Lovely, fresh morning ....

 

24th December 2020 (Thursday)      07.30 .... The sky is clear and the stars

The beach was frozen and easy to walk on.

are still visible, though fading by the minute as the eastern sky brightens;  it’s going to be a bonnie day.   ‘Blob’ has had his breakfast and I am having a cuppa before going for the paper.     'Sunny with a fresh breeze from the NNW' is the forecast for KY9 today.... but it will be cold.

15.30     I did the paper, the harbour .... oh... and went to the bottle bank first thing in the morning;   all that was done in the car.    Since then I have had a multitude of cuppas, done a wee bit of ‘ousework, fed ‘Blob’ many times and have been out on the bike.    It was bitterly cold on the bike;   not something that my delicate lug appendages can put up with.   I wasn’t wearing a  hat with lug flap so, any idea of going further than Chapel Green had vanished by the time I traversed Sea Tangle road.    I may have a short walk on the beach at sunset time.

Sunset sky over Chapel Green - Earlsferry.

18.00    The short walk on the beach was extremely pleasant;   it wasn’t as cold as it had been on the bike and we had 85 clicks worth, of a glorious ‘red sky at night’ sunset.... yep... this ‘boy’ enjoyed his sunset walk.... and I’m sure all the other folk on the beach did too!    It was beautiful and very relaxing.





21.30    I’ve had a trial Zoom Meeting, with the ‘Troops’ in Auchnagatt and Sussex, and it worked perfectly.    (Note to me;   I must tidy up the bed in the computer room .... or change the angle of the video link).   Everything is organised for tomorrow’s ‘meeting’.    Apparently it’s fool proof.... but is it ‘Owlbert’ proof? ...all I have to do is click on link.   I’m actually looking forward to Christmas Day.... to this electronic way of ‘meeting’ is brilliant.   Michael is going to try to bring ‘JB’, and Emily and John into the meeting, and Iain is trying to organise Hazel.   In the evening  I should be able to see Leeann, Martyn Darcie and Sully who will be at Janice and Michaels (Sussex).

Tomorrow’s weather  is going to be ‘light cloud with a moderate breeze from the WSW

Elie Bay at sunset time.

(so not quite as cold as it was today)’ and I am going to have a fairly busy day.    My Christmas lunch is well(?) organised as is the rest of the day.   I plan to get to the beach in time to take a few photographs of the BTSC girls and boys, then I join our Zoom meeting at 11.30.... a fairly tight schedule.

Instead of an 'orlicks I’m having a ‘JT’ (Janice Toddie) because I got cold when out on the bike today;    the best antidote to anything cold is a ‘JT’.... this one has me in the mood for playing the ‘moothie’.

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
