Beautiful sunrise sky ....

 

27th October 2020 (Tuesday)   08.30 .... what an absolute cracker o’


a mornin’;  one of those quiet peaceful mornings when even the birds were calm and quiet.   

I’m going to Leven to get the stuff I need to finish the fireplace job;  when that jobs done I can get back to sorting out the postcards.

14.00    The Leven mission went to ‘plan’ and I came home with everything I went for;   and no goodies.   The paint was a rip off ..... £20 for 0.75 litre;  the shelf above had the exact same tin (Black) at £22.59 so it pays to ‘shop around’ .... even in one shop.    It’s a bonnie tin.   The brakes will totally come off ROB (Rip Off Britain) after the 1st January.

I went down to Leven Prom to take  few photos;  a lot of folks were out walking their dogs.... little dogs mostly.   I asked one lady why so many little dogs and she said;  “because the people with the big dogs are out earlier, little dogs are taken out later, and can enjoy their time on the beach without fear of being attacked!”


It was sad being so close to the ‘Jimbo Residence’ and not being able to visit.    It’s highly likely that I (and other non family) won’t be allowed to visit  friends until there’s vaccine.

I have everything required to finish the fireplace now... that will be the mission tomorrow;  today has been a ‘rest’ day.

19.00    I’ve had a lazy(ish) day;  though I am pleased with the shopping this morning.    I did a wee bit of ‘work’ in the afternoon, but I think that yesterday’s effort caught up with me.... I fell asleep in the middle of solving a


Midsomer murder.     Now I feel bright eyed and bushy tailed, and in the mood for doing some research.

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
