Bonnie sunrise ....

 

14th September 2020 (Monday)     08.00 .... we had a bonnie sky at sunrise


time... and it’s a bonnie day now.   The sky is overcast but it’s dry and warm (it’s going to be really warm tomorrow)... so a nice day for being out.    I haven’t been for the paper but I’ll do that later in the morning now;  the weather forecast isn’t bad so I might go somewhere.


18.30    I am a happy bunny tonight .... and a tired one.    I decided when I was having my ‘morning coffee’, that I’d go to Crail harbour (in the car).   It wasn’t the bonniest of mornings but it was improving all the time.... and it was dry and not too windy.    Crail harbour was busy with visitors and I ended up talking to a lady from Norfolk .... her first time in Scotland.   Crail harbour was a photographer’s dream (it always is) this morning so I ‘snapped’ my way round. ... and I wasn’t the only one. 

Crail.

I came home via the ‘back road’ .... and found it busier than it normally is.    

This is the furthest I have been with the car since mid-March and I enjoyed driving.   Crail Harbour Toilets are operational;  both are unisex with  a notice on the outside of the door to let you know if it is ‘in use’ or not.   Having enjoyed today’s car journey, I may go along to Kinghorn next week.

21.00    I’ve had an exciting day today but I am tired and will be glad to get into bed with my book.   Ian and Fiona (next door) are away home;  I’ll miss them.   I am one of those people that talks a lot (too much most of the time) and found the COVID-19 ‘rools’ hampered me when talking,.... especially when speaking to someone wearing a mask at the shops;  so I tended to ‘lie low’.  However I am beginning to relax;  for example a conversation at Crail this morning.   I use lip reading to help me converse;  I’m not that good at lip


reading but it’s like turning the volume up and I ‘hear’ better. 

No ‘plan’ for tomorrow but I will have Stage 16 of ‘le Tour’ in the afternoon:  the weather forecast is ‘slightly iffy’ for early tomorrow (for us) anyway... but I might get out later in the afternoon.     I have plenty ‘work’  want to do on the computer.

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
