Definitely wintry ....

10th February 2021 (Wednesday)      09.30 .... It is much colder this

The Ferry High Street at sunrise time.

morning.... and we’ve had more snow so it is also very wintry;  the snow on the car roof is about four inches deep so it must be that on the ground as well.

I did the same walk as I did yesterday, with the camera at a different format setting but it’s still not the one I had;  today’s photos are skinnier..... more panoramic.   I know how to change the settings now .... so I’ll get it right the next time I’m out.

Although I did the same walk as I did yesterday the photo’s are completely different;  not just because of their shape.... but because the sky is completely different, but still interesting.   Today’s sky is once more a photographer’s dream, if they like active shower clouds... and today’s shower clouds are active.   There’s. a proper wintry feel to the air.

The beach at sunrise time.

12.00     Well .... now I know what the fatigue is that you get with the jab.    I decided to go to the beach, for the second time this morning, and do part of the walk I did earlier... with the camera at another format setting.   The setting is alright, but my word I it took me a while to get back to Ivy.   I didn’t realise I could get so ‘fatigued’ so quickly.   I was glad to get back home and have a cuppa.... after which I felt fine again.   Now I need lunch.

14.30   A few minutes ago I heard the postie at the door;   when I went to see what surprises he had delivered (it’s usually junk mail that goes straight into the grey bin).    Today I found a box from Parcel force.   I checked the address ... it was addressed to ‘Albert Lawrie, The Royal Burgh etc.’... so it was for me right enough.   What was in this mysterious box?    Two Selkirk Bannocks from ‘Dalgetty the Artisan Baker’s’ in Galashiels.    Donald had organised them via the Dalgetty online shop.... knowing how much I love Selkirk Bannocks.   ‘Thank You Donald’;  they will be very much ‘enjoyed’.   In fact I have eaten one third of one of them already, so the ‘use by date’ (the end of March) has nae chance of becoming operational.

21.00   I have just discovered that I didn’t actually ‘update' the Hutte at all this morning

Sunrise time.

though I did type it up.   I must have been too excited by the clouds.   Anyway I’ll update it all at once after this. 

 In the middle of the afternoon In decided that the car wheels needed to be turned so ‘we’ went to .... yep ... the harbour.   Later in the afternoon I went down to the beach (for the third time today) at sunset time;  it has been a brilliant day for moody skies;  but I didn’t go very far.  I was glad to get back to Ivy again... and a refreshing cuppa.   Tomorrow’s walk will be much shorter.

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
