Lovely sunrise ....


12th February 2020 (Wednesday)     09.30 .... The garden thermometer
10 minutes before sunrise.
is showing 4C just now but with the wind chill it feels more like 1C;  having said that it is a bonnie morning but cold.    We had a cracker of a sunrise, some braw colours, but a “red sky in the morning etc”  means Storm Dennis is on his way in.
I did the washing and it is/was on the line when I last looked;  I did put extra pegs on it just in case.    It should dry fairly quickly and I might even get it ironed after lunch.    Must go.... got to get the papers.


11.30    I don’t believe me.   I went to the garage to fuel up the car, but the pump kept switching off so I gave up after £1.20... intending to the car to the garage.    Christine, who was on duty in the shop, said she would have a go:  yep .... fuel went in ‘nae bother’.   I do not know what I do wrong but it appears it’s me that’s the problem .... not the car.   Christine filled the tank so all’s well that ends well;  and I am looking forward to the Friendship Lunch.
Sunrise over Elie Bay.
From Colinsburgh I went to the ‘paper shop’ and had morning coffee with the ‘Troops’.... and I remembered to call Sarah “Sarah”.... sometimes 'Sarah' is “Laura”.

20.00     We’ve had a lovely day... sunny mostly, but it has been cold.    The ‘Friendship Lunch’ was excellent .... as it always is.   It seems that there’s ‘nothing’ happening anywhere....not even in Kinneuchar.

I am looking forward to the weekend;  Iain is coming down (weather permitting) to upgrade the big computer.    It’s the one I use when sorting out the photographs etc.  Tomorrow?    Hmmmmm .... after morning coffee tomorrow I’ll pop along Leven to do
Bonnie afternoon - but cold.
a wee shopping and visit Jim.  I must remember that we have a ‘Valentine Drop in Cafe’ in the afternoon.... can’t forget that.   I’ve just seen the weather forecast for tomorrow .... and the weekend:   not very promising at all.... Storm Dennis arrives on Saturday and is with us until Monday.    Tomorrow is going to start wet with rain/sleet/snow.

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
