a good drying day!

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
